VPL at Creatures of Comfort

Just a couple photos from the VPL show at Creatures. Geeked out over Victoria Bartlett herself in LA and the chance to see and touch the amazing combination of neutral and metallic textures in the fall collection.





Shit, I need to put a couple of those sets above on my wishlist.

Hands Down

Dolce Vita Fall 2010

Fantastic collection from Dolce Vita during LA Fashion Weekend at Sunset Gower studios. Reworked army jackets, patterned-knit ponchos with hoods and tiny silk jumpers I'm dyiiiing to try on come fall. Here are some snapshots!
PS - Had no idea the designing trio were so young! I was so surprised when three cute girls came out for waves after the show.

110 Years of Fashion

A few photos from Friday's opening of 110 Years of Fashion at the California Market Center in Downtown. So impressed by the results and presentations! Each blogger was assigned a decade and paired with a designer to create an installation inspired by the time. Mine was 90s which was an absolute treat. Focused on grunge, minimalism, and a bit of happy nostalgia, I built out and stacked tiny white tables adorned with some of my favorite things.

Thanks to Chelsea Matthews for an amazing event and having me! xx

Sneak A Picture

Wishing there was more to say and show from the Gen Art Alumni Celebration Tuesday at the Roosevelt. For the past few years the Gen Art Fresh Faces events have been my must-do, the highlight of LAFW, and pure fun. Highlighting the amazing talent that truly exists in LA. I love! This season with the announcement of an alumni bash featuring favs wren, Geren Ford, and Society For Rational Dress I was looking forward to an amazing show. But three hours into the event, I came to realize there was no literal show! A still presentation with no platforms, no space and no organization. Models were unintentionally hidden by a sea of people, a couple tall heads poking out from above the only sign that there was some action (be it untouchable). I saw maybe one piece at best as a squeezed by on my way out. The beautiful Roosevelt backdrop and warm LA night aside, I left disappointed. Especially sad for the designers...they deserved a much better showcase.

Los Angeles Fashion Week

LAFW, lol. Laughs aside (we can laugh at ourselves, right?) LA is legit. A little sloppy, but legit. Great lines, great things going on this week. I'll be highlighting several new brands, collections and covering a few shows here. Am also involved in an event going on Friday at the CMC (along with sosupersam and a handful of other LA-based bloggers)!

Come out for drinkies, see my attempt at channeling the 90s, etc.



RSVP by Wednesday.

Thawing

Back! A few notes and photos to follow soon.

Art Center

On Friday we ventured out to the Art Center grad show (to see mikeill - set blew my mind - DJ for Media Design). Here are some highlights! Somehow it didn't occur to me that I should hop over to the other hall for photography, opps, next year.



















Daniaelle Simonsen, Kyle Capps, Lena Tramutola and others.

Halloween

The best yet, complete with gut-wrenching laughter, hands-held with "Karl Lagerfeld" and to-remain-unlinked cobrasnake flashes.
