“Fashion is the armor to survive the reality of everday life” – Bill Cunningham

Last week the hottest fashion event on the west coast made it’s spring appearance, LA Fashion Week Fall/Winter ’18. Returning to the iconic and chic NeueHouse Hollywood, this season was sponsored by Porsche; which given our car affinity, was the perfect match.

The use of space for this seasons show was the most ambitious and creative yet, featuring an elaborate layout for attendees to get a full viewing of all designs from multiple angles by having the runway weave through the audience.

As always, the open spaces of the venue featured art pieces from local artists and featured a live water sketch art sessions where some attendees found themselves portraying a muse to a local artist who sketched portraits of them. Porsche also brought several cars to display inside the venue to add a dash of automotive artistry to the event as well as offered test drives of some of their latest models.

As always, the crowd was as fashionable as ever. From elegant gowns to custom suits, the diversity of fashion expression is an experience unto itself. It is a true reminder of just how culturally diverse and creative people in Los Angeles can be and it’s great to have a moment to appreciate that fact.

It seems an impossible task, but again LA Fashion Week FW’18 has been the best LA Fashion Week to date. It was amazing to see how the venue we first caught this event at 3 years ago had been transformed into something familiar, yet much grander and it really highlights how far the event has come over the years. We cannot wait to see what the LA Fashion Week team will bring out next season.
