Will LA ever be taken seriously in the fashion world?

A WRAP-UP ON LA FASHION WEEK FALL/WINTER 2013 COLLECTIONS

I decided to write things a little different this season after my experience with fashion week in Los Angeles this March. I guess this is the first season that I am a little disappointed with some of the designers and with some of the venue producers.  I sometimes wonder if Los Angeles is taken seriously in the rest of the world as a fashion leader?

I did not do Concept LA this season, mostly due to how it was ran last season. I absolutely love the venue, but hated the wait between shows in the hot sun and did not want to experience that again. (My photographer who is a red head and fair skin did not fair too well in the sun) I did not want to chance it again this season. I am not sure if they improved on that part of the event, if anyone knows if they did I would love a feedback in comments. The runway shows feature the following designers Jen Awad, Nikki Rich, Mike Vensel, B:Scott & Sarah Scott. I did score a few images from the shows.

Bosnian born designer, Ina Soltani, showcased her Fall/Winter 2013 collection last night to a packed house. Ina's designs reflect the dramatic narratives of her Sarajevo homeland. Her aesthetic draws inspiration from cultures and traditions throughout the world. Ina's gowns express modern and glamour, while featuring ancient artisan techniques of embellishment.

Ina Soltani presented her Fall Winter 2012 Collection Monday evening at downtown Los Angeles Vibiana.  The new line featured plenty of bold colors,feathers & leather  in this season's collection. My favorites were her bright bold glamorous evening gowns in her collection. Really Amazing.
