Although there were a lot of inspiring and up and coming designers who's work had been shown such as Mr. Triple X or "M" The Movement, a different vibe seemed to be in the designs which puts LAFW in a lacking position when comparing it to New York or Paris and its highly prestigious fashion weeks. First off there was a lot of ready-to-wear, which is fine, but where is the couture? Where is the one of a kind pieces that set one designer apart from the rest? Now I know it seems as if I disliked what I saw, which is the furthest thing from the truth; However one thing should be considered when thinking about LAFW. This is L.A! One of the fashion mecca's in the world! We set the trend for others to follow! With so many different types of style scenes such as hipster, goth, grudge rock, sophisticated chic, and urban glam just to name a few.In my opinion LAFW should be on the same level as Paris and New York, and for some reason it always falls short. I just wanted to see more inspiration, perhaps stories being told through the clothing, while playing and taking risk on texture and architecture.
Here's to hoping next years LAFW will be more vamped with new inspiration and concepts!
