How M Missoni Brought A Joyous Fashion Celebration To Los Angeles

Here in Los Angeles, we are often on the outside looking in when it comes to fashion week, but more and more often, fashion designers are uprooting their traditional shows in New York, London, Milan, and Paris for exciting outings here on the West Coast. Especially when it’s February, who wouldn’t want to leave the cold weather for sunny Los Angeles?

On Tuesday, February 4th, M Missoni ditched the usual Milan schedule for an exciting outing to Pink’s Hot Dogs on La Brea. Any Angeleno knows what an iconic landmark Pink’s is, and it proved to be the perfect backdrop for M Missoni’s latest collection, appropriately entitled “MMerica”.

The space was decked out in all things Missoni; every aspect, from the walls of the parking lot to the iconic Pink’s sign to the hot dog and French fries containers, were reimagined in Missoni zig-zags and colors, as if Missoni had exploded onto the Pink’s lot in every manner.

And then the fashion itself exploded onto the scene, in the form of a Missoni-branded double-decker sightseeing bus, not unlike the ones littered throughout Sunset and Hollywood Boulevards. Models exited the bus one by one to show off their M Missoni threads, eclectic mixes of printed knitwear and fabrics that evoked feelings of the Venice Beach boardwalk in the 60s and 70s.

Here Are 5 Shows That Stood Out At New York Fashion Week

The Fall/Winter 2020 collections wrapped up in New York this week with a star-studded show from Marc Jacobs that brought out everyone from Nicki Minaj, who sat front-row, to Miley Cyrus, who took the runway by storm. While a handful of fashion’s biggest names were absent from the schedule, the focus was shifted to some emerging designers like 2019’s CFDA /Vogue Fashion Fund winner, Christopher John Rodgers, whose runway show exuded the promise and passion of an exciting new voice in the industry. From Jacobs’ statement as one of the city’s most revered showman designers to a slew of others who made a splash, I rounded up 5 shows that stood out during the week-long fashion festivities.

Making his runway debut since winning the mentorship and cash prize at last year’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, the 26 year-old designer set the tone for a bugenoning career that’s already seen him dressing the likes of Rihanna, Michelle Obama and Tracee Ellis Ross, to name just a few. Expanding on his bold signatures with a new twist, Rogers showed a beautiful array of his dramatic, structural silhouettes in irridescent fabrics, creating an exciting runway experience on par with the designer’s rising star.

The New York-based designer known for her handmade beaded handbags is no stranger to putting on fashion week presentations that defy convention. In an uplifting musical stages at PUBLIC Arts, the brand’s theatrical presentation of the Fall/Winter 2020 collection was noteworthy, to say the least. Featuring a cast that included Hunter Abrams, Benito Skinner, Lauren Servideo, and Richard Perez, Aisha Kerensa, Jessica Joffe, and Larry Owens, the cast sang and performed 4 original scores written by director MUR, that captured the trials and tribulations of being a creative in New York City.
