Alternative Apparel Spring 2012

 It's been quite cold these days in LA. Wish Spring/Summer was here? I can't make time go by faster (although it sure feels like it's going by quite fast) but I can show you pictures from the Alternative Apparel Spring 2012 fashion show. It will bring a sense of Spring to your wardrobe.

The fashion show was produced by Style Fashion Week LA which they had a series of events for Fashion Week at Vibiana. Outside of Vibiana, people were found mingling with a drink in their hand prior to the show. Indoors, people sat in rows of chairs or stood behind to get a view of the runway. The fashion show featured both women and men Spring 2012 collection. To me, the collection seemed like a combination of American Eagle and Urban Outfitters. It was mostly beachwear, so to me, it seemed more like a summer collection. Nonetheless, it was still a good collection for Alternative.

Two new lines I encountered during L.A. Market Week. Both are simple and stylish, reminds me of California girls. I was able to see the Fall '11 collection for Quail (got some very cute pieces) but couldn't find any pictures for it, but their Spring collection is equally cute and stylish.

80% of us don't play with clothes

I heard about this saying recently,

"80% of us don't play with clothes"

it wasn't a shocker, but it definitely made me realize... i'm one of the 20%! Not that it's a bad thing to dress safe, i'd just like to play with my clothes more. Maybe...i shouldn't buy new clothes for a while just so i'm forced to play with clothes more haha :D

a few designer that DEFINITELY plays with clothes...
