Fashion Week LA -Our First Night @ Driven By Design

This was the first show for the Driven By Design team, Lela Christine and Lori A. Neal and hopefully the first of many seasons to come. It was a very good start for these two forces.  

They were able to pull this event off in literally just a few months, a job well done.  Check back in the a day or two to see the marvelous collections from The Dena Burton Collection, BK Phillips, Dominique Siby and the fabulous Thai Nguyen.

Also look for two interviews with designers Dena Burton and BK Phillips.
