Gen Art: Fresh Faces

Guest Writer: Stacy Ellen
Genart is known for discovering new and up and coming fashion designers. I was a little perplexed by the fact that 2 out of the 4 designers presented at their SS14 LAFW event

were designers that I consider to already be established not only in Los Angeles, but nationally? Despite this conversion the overall trend that was shown in ALL collections was the sporty high fashion look. Traditional sports uniform cuts made with traditionally high fashion fabrics. A trend that I feel is very prevalent not only in fashion but the way that we live our daily lives. With most of us rushing from our child's soccer game (or other daytime activities) to a colleagues dinner party, this style melds well with our busy lifestyles. 

 

Unexpected Surprises

Last Tuesday after the Men's Fashion Week Show, I had two unexpected surprises, I was invited to an independent fashion show in Hollywood for Celebrity Fashion Stylist and Designer Ashton Michael. 

Ashton presented his "Black Cross" Spring/Summer 2014 Collection, all in black & white, on a gray stage right off Hollywood Blvd.  It was a wicked collection of leather, silk chiffon, organza and PU coated denim for both men & women. Perfect outfits to add a little spice to your wardrobe. For more on Ashton Michael please visit http://www.ashtonmichael.com/
