Furne One’s Spring 2012 collection made its way un-chaperoned to Los Angeles at Vibiana during Style Fashion Week LA. That’s right.

Coming back from a hiatus, Gen Art is better than ever with their Fresh New Faces competition. From the attention to details backstage, with dressing, styling, and presenting the models and clothes on the runway to really putting on an exciting and well produced series of runway shows, Gen Art did it well at Vibiana during Style Fashion Week LA. Avatar star Zoe Saldana opened the show and the talented young designers showcased their new designs.

Ina Soltani launched her collection of “siren” evening wear on March 18, 2011, at Vibiana in Downtown LA on the closing night of Style Fashion Week LA. This collection was inspired by the designer’s homeland and its dramatic narratives and artisans’ traditions, and a lot of old Hollywood glamour.
