Behind The Scenes With Violet Luck

I met Jurate Luckaite and her sister Violet Luckaite at the LA Fashion Weekend Wrap Party back in November. I complimented them on their beautiful clothing and was impressed when they told me they designed it. Of course I had to find out more. 

These two talented sisters create one-of-a-kind artistic clothing under the Violet Luck moniker. Their luxurious, hand painted silk masterpieces can be worn or enjoyed as framed wall art.  

BM: How did you get your start in Fashion?

For as long as I remember I always had a desire to be in a world of high end fashion. I was always wearing unique pieces, always stood out with my style, could put colors and clothes together in no time, and eventually became a fashion stylist and a makeup artist while my sister was always into arts. However, everything started with a decoupaged hand bag, a hand painted silk scarf, and hand painted boots that my talented sister Violet created for my 30^th birthday.

LAFW SS2013 Wrap Party

The delightful Mikey Koffman and her wonderful crew at The Gallery LA were kind enough to host a wrap party as a “Thank you” to all the sponsors, designers, and fashionable guests who attended LA Fashion Weekend’s SS2013 showcase.

The event was held in the patio area at the Xen Lounge in Studio City. Between the tarp and the killer tunes you wouldn’t have known it was raining outside. The lovely make-up artists from Napoleon Perdis were on site to apply touch-ups for anyone that wanted to enhance their look for the evening. I was happy to see that one of the gals was also a part of the Beats For Boobs make-up team. We discussed how a make-up artist is an artist. Your face is their canvas, and they can transform you into something beautiful or hideous - in the case of special effects make-up, which my sister, Rose Lopez, specializes in.
