Bravo Bebe!

bebe was the second high street retailer to show at LA Fashion Week and after the sheer embarrassment of WalMart's Metro 7 runway show, I must admit, I had some prior reservations. But they vanished as bebe presented some of the week's more innovative designs, sending their models teetering out like human bubble lampshades in shades of ebony and ivory. The stand-out piece was a long black trench coat with a train long enough for a goth bride, or Darth Vader. I enjoyed the eyelet see-through jumpsuits worn a-la Gwen Stefani with plenty of gold bling. Cropped jackets with square shoulder pads were worn with slim capri pants and spiky stripper heels. Bustiers and sheer mesh midriffs added some vavoom, counterbalancing the pretty puffballs that opened the show. Bravo bebe!
