Fashion Weeklings? LA Observed Notices Our Abscence

We ask, why be in a leaky tent when you can be here?

It was noted on LA Observed that the Style Council has been quiet this LA Fashion Week.

But that's not to say we weren't out and about...there were several new fashion weeks springing up around town. (Ok, mostly downtown) and we decided to try them out. Last season I was so bummed to hear about the best shows taking place in wine cellars, and exotic locations, while I still sipped treacly vodka drinks with embarrassing names, and shlepped back and forth on a commuter bus to see a Walmart show. But this is nothing new. So this season we got our boyshort panties in a bunch over BOXeight's two nights of fashion shows in the gloriously splendid Los Angeles Theater, that has the kind of lux feeling and golden light that makes you feel gorgeous and fashionable in a way no herding back and forth from Lightbox to Main Tent can. (But we haven't completely forsaken Smashbox, Lina went to the Imitation of Christ show held at the Culver City tents, which we suspected would be the best of the bunch, see her post.)

Watch this for space for coverage of upcoming satellite events all over town like tonight's Susan Cianciolo show held in a bike shop, Project Runway winner designer Jeffrey Sebelia's latest collection, held at an off site event featuring the band Ima Robot (see my sneak peek at his designs in the latest LA Weekly!) and more!

So stay tuned, this season is different, the best shows are going on outside of the "official" IMG fashion week and reports will come in daily...
