It has long been thought by many jaded Angelenos that this city would never be able to have a proper fashion week with respected designers and enough energy like the NYC shows. After the skin.graft fashion show on Saturday night at the LA Theater, my confidence has been restored!

I wasn’t sure what to expect before I headed downtown to the show…I had heard from a friend who attended the night the Gen Art show the night before that it was very chaotic and disorganized. I also received a text from a friend inside the show to come “early” so I was prepared for the worst possible scenario – a giant crowd like at Smashbox and a pile up of cars in the valet. When I arrived, none of these scenarios played out – thankfully.
We were let into the venue without much delay and wandered around the beautiful theater.
A fashion show was going on downstairs and since it was an open floor plan, one could see the show from a far or from the top of the stairs. There was such a diverse crowd of people! Trannies with wild outfits and mile high stilletos, goth kids, valley girls, Hollywood types, and even god forbid…normal people. It felt more like a giant party than a serious fashion show and that was the best part of all. There were no attitudes, no pretentiousness…just plan old love of fashion and support of LA Fashion Week. So refreshing.

The 10pm skin.graft show started around 10:15ish and a troupe of dancers came out on the catwalk and did some interpretative dances to set the tone of the show.
The designs were wearable and aspirational…my favorite piece of the show was this beautiful white outfit – a bit reminiscent of cross between Chanel x Givenchy…

Hooray for the designers of skin.graft – congratulations on a wonderful show! AND, we must not forget the fabulous ladies at PUREconsulting for their fine efforts at managing all PR and show needs!
Before we left, I had to take a picture of my beloved Paris Hilton look alike – who attends every LA Fashion Week wearing sunglasses…
