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.

Sky Blue Pants for the Spring Season

I've been quite in the Spring mood since this weekend and wanted to wear some color to LA Fashion Council's Day 1 of Fall/Winter 2015 Collections yesterday, so I immediately thought of my sky blue wide pants. I am absolutely obsessed with this color and it got me right in an upbeat, bubbly mood. I kept my top neutral but mixed it up with texture by wearing a lace and immaculately pearl beaded collar and a simple cream blazer over the shoulders. The pants got an extra pop when I used my vibrant coral clutch, creating a marriage of complementary colors. Of course, the runway lights were bright, so couldn't be without my ZeroUV sunglasses.

Eva Franco SS15 Collection at LA Fashion Council, Maker City LA

I've worn a beautiful Eva Franco dress for a television segment before, and was so excited to see what Eva has in store for Spring/Summer 2015. Eva's designs have been featured in numerous publications and seen on many celebrities; and is carried in 800 stores nationally and internationally. Known for her sophisticated and elegant designs celebrating the female form; the lines she creates are classic and feminine, flattering for any female shape; and some reminiscent of retro silhouettes. It was intriguing to see how certain textiles were carried out in a different designs, as well as the use of a range of elements such as lace, sequins, and structured to soft fabrics.
