I always enjoy seeing how LA designer
Mike Vensel channels his history, experiences, and passions through his collections. Vensel's Fall/Winter 2014 collection, 'NOTHING', was 'inspired by his childhood as a skateboarder in the 80s and 90s. Skateboarding provided one of his first creative outlets and allowed him to explore concepts with style and originality'. This collection definitely represented Vensel's rebellious independent spirit; the models donned form fitting dresses with oversized but crisp jackets or coats as well as a stand-out plaid print in the form of dresses and trim elements, all looking 'too cool' with the undertone of grunge chic style. This collection also 'take a look back at many of the previous collections in a re formulation of old ideas mixed with new stylings in a more fun and less serious take on the brand'.
