LA Fashion Week Meets Vintage Clothing Runway
While LA Fashion Week may have lost what little clout it had due to lack of interest from IMG and lack of money from, well everyone in California right now, the spirit of creativity and beautiful design has not been completely lost. I am thrilled to be attending the Downtown Los Angeles Fashion Week (DLAFW) show entitled 'Evening of 20th Century Glamour' on March 19th.
The event will be hosted by actress Rachel Griffiths and feature one of vintage fashion's authorities, Cameron Silver's collection of 20th century fashions to be worn by the runway women of LA Models and special celebrity guests. Fashion designer Louis Verdad's new collection Louver, shot by photographer August Bradley, and the video installation about the designer by film director Robertino Fonseca, will also be presented. I own a few Louis Verdad pieces, both very vintage inspired, but for an even like this, I think I really should opt for vintage.
I am thinking of wearing a Jacques Heim couture dress, but aside from its rhinestone embellishments, I think it might be a little understated. Or I could wear an adorable velvet mini dress from the 1960s - it has the cutestet satin bow and has rhinestone trim on the neckline. This can be worn with really cute modern booties. Pictures to follow.
If you are in the LA area and are interested in attending this event, it is actually open to the public. See more information at www.downtownlafashionweek.com.
