AI FOR AI 1st Show – in the LA Times!!

While downtown “fashion week” festivities have commenced, a few events still linger on the Westside, showcasing local designers in nontraditional venues and presentations.

The L.A. Fashion Collective highlighted four contemporary collections at a crowded cocktail party Wednesday night. Looks from the fall/winter 2010 lines of Dolan, Barlow, Jane Oh and Ai for Ai were on display at Bond St. inside the Thompson Hotel. Two models donned one ensemble for about five minutes then changed into another designer’s clothing, giving ample time to take in the black cocktail dresses and slouchy fleece pants, but difficult to see everything in a timely manner. But the party seemed to be more about support than actually seeing the clothes. Guests at the event were a mix of fashion folk and friends and fans of the designers who excitedly snapped pictures and seemed genuinely thrilled for their moment.

And from the clothing I did see, Ai for Ai shined as an interesting collection of fluid and modern separates with a slight goth undertone. Think “Twilight,” grown up and much more girly.

Our friends Dylan & Caroline invited us out to the Magic Castle in good ol’ Hollywood, CA this past week. It was a delightful time and we felt like little kiddies again. In the close-up and intimate parlor room of 21 seats we got to see superb sleight of hand tricks. Right after we mosied on over to the big room with a big stage and were treated to big stage personalities, light sabers, flaming torches and lots of body slicing action. Uhhhh, did somebody say, no cameras???

close up tricks in this room!!

apparently, chung was a great master. so many images of him around the castle.

where did the body in the trapezoid go after being stabbed by light sabers??
