At Louis Verdad, something happened that no one in the limited history of LA Fashion Week can remember ever happening before. We were all locked out of the tents, while only those with invitations in hand were allowed. We were stuck in some Brazil-like new set of rules. I needed to get inside to get my seat assignment. Ah, press pass, those things you pay 50 bucks for, you DO need them. With a wave of the pass, and a minor incident involving someone stealing my identity and my seat (The PR chick at the door had her axed Cutrone style, "Kill her and get her out," she yelled into her headset. ) I sat right behind Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon. I also saw the younger Gilmore Girl, and Randy Jackson (I wondered if he gave a running commentary, "You did good dawg") . But the clothes really outshone everything. It's MOD! That's right go buy a Vespa and get a pixie cut, cause Spring is all about MOD, and at Louis Verdad it was a refined mod, very lady like and proper. Piece after piece I drooled. The collection had a strong linear cohesion, from Mary Quant A- frame dresses to black and white one pieces. I think Mod is the natural progression of all the styles we're seeing lately, skinny pants, short dresses with boots. Verdad's show left me with an unshakeable desire to buy all his clothes and watch Quadrophenia again...
