Sometimes it can be very difficult to know what is in fashion and what is not. Just to be balanced and get an outside perspective, I have included this video by Aleigha, master of all things fashionable. Her perspective is on our very topic, and of course you know the hottest trends are from LA. Clutches, leopard with a twist, as well as dramatic up plays of classics. Her advice is to make sure that your jackets,dresses and shoes have texture. When she mentions this, it reminds me that too "matchy" is not wise. So be sure to mix things up and have fun with it! She included fur as a must this season. This is everywhere!
For the gentlemen: Plaid, stripes and oversized jacket looks are best. Slacks or anything menswear and basic feel is the best for men this Fall. The bright colors are not good alone, but they must be mixed with muted colors.
In other news, local surf clothing designer dies at age 54. Lian Murray recently passed away. This fashion innovator was known for going outside the conventional. This local California native's inspiration helped launch Hurley California clothing enterprise. She was very in tune to what was attractive for her audience: The Pop/surf crowd of Southern California. She went to school at UC San Diego and while in college launched her first clothing line. Her mother had ties to the LA community as a worker for the LA Times. Her sad death is a reminder for those of us in or outside of the fashion world, to realize that life is short. Dreams must be pursued and goals must be taken seriously.
