So...LA Fashion Week kicked off on Wednesday night with FGILA's 2nd Annual event, "Meet The Designers & The Muse That Inspires Them." I attended the 1st one 6 months ago...and was so impressed with the quality level of the event...that I couldn't wait to attend this one. It was held at the Super Swanky...Downtown Standard Hotel. The super modern lobby was swarming with Fashion Whos's Who...the lush atmosphere filled with models, designers, artists, and musicians...felt right at home to me! Last time I brought my favorite Runway model...Britania Herrlein. But this time...I decided to go a different route. I brought one of the Hottest, and coolest mucisians...Ryan Starr. Did I also mention how HOT she was? She came in for a fitting the day before...and of course everything fit her like a glove. She was obsessed with one of my favorite jackets...so...of course...she rocked the hell out of it with one of my black floor length skirts...hot off the runway..I paired it with a simple black tank called "Look at These" from my Lounge Collection. We both did our own make-up...and we had our hair done by a friend. We ended up doing a last minute quick change Ryan's hair...but it was definately for the best...and off we went. But...not of course, without picking up my BFF & Fashion Side Kick...Mark Montano. Once we arrived...the lights were flashing...and the papparazzi were going crazy! We walked the Red Carpet...and did a few interviews. The evening was magical...Not only did I have the opportunity to re-connect with some of my favorite designers...Maggie Barry, Eric Kim, & Sue Wong, but I also got to meet some newer ones that I kept tabs on from Project Runway...Nick Verreos, Mila Hermanovski, & Jesus Estrada.Looking forward to a busy week of fashion...poor me...
