Sauri FW15 at LA Fashion Council Collection Showings

Known for his signature skate and street style aesthetic, LA designer Kyle Awtry presented his SAURI FW15 collection at LA Fashion Council. The collection was filled with simple denim and chambray pieces, as well as lace layers and loungewear-like clothing. The line was made for 'that every cool girl from Venice to Downtown, skateboard or no skateboard, wants to wear right now'. My favorite piece was the denim maxi dress that had an interesting cut out and neckline. Most of the other pieces were casual with a conceptual touch from Awtry. Pull over jackets and sweatershirts were made a bit more appealing with fabric mixing, but I felt as if some of the bottoms were ill-fitting on the models. See the Sauri SS15 Collection here and other LAFC collections I've posted about so far.

Stella Proseyn FW15 at LA Fashion Council Collection Showings

LA designer Debbie Talanian is the queen of minimalist lines and textiles; this season for her Stella Proseyn Fall 2015 Collection shown at LA Fashion Council, Makercity LA, Talanian presented a line up of military green hues, lace overlays, boxy jackets and tops, tailored slacks, and a very bold and almost reptilian fabric which is a slight departure from what I've seen in past Stella Proseyn collections.

Talanian got her inspiration through fabrics and let them lead her collection. There was a focus on attainable beauty and everyday luxury, and fabrics that feel good and look good. Silhouettes were clean, minimal, and still relevant without being trendy. The pieces were designed to be ones a woman can keep in her wardrobe season after season, and were all designed and produced in LA.

Rose La Grua FW15 at LA Fashion Council Collection Showings

Every season, I'm anxious to see what LA designer Rose La Grua has created, this year she showed her collection at LA Fashion Council FW15 Collection showings at Maker City LA. She has such a unique touch and flair about her line 'That's Totally Fine', and as I have been in awe of her designs in past seasons, she did it again for her Fall/Winter 2015 collection, "cream dream", inspired by vintage lingerie. This vintage theme also carried out with the glamorous wavy hair her models donned, as well as their opulent jewelry and pointed heels or flats. La Grua always finds some way to make even a slip dress or silk shorts interesting whether it adding bows or ties in different places, or mixing contrasting fabrics; my favorites included a square paneled vest and voluminous peplum coat. Her designs were classic, clean, feminine, and flirty, and she focused on all natural fibers, using wool, linen, and silk for her pieces all in a monochromatic palette.

Topshop's Striped Floral Print Trousers

For Day 2 of LA Fashion Council's FW15 Collection Showings, I wanted to wear pants like the day before, so I chose these amazingly printed trousers from TOPSHOP. I love the colors and floral/stripe print of the pant, very striking without giving you a headache when you look at it, and I mixed prints and textures by pairing a textured sweater top. Here are the outfit details, and stay tuned for coverage of the LAFC designers!
