Tonight I headed over to LAFW at the Alexandria hotel in downtown LA to check out their lineup of designers this season and get a chance to enjoy the beautiful art installation as well. First, I got my hair done by the L'Oreal pro booth and got to show off this cool braid with my look.
I also got some samples from the new Living proof line of hair products which I am super excited to try! Next, I touched up my nails and got some free samples from the Trendz Colors booth.
I am looking forward to testing their Nail growth serum which I am in desperate need of! After checking out the colorful art it was time to start the show. The first designer Elsohi started their show off with a beautiful video showing grape vines which served as the backdrop for the collection. The show featured delicate but strong silhouettes in muted colors for fall and a decidedly feminine theme with ruffles and intricate details. The show was definitely a crowd pleaser and the space inspired silhouettes were right on trend. The feontvrow was filled with trend setters as guests came dressed for the artistic theme of the night. Two of the biggest trends I noticed were reds and mirror accents. Check out these stylish looks!
The next designer was MaryMe and Jimmy Paul a brand based in Amsterdam focused on innovative designs created by partners Marie Burlot and Jimmy Rinsum. The collection was focused on pushing the boundaries of design to represent pop culture using sculptural designs. The collection, looking more like art than clothing in some cases certainly achieved it's goal and had the whole audience mesmerized with the fantastical looks. The clear plastic showed off the inner designs and structures of the clothing while many looks had pieces dragging on the floor. The collection was a representation of current pop culture trends and used popular colors from social media trends including mermaid inspired blues and turquoises as well as unicorn style pinks and whites. I definitely enjoyed this fascinating collection.
I also had a great photo session with Rico Mejia an amazing photographer who also covers the event. He captured my outfit perfectly and I love how these photos came out! Check him out if you are interested in fashion photography @ricomejiaphoto
