Finally, an LA Fashion show worth attending. After shuttering 18
months ago, Gen Art returned with it's legendary Fresh Faces in Fashion
Los Angeles show. Hosted by Zoe Saldana at the former cathedral of St. Vibiana in
downtown Los Angeles on Saturday night, the lineup for this year's show
included
We are Handsome,
Dear Creatures,
Odylyne,
Chambers,
71 Stanton,
Funktional,
Stand and Deliver, as well as accessory lines
Sticks and Stones,
Iman Toloui,
Plomo and
Tomtom.
I wasn't sure what to expect since LA Fashion Week isn't exactly top of
the list, but I was pleasantly surprised. For me the standouts were
Dear Creature and
Fuktional.
With their pretty, airy and laid back collections,
they are perfect L.A.
based labels. The standout accessory line was definitely the geometric designs of Tomtom, which were on display in the courtyard instead of the runway.
Although We Are Handsome,
Odylyne, and
71 Stanton had some great pieces, I wasn't excited about the collection overall.
My least favorite was Stand and Deliver. It
was way too S&M/punk rock for my delicate taste. Plus, the staged make out session
and guys brawl was more cringeworthy than entertaining. After the show, instead of shooing guests away, the DJ and drinks
continued late into the night. Welcome back, Gen Art! We missed you
more than you know.
