DAY ONE (Saturday)
This season by the time this venue took place I was totally wiped out from driving back and forth from Ventura County to Los Angeles during this fashion week and decided not to go.  Don't worry we still sent our crew over to cover the runway shows. 
Nathanaelle Couture 
First to grace the runway was Danemark born Nathanaelle Couture, this is our second time seeing this designer on the runway. I see she has a love for lace, I notice that she used lace in her last spring/summer collection too. This collection seems more grown up than the last time. I loved the sophistication of the beige lace dresses, definitely something that I can see in local boutiques.  She also had some vintage inspired pieces in this collection, my three favorites are pictured below.

VIEWS FROM THE FRONT ROW

This was Concept LA first time at the former Smashbox location Quixote Studies. I did not make it to see the first runway show NuVula, bummer.

Burke to develop a collection of prints based on his "Beautiful Again" series.

Yoze's SS2014 collection features an assortment of  silhouettes executed in a pallet of whites, mauves, yellows and gold. Angular dresses in spandex jersey extended to the knee and use abbreviated peplums to nip the waist. In the same way, printed crepe jersey sundress are modernized and layered with short sleeve peplum jackets to enhance  the shoulders and waistline. Raglan jackets in printed satin are over floor-length jersey dresses that fade from mauve to a matching surrealistic golden print.

On a side note: Thanks for leaving your material for the media on our seats, I wish more designers would take heed to that bit of professionalism.
