geometry and fashion at LA Fashion Week
If art and fashion can make a good combination, so can geometry and fashion come together. At the LA fashion week this was evident at the Lizz Wasserman show. Right in the middle of the runway there was a geometric installation where the models walked…figuring out the exits and entries perfectly. The spring collection for 2010 was simple with typical geometric shapes and designs and cuts. It was called Popomomo show. It turned out that organic cotton, hemp and other sustainable materials were used heavily to produce this collection. Buckminster Fuller, German Dada artist Hannah Höch, and Russian constructivists were the main inspiration for this collection.
As part of trendsetting, one saw a cool blending of brown and black on the runway. Inspired by the first lady of America Michelle Obama, designer Louis Verdad chose white and gold to dress his models. With funky hair styles and simple accessories like handbags, sun glasses he got a standing ovation. The theme for his collection was to portray power women like Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey and Grace Jones. Along with this theme in action, another blender was the Mode Israel 2010 Spring collection. Natural hairstyles for black and brown skin tones were the highlight of the shows. The afro puffs, curls, perms made their way into the runway of LA fashion week.
The city of celebrities saw quite a few of them gracing the front rows of the some of the designers. But designers got their due importance at LA fashion week.
