Still busy, however! Last week, Clint Catalyst and I jumped into a rented Escalade, zoomed downtown, haphazardly strapped Clint into a chain harness [these things are unrelated], and attended what was likely LA Fashion Week’s best night: the Ashton Michael, Skingraft, and Anthony Franco triple threat show.
Coverage here, a few pictures below, and more after the jump. Do enjoy!
The upstairs lobby of the gorgeous LA Stock Exchange was transformed into a glowing bar, serving up popcorn, tiny cupcakes, candy and beglittered blue drinks.
Skingraft stole the show, opening with a stunning video montage.
Reportedly inspired by ghosts and Africa, this collection was decidedly more necro-futurist than Skingraft’s trademark aero-tribalist. See what I did there? SRS FSHN JRNLZM.
Last year’s military and aviation gear, feathers and buckles gave way to somber head wraps, leather hoods, and minimal draping, much to my delight.
It was a very special night, as evidenced here and here.
Once again, you can read my coverage of the entire show here and see the full gallery after the jump, below.
So lovely, one day I will go!
I’m so sad I didn’t make it to their show this year! I do love the silhouettes and details of this years a lot more. Skingraft has definitely matured into a polished brand with out losing much of their identity.
There’s always next year! Agreed completely, Yume, I don’t miss the more costumy look. Solid stuff.
Looks like SKINGRAFT is on the schedule for this #LAFW Sunday March 13th 5:00-9:00p, but i’ve not see the rsvp/invites go out…. im hoping i do.
And look whose post was just passed my way via the trusty toolbar share?
[ Here’s where I’d normally comment about being “awash with nostalgia”–or, in this case, an unforeseen tsunami, even… However, considering certain misfortunes in the world as of late: Why don’t I aim for the succinct and globally considerate? ]
Said another way? Good times; good times, indeed… I miss you & send wishes for many more, Miss Thing!
