Smashbox Day Three: GREY ANT RETURNS!!

Linda Immediato
Grey Ant hasn't been seen on an LA runway since 2005. And thank God for its return! It was my favorite show so far this fashion week. It seemed to incorporate the ecological zeitgeist of our post- An Inconvenient Truth lives. It was hippy but through a Japanese filter. It......

Smashbox DAy TWO: The Verdict: Heatherette is Fierce

Linda Immediato
Ok, I've finally gotten out of my Heatherette-induced K-hole. I've had a lot of time to think about what I saw. If you asked me yesterday what I thought of the show, I'd have said it was like someone ate a Jo-ann's Fabric store and threw it up all over......

Smashbox: Day One: Nicky Hilton's Chick

Linda Immediato
A few changes at the tents in Culver City this year, for one no VIP tent, which was a better place to hang out, a little more removed from the lobby sleaze, err, I mean fleas of fashion weeks of yore, and if there wasn't a VIP tent, that meant......

BOXeight: Louis Verdad

Linda Immediato
LOUIS VERDAD Louis Verdad's show didn't really have a theme. There was no through line for the collection, other than all of the pieces being really pretty, flouncy, and decidedly 40's. No one does dainty lady like Verdad. Only problem is, it seems like that's all he's been doing for......

BOXeight: Cosa Nostra

Linda Immediato
(a beaming Jeffery Sebelia after his epic 52-look show at Vibiana) COSA NOSTRA BOXeight festivities were off to a slow start last night. When we arrived at 5:00 p.m. the courtyard of Vibiana was practically empty, bartenders stood idle, a coffee bar sat untouched and by 5:15 most of the......

Every year LA Fashion Week seems to get a little longer. It has been pushed to nearly a month long string of shows and satellite parties.

Happy Trails

Linda Immediato
It was high noon and the horses were saddled up and ready to go. The sun was blistering overhead. My horse was named Hidalgo, after the one Viggo Mortensen rode in the movie based on the tall tale of a real-life 19th-century mustang rider who claimed to have competed in......
