ZALEZ STUDIO FW 14/15 RTW capsule collection

DTLA Fashion & Art Scene

The totally rad Zalez Studio presented their Fall/Winter 14/15 Ready-to-Wear Capsule Collection with visual art projections by Akiko Yamashita, at their storefront in Downtown LA last Thursday. Design team Joab Zalez and Rafael Mercado stayed true to their unique style of vinyl and paneled pieces of fur, mesh, and reflective elements, but added small changes such as lining inside paneled or sheer/mesh pieces and adding more of a 'street' look such as the men's red vinyl track-like jacket. My favorite pieces were the white cold shoulder top, iridescent coat, voluminous-sleeved maxi dress (paired with a black/white faux fur vest), and a men's oversized collared coat (I tried it on but it's just too big, I love how it feels like a cocoon though).  See past seasons coverage here.
