Last month, David and I were tasked with putting together a FABULOUS Fashion Display of some of Bravo's "Project Runway" Season 17 Looks for a very special "For Your Emmy Consideration" Event that was happening at the Cathedral of Saint Vibiana in Downtown Los Angeles for Emmy's voters. This event was organized by Bravo TV and a way to remind Emmy Voters that Bravo TV shows--such as "Project Runway" and "Top Chef" should be on their minds when thinking of Best Competition Reality Shows...


As a Consulting Producer on the Season of "Project Runway", naturally I was pretty knowledgeable of the looks/designs and also, David and I had put together a very successful Fashion Display not too long ago for Bravo TV using some of this current designer's looks for a Television Critics Association Press Launch Event HERE. So...naturally, they asked us to do it all again, but using actual designs from this season...


David and I gathered looks from this season's Challenges (ones that have aired), had them delivered,...then we got dress forms, and steam the looks and brought them to Vibiana's and...it was "Done & Done".
Here are photos from the wonderful Bravo's Season 17 "Project Runway" Display we created:

Pin Up Divas, A Fashionable Church, Sexy Tattoos, and Lady Gaga??? Welcome to Style Week LA...
Last night, I was invited to attend the inaugural night of Style Fashion Week LA at Vibiana's in Downtown LA. Yes, kids, in case you did not know, it is LA Fashion Week Fall 2011, and there are several events/venues going on around town showcasing Los Angeles Fashion, its Designers and LA Style. My friend, Arturo D. Chavez styled the entire show and he was kind enough to put me on the list to attend---and support the fashions and see his fabulous styling work. Stop Staring! is an LA-based clothing company headed by "Vintage Vixen", Designer Alicia Estrada, and is known for its sexy Vintage-inspired cocktail dresses, with very fitted 1940's and 1950's shapes, inspired by "Pin Up" and Rockabilly.
Stop Staring! has been in business for over ten years and has grown a cult-like status with all the Diva Pin-Up and Rockabilly girls as well as A-List celebs such as Eva Mendes, Kim Kardashian and some of the "Twilight" girls. I hear the dresses are affordable AND they make them up to size 18: Hello!
LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's Commissioner of the Board of Public Works--and LA Fashion Champion!--Cynthia Ruiz, is a big fan of the clothing line, if not their "Muse". Every time I was at an LA event--and she was there-- I always wondered whose dresses she was wearing because: A) She always looked so good; and B) they always fit perfectly! No surprise, they were Stop Staring! Well, naturally, Cynthia was there last night, introducing the fashion show and featuring a fitted black and red number that looked divine! I also ran into Designer Maggie Barry (above) who, as always, was working her look! Loving those gold leather winged high-tops! The Fashion:
And Finally...Yes, that's me--with the Madame Tussaud's wax figure of Lady Gaga. She was there on display at Vibiana's Style Fashion Week LA, don't know why but YOU KNOW I had to get a photo next to her...I mean, it...I think... Happy LA Fashion Week!
