Rock That Fashion LA Recap: Meat Packing District

Rock That Fashion LA Recap: Meat Packing District

There was definite edgy attitude in the air tonight with the fashion seen throughout the evening, however it wasn’t more apparent than during the Meat Packing District collection presentation.

Models exuded personality with sassy poses and smoldering stares. Oversized shoulder silhouettes, black lace cut-outs and sequins eluded to an 80’s vibe, while the men rocked distressed denim, cargos and black leather.

The piece de resistance was the parachute dress seen in acid green.

Rock That Fashion LA Spotlight: Camille

Rock That Fashion LA Spotlight: Camille

If cavemen and women put on fashion shows in between hunting for food and trying to outrun sabertooth tigers, I believe that this would be the show that would be presented. Rugged and raw, Camille put on a fiercly hot show for her latest collection. Tribal inspired, the true beauty shined through in her elaborate headwear that completed each look. Cut-out bathing suits and bikinis, some embellished with fur, were worn with silky capes and headdresses, while dresses were adorned with high necks and even higher leg slits, calling to the wild woman in us all.

Rock That Fashion LA Spotlight: House of Devali

House of Devali presented a show of good vs. evil with their latest collection. The pieces, in a contrasting palette of black and white, were edgy, funky and daring. In the white collection, fringe accents were worn as angel wings with white one-pieces, while crop tops were embellished with sleeves of oppulent fur. The black collection featured sheer mesh fabrics and corset tops, lending a darker, more sensual edge to the overall line. The fur sleeves returned again, this time on a black mini dress that was to die for when paired with the perfect black ankle bootie.

New Fashions of 2014: Designing Outside The Box

New Fashions of 2014: Designing Outside The Box

The Sweatpant Work Pant:

As a writer, I am all about being comfortable when I work, and I will admit some days I do lounge in bed with my coffee and my laptop, but on days I hit the office I get dressed is something fashionable and fun. I’m just not quite sure about sweatpants at the office. Maybe for casual fridays?

The Disco Hoodie

Last I checked, a hoodie wasn’t proper night club attire, a place where I could see this fashion gem finding it’s rightful home. If you were the guy or girl wearing this to a house party or other public event you might just find yourself to be the center of attention. Or in the center of a dance battle. Whichever.


The Space Jacket

I can see someone who has been to space, or an avid fan of astronomy, rocking this jacket. The rest of us? We can only wish upon a star to be so cool.

Stop And Smell The Peonies: Spring 2014 Accessories

Opening the spotlight collection is a peony designed gold-plated, resin and crystal necklace by Oscar De La Renta.

Nothing finishes an evening look quite like a shimmering cocktail ring, and Miu Miu’s Italian-made floral design is a whimsical choice. Thissilver-plated piece is set with small pavé crystals and faux pearls – wear yours to add sparkle to a simple black dress, or work it off-duty with a classic sweater and jeans.

Versace Dresses Another Diva

Versace Dresses Another Diva

Beyonce donned a custom-created, white and silver leather halter mini on the European leg of her Mrs. Carter World Tour, and we believe this is the start to a beautiful friendship. The mini included white sequins and sculpted metal beads, opening Mrs. Carter’s new breathtaking show. Donatella is two for two, and we are excited to see what other collaborations are hidden up her, always fashionable, sleeve.
