 Kevan Hall makes LA Fashion Week void
The bad economy and no official Mercedes-Benz L.A. Fashion Week could not get Kevan Hall down on Thursday since seven hundred women gathered to take glance at his lustrous, spy heroine-inspired fall collection.
Instead of unusual outfits, denim or drunken hipsters, the audience at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel consisted of actresses and healthy ladies, including a stunning seventy-five year old Joan Collins.
Although former first lady Nancy Reagan, the honorary chairwoman of the luncheon, was not present the collection showcased sheaths suitable of first lady Michelle Obama , along with structured dresses in tweed and wool. Also Kevan Hall's classic red carpet creations in earthy shades of ruby, bronze and brown caught attention.
Hall said, "I was inspired by the spy, heroines Emma Peel and Honey West, all those fabulous girls that influenced American fashion," "There's a restrained elegance, with the economy."
Well constructed trench coats, belted pencil skirts and stunning black wool A-line dress with zippers covering up the sides came first, nicely blended in with cheetah jersey dresses accented with leather or fur.
Other exclusive dresses included a cowl-necked metallic bronze sheath made out of matelasse quilted fabric and also two back-to-back blood red gowns that includes one in silk chiffon with a one-shouldered sash, and one strapless with an asymmetrical, geometric neckline.
Hall is also making debut a more day-centric, non couture line for Paul Stanley this year, with pieces "at a contemporary price point, for the working wealthy".
The former Halston lead designer had been a mainstay at Mercedes-Benz L.A. Fashion Week, which ended in the month of October after event organizer IMG and Smashbox Studios split from their five-year partnership.
When asked about the whole event Hall, smilingly said, “I think L.A. Fashion Week will continue." "But this is a different kind of vibe. It's a great setting, beautiful people, shoppers."
