L’Une at Style Fashion Week

On Wednesday I was back at Vibiana to see L’Une’s presentation of the Breakable Collection, which was inspired by designer AnhVolcek’s upcoming surgery. Through these creations she explored the unveiling and the opening of the body through draping and sea urchin like embellishments were incorporated to represent protection.

Love L’Une

It’s good to start the New Year off with something shiny and pretty like this spectacular necklace from L’Une’s Fall 2012 “Breakable” collection.

Two Point Oh! LA Cocktail reception at L.A. Fashion Market

Two Point Oh! LA and LA Fashion District hosted an opening night cocktail party to celebrate the beginning of Market Week. Held in the lobby of the California Market Center it was a fun event featuring wine from Frey Vineyards and delicious Hpnotiq Harmonie cocktails. If you’re a fan of Hpnotiq Liqueur you’ll love Harmonie’s blend of French vodka, infused natural fruits, flowers, and a touch of cognac. There was also food, cupcakes, hip tunes courtesy of DJ Mahli and, of course, lots of stylish individuals, including fellow Two Point Oh! LA bloggers Hillary (Cake Not Coke) and Gina (Fashioned Out).

CONCEPT Fashion Week Fall 2011 - Saturday, March 12th

I specifically stopped by CONCEPT on Saturday to see and support Anh Volcek - designer extraordinaire behind L’une. I meet and fell in love with Anh’s designs last October. It’s hard to believe that someone so sweet and animated could be inspired by pain. Her Fall/Winter 2011/12 collection is titled ‘From Water to Ice’ with water representing her birth at sea while her family was escaping the war in Vietnam and Ice representing the pain she endured from being abducted at the age of 8 for a year. It has been said that beauty is spawned from personal tragedy and in Anh’s case it lead her to design a very stunning collection. The line centered upon Asian and military influences and featured a contrast of textures. On display was a really cool cocktail dress made from melted plastic– a technique Anh learned while working in Paris. I was very impressed with this collection. I have to say, Anh is very talented.
