Jeremy Laing trunk show tonight at Zainab in LA


Check out Style Section LA's piece on the trunk show....
Yes, we've been in a Canadian mood as of late. At L.A. Fashion Week we caught up with Odilon's Stacey Clark, a British Columbia native now living here whose love of horror flicks inspired a Jil Sander-meets-the apocalypse collection. On Thursday night, one of her compatriots is stopping by Zainab Sumu's chic Melrose boutique for the time-honored trunk show experience. We saw Jeremy Laing a few years ago in a W young designer profile, where he was pushed around by Abercrombie-esque models in white shorts in the accompanying photos. But who's laughing now? Laing, who trained at Alexander McQueen, has made his mark in his exquisitie draping prowess, one that somehow comes off as understated and dynamic at the same time. His fabric choices are always innovative: think perforated suede, gauzy crinkle fabric and jacquard that resembles stucco.

A fantastical headpiece

Love it love it love it! Philip Treacy headpiece and Alexander McQueen dress on Sarah Jessica Parker @ the world premier of the Sex & the City film in London. I am happy that she went more with the character of Carrie for this look. McQueen's current collection of feather-adorned silk ombre-dyed dresses is my fantasy.

My friend Laura Kranitz has been creating headpieces with vintage feathers, silk flowers, and the like for the past few years (this is a photo of one of my own Laura Kranitz pieces). Recently featured on Style.com and Daily Candy, She is an amazing up and coming LA-based artist who also designs very unique and intricate jewelry. Check her site for more....LauraKranitz.com
