Day 2 of OC Fashion Week, Sugar Rush Autumn/Winter 2015 on Saturday February 28th brought together guests and fashion and style makers at the Newport Lexus dealership to experience a line up of designers showcasing swimwear, evening dresses, and accessories including friends What a Betty, Salt Shoes (I unfortunately didn't snap any pics of the designs but you can see the shoes in the video below), and fellow blogger Kimberly Luu's designs. I was excited to get to discover other designers ranging from bikinis by Brit B Beach Candy and Manoni Handbags to Victoria by Elizabeth pencil skirts and dresses by Claire Farwell. I was also very excited to not only catch up with good blogger friends but also meet new bloggers, it's such a small but growing community in Orange County! The space was very vast and beautiful and completely a full house, but I felt that the designers could have been showcased a bit more; perhaps feature accessory designers through a live installation or presentation instead of a runway show, that way guests can take a longer and detailed look at each piece. There's a little bit of an inconsistency with the models (height) so it was just very noticeable for me and I feel it takes away from the overall aesthetic of a designer's collection. There were also some very interesting runway walks, but at least the models 'owned' their walk and tried to make it fierce (although I must admit that some 'walks' were distracting and took away from the designs being presented). All in all an interesting evening for OC fashion, but I'm happy to be able to support fellow designer friends.
