Concept Los Angeles Ace Gallery Fashion Show Fall Winter 2012 Collections


Saturday March 10, 2012

By Shawn Kelly
From the moment I walked into The Concept Los Angeles Ace Gallery, kindly hidden in an area I once called home, I caught a real retro feel, and was pleasantly welcomed by a gentleman kindly escorting me upstairs in a classic vintage elevator.

The galleries featured artist was Mary Corse and I have to admit, was an extra bonus!

 The ambiance of it all was art meets chic, and with added fashion exhibits by, Curly-V, Zu Bauen and other LA designers ones need for fashion and art was definitely met in every way!

3:00pm Runway Show: Gypsy Junkies 

The vision of a dark angel falling in love with a flower child came across quite clear in the Gypsy Junkie fall winter 2012 collection. Flower silk prints and dark velvet bell-bottoms were some of the collections key components. 

I've never been a fan of light colors under-toned with black, however the designers’ touch impressed me...

Ok ladies, this up and coming season is going to be full of dark and rich colors, and that includes makeup too. And for hair, think out side of the box. Plats, twist, and pin-up braids are a must have!
 This look is straight from the runway!
