debut 2011

the annual FiDM Debut Show was last night at the Barkar Hanger in Santa Monica

I went, for the third year in a row, and loved it like I always do.

we were running a little late and missed the beginning of the show where they have a small runway show showcasing work done by the costume design major and also what they call "Chairing Styles" where interior design, textile design, and fashion design collaborate to create a fabric pattern that is used in a chair as well as a dress.

we made it just in time for the actual show where the Advanced Study Fashion Design students showcase their work.

this year there were 10 designers that produced wonderful garments.

men's, women's as well as children's wear was created and each line had a very specific inspiration.
I did not get great pics due to where my seat was; but here are a few pictures of a number of the collections:

this collection was inspired by the 50's

this was inspired by a video game

 this collection was inspired by the 30's

this was a complete knitwear collection; inspired by Russia

this was a collection done by Paul Hernandez; it was the last collection of the show and my absolute favorite. he used black, ivory, cheetah, and coral and had a lot of girly, ruffled pieces.


for those of you who live in CA; I recommend trying to go to the show next year.
xoxo.
