L.A. Fashism Weak
After all of the legit Fashism Weeks have come and gone, it’s our turn here in the sartorial hinterland that is L.A to hold our own. Not to knock my adopted hometown, but in terms of producing real local talent, we’ve got a long way to go. Here are some hints of promise from the West Coast runways thus far:
Relative newcomer Jenny Han showed some fun Gatsbyesque frippery, while Grant Krajecki’s Grey Ant (my fave local label) sent models down the catwalk of all shapes, sizes, colors, and ages.
No wonder all the kids love Grey Ant–it’s progressive, fashion-forward, and just a touch outré.
But the greatest surprise to emerge from the L.A. cattywalk has been our favorite Nuddhist Bai Ling…clothed!…who walked for the unparalleled Yves Castaldi (actually, never heard of him). Somebody hook this girl up with Miss J from America’s Next Top Model to teach her lumbering self how to work.
Why the long face, Bai?
My theory? Covering up her teats makes her sad.
