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.

Let's go LA!

Last Tuesday, I attended Pop-Up at EM & Co which showcases collections from PetroZilla and Lisamichelle plus jewelry designs from Tiffany Kunz Design, Tatianna, and Black Tree Couture.

 

   

The collections from PetroZilla and Lisamichelle are modern and chic. They both look simple yet stylish. They're definitely suitable for the career women out there who can wear their collections both for work and then glam it up for the night time. 

The jewelry are also simple not too over the top and wearable for everyday.

What I really love is the idea of supporting local designers. The Pop-Up is a monthly event where they feature different LA designers each month. A good way to promote the not well-known designers out there. You never know, maybe you'll see the next big designer before he/she became famous!

they still need our help

Last Friday, I attended a Japan Relief Benefit and Fashion Show, a fundraiser for Japan Emergency Relief Fund of America (JERFA). It's a reminder that even if we don't see it on the news anymore, it does not mean everything's okay. People in Japan still need our help. They're still recovering from the devastating event.

The fashion show featured Japan inspired clothing (designers Mayumi Bradshaw, Ahrniimura, Tsubomi, and Queenie4ever) and jewelry (Preco)
