The last show we could bear to sit through at LAFW was Maxine Dillon. At this point in the evening we were tired, and basically over everything. Plus, we had the alcohol munchies. Dillon used lots of bright prints, but started with darker hues. I figured out at the finale that she was moving from darker to lighter, but was confused about how diverse the looks were during the show. Overall the clothes were fun and wearable, but the green blue fabric prints were not a favorite. I would never wear those, but could see how it could work on someone else.
Here's a few pics from the finale, notice the color differences. More pics on Racked LA.
After this we nabbed a few more Coke Zeros (free soda, but not water) and left. The entry way had been taken over by way too cool teenagers who were yelping about finding hott guys. It was a very obnoxious crowd who were just there for the after-party and could care less about fashion. Obviously, there was some Not So Pretty-ness going on.
Although, I wish we would've caught the Li Cari show her collection looks quite mature for the designers young age. I like that it's not screaming "look at me." However, everyone will be looking or rather watching Jazmine Whitley of Li Cari on an upcoming MTV show. More photos of Li Cari on Blogdowntown.

Finally a review that hints at what I thought of this collection! It was a collection that spoke of pedestrian style (read JC Penny in a dimly light mall) with a complete lack of cohesiveness. I read some other article touting this as a prime example of LA fashion, but I really think it serves the most opposite purpose. There's no point of view, just a steaming mess of things we've already seen but not done as well, hiding under a mishmash of unflattering color palettes and patterns. No, thanks.
You can tell from our pic that we had a few overpriced cocktails in us. During our live Tweet of the show, I wrote "Maxine Dillon? More like Maxine DILLARD's!!" I was so proud of that joke, and no one said anything back.
