Fashion Week Los Angeles day two was the longest runway show I have ever been to in my damn life! Knights of Columbus! I once read a blog about how fashion shows are boring and un-enjoyable, which I wouldn’t necessarily agree with in most cases but I do believe there is a timeframe… and Tuesday nights FWLA show definitely exceeded that frame, but it was still a good show! Long AF though!
Having a tremendously long show isn’t necessarily a terrible thing, in some senses it’s wonderful because they had sooo many designers to showcase! Look! Art! It’s great for the designers, but also kind of not because we as humans can only collect ourselves to pay attention for so little amounts of time, it can also be a dreadful downfall. People leave, the seats become more and more bare which as a fellow designer crushes my soul for those who worked so hard to present to empty seats. There should have definitely been a day three to break it up a bit, I think they’re still figuring it out and it takes trials and errors as we all know, it’ll get there. Process!
Talia Leilani
Despite the longevity of it all there were some gems in there to find, the first two being two of my absolute fave! Talia Leilani was beautiful, chic yet very simplistic styles and clean lines that were very goddess-like and wonderful. Nickoli August was one of my other favorites, his designs were more Formal/Evening but just absolutely s t u n n i n g, some silhouettes were reminescent of Dior in the way that he utilized femininity, curvature and abundance of fabric.

I wasn’t quite able to photograph all the outfits I wanted (the show was so long my phone died) although I did capture something from each designer, I’m just gonna throw them all at the end of the post for ya’ll to check out. The last day show were the more Elite designers, so wonderful things can be seen and said about them all! Thank you FWLA for allowing me to come through, thank you readers/subscribers for holdin me down! OH the Love!!!! Now on to AFRICA Fashion Week!
