LA in a Day Event - 1010 Wilshire

On Thursday, March 29th, I had the opportunity to cover a Spring Fashion Show and Cocktail Party event called "LA in a Day" presented by The Los Angeles Urban League Young Professionals. The posh event was held at 1010 Wilshire right in the heart of DTLA, the views were just spectacular.

If you don't know, I help cover events alongside CEOTV, where we primarily help fellow entrepreneurs promote their business. Nonetheless it was great being front and center for the entire event. So many beautiful people looking fly as always, made me wish that I was more dressed for the occasion, but it was probably a good thing since it was freezing that night! I mean, when you're on the rooftop at night, what else is to be expected?

Overall, it was a great event! I had the pleasure of interviewing a good number of people, even Ralph Diesel, one of the co-founders of Royal Dynamite. Too bad Pharrell Williams couldn't be there, but his new line of liqueor called Qreme was one of the sponsors. I had both the Strawberry and Peach Qreme, I mean I wish I had more, especially since they were complimentary plus delicious.

Kanye West's Clothing Line GETS BETTER The 2nd Time Around...

This is the second showing of Kanye West's line for Fall/Winter 2012. He did a much better job than the first one, mainly because I think he took what the critics said to heart about how his collection was 'all over the place.' Many celebs like Diddy, Kim Kardashian, Alicia Keys, and Common were there to lend a hand in support.

The line seemed to have stuck around those FIYAH belted stiletto boots, garments and outerwear of the browns, whites, and soft peach. Everything was kept in a flowing, cohesive manner. See some more looks, and I've got a video of the show via Fashion Bomb Daily.

Great Collection! Winter 2012/13 BURBERRY Men's Runway Show

Check out the Winter 2012/13 BURBERRY Men's Runway Show.

In case you may not know, fashion houses display their 'coming works' at least 2 seasons ahead of its time, to give them time to produce the works and time to get to the stores before that 'coming season' arrives.

Dolce & Gabbana Releases Runway Video: Men's Winter 2013 Looks

Guys, stay up on the LATEST trends through fashion show videos. Even if you may not be a guy who cares much about FASHION, in some kind of way, someone is watching you; how you carry your style game is an unspoken language of how you carry yourself. It determines whether or not you think HIGHLY of yourself.

Without further ado, check out the DOLCE & GABBANA Men's Winter 2013 Fashion Show, via FashionTV.

There seems to be a pattern or trend of gold patterns and paisley infused into blazers, pants, and socks. I'm also getting a 1920s and 1930s vibe with the undergarments.

Look for these in stores (especially paisley) in about SUMMER 2012.

Official Pics of Kanye West's 'Dw' Fashion Line

Here are some of the looks from the Kanye West 'Dw' Womenswear Collection.

Many critics cried 'WOLF' to his collection, maybe because they're used to seeing fashion in a certain way. But to me, the FASHIONISTA that I am, I thought that some of Kanye's pieces were nice! The signature 'sweater' heels: MONUMENTAL!

By the looks of the line, Kanye was attempting to incorporate all the looks he love: CLASSIC, EDGY, GRUNGY, CONTROVERSIAL. If that wasn't what he was tryin' to reach, oh well... let's hope for a better season.

What A Commenter Said About Kanye West's 'Dw' Line (He/she gave 10 Points of RUDE...and possibly TRUE)

Wassup world? I woke up this morning to the comments and suggestions about Kanye West's new womenswear line and this one person commented on how the fashion show was, after KANYE ranted went he should have smiled and acted proud of his collection even though it was under expectation (I did like some of his pieces, though).

Read the comments that this one person made below. I call it 'THE 10 POINTS OF RUDE'.

1) Ill fitting and poorly constructed clothes that don't know what season they are supposed to be.
2) Poor, novice-like fabric choices.
3) NO real POV - this show is a mix of a Pratt student show mixed with Alaia knockoffs mixed with Balmain cast offs by way of Baby Phat - this is no one's damn luxury.
4) Black "designer" with 2 black models in his show.
5) His BEGGING for a reprieve is beyond humiliating. Who does that??? After Michael Kors' disastrous collection, you didn't see him begging like a crack ho'.
6) Those hair extensions looked like they were applied somewhere in the Metro by Helen Keller and Stevie Wonder.
7) The slit up knitwear and open necklines looked like they just left the Slut Walk. His sense of what is sexy is so cliche and obvious.
8) How can anyone make Anja R. look bad???? Kanye found a way. That white bandage dress looked like someone put her in a food processor.
9) Those name plates provide NO irony. I am sure that's what the team of stylists thought. Get the eff outta here.
10) Those shoes. Period.
