On Tuesday, twenty cutting-edge designers and much of LA’s fashion elite swarmed Club Topicana at historical Hotel Roosevelt to join Gen Art in kicking off Fashion Week with a bang. Hosted by former model and emerging style icon/former exotic dancer/Kanye West playmate Amber Rose, the “Alumni Reunion” celebration drew exceptionally attractive crowds to mingle, ogle, and imbibe – all while expertly maneuvering around the Roosevelt’s huge [and, admittedly, inviting] pool. Armed with a camera, a pair of fierce stilettos and Clint Catalyst, I headed into the belly of the fashion beast to explore.
Each of the featured designers was flanked by a model showcasing one of their creations, and we waded through the ocean of heels and hair to track them down, with much success. Jeffrey Sebelia’s red Jedi made a lasting impression with her sizable shades and crimson lips.
