BritWeek 2010 Designer of the Year & Fashion Show (part 2)

I have just one more post on the Genlux Britweek event that I attended over the weekend! Please bare with me. I basically just want to share a few of my favorite pieces (the ones I managed to capture on my camera, that is) from both of the runway shows and then we will resume our regularly scheduled posts. I promise!

I wasn't completely camera ready when the Alexander McQueen mini-show started but these were a couple of my favorites...

The pink cotton candy hair was pretty genius, I must say. It wasn't a huge showing but apparently some of the pieces had never been shown on a runway before so it was a nice McQueen treat. Bittersweet, of course.

And moving on to Mr. Matthew Williamson (who was there to receive his award by the by. see...)

Matthew showed his SS2010 collection which, as I alluded in my last post, really impressed me this time around. Here are some shots I took - please note it's my first time shooting a fashion show of any kind - it was a bit nerve-wracking trying to snap photos fast enough! I like my tripod and self-timer better I think! Anyhow...

I have to say, these were even more incredible in real life. I had a great time but seeing this in person really makes me want to go to more fashion shows.  In the meantime, I'm still very thankful for style.com!

Genlux BritWeek 2010 Designer of the Year & Fashion Show (part 1)

When I was invited to attend the BritWeek 2010 Designer of the Year Award/Fashion Show at Smashbox Studios I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to start covering more LA fashion events.  This event had the added bonus of being centered on British Designers (which I have a little bit of a thing for).  The event honored Designer Matthew Williamson and included a runway show of his spring 2010 collection (which I loved the first time around and love even more now). The event also included a special tribute fashion show to Alexander McQueen.

Before the show (after I mustered up the courage to ask) I snapped a few of the stylish folks in attendance...

This lovely lady's dress is such a great print - it really stood out

and I loved the little marc jacobs bag.

Nothing like a well-dressed guy in a bow-tie. 

(he wasn't thrilled about being featured on a "blog" but he humored me! thanks!)

 So well accessorized and a lovely color scheme.

two stylish friends, two amazing frocks!

I surprised her by asking to snap a pic but I just loved 

the pops of color she added to this black ensemble.

these statement pants are incredible -

something I wish I could pull off, alas...

I'd forgotten about this marc by marc jacobs heart dress

until I saw this adorable girl sporting it with some fishnets and a cute clutch. love!

thanks to everyone who let me take their photo!
