DIRECTIVES WEST KICKS OFF #LAFW

posted by Elshane on Oct 18 2011, under Life of a Stylist

From a post a few days ago, you saw that I was to be GLAMBASSADOR of the highly acclaimed Directives West #FIRSTLA fashion show, to kick off LA Fashion Week. Here I am sitting with some fellow bloggers, including GLAMBASSADOR'S Kristen @Glitter_n_Glue (second to right) and Kelly Lee @BussBussKelly (far right). Now for a journey through the evening...   

 

Funny how I came to the event with the exact same hair/makeup inspiration as the model boards? #fate


Pre-show. Reminds me of my days in Public Relations at Diane von Furstenberg in NYC!

 

 

 

Kristen from @Glitter_N_Glue D-I-Y'd this belt!!

 

 

 

Video footage of me, center runway, announcing my favorites ways to dress. #lalalollipop was thrown in there...

Now for some of my favorite looks...
 

(On me: May Logan fur vest; Missoni top; Again skirt; Robert Rose bangles; CC Skye earrings; Christian Louboutin heels; Helena + Troy handbag)

The trends highlighted were:
Social Heritage: crisp basics, delicate heirloom wovens: a romanticized expression of roll-up-your-sleeve attitude, leisure and effortless dressing.
World Treasures: diversifying your look through multicultural escapes and limitless boundries:  Eastern influences, Sahara sands-- mixed with strength and grace.
Rapture: Striking imagery, clashing graphics, mismatched combinations; fluidity seeps through this hyperactivity in new zenith dimentions.
The Sophisticate: Futuristic minimalism (think Emma Stone in my FAV red carpet look of the year); a deconstructed and transparent world where harmony and composure shine on structured fabrics.
This night was SUPER-GLAM!

And ended with me getting a huge ice cream cone like after a gymnastics recital in elementary school.
