Your Inside Guide to Fall Fashion-

Your inside guide to Fall Fashion from some of the biggest names in the fashion world as featured in Mercedes Benz Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios- Los Angeles by Ed Kavishe Fashion photography Imajin Studios & Management.
Collection Bebe
Bebe Collection mixed opposites together-military inspired styling with lots of peace symbols, all of which were black and white (same as last season), army green, with a little camouflage print thrown in
Black knee high boots and coats gave some of the looks an eastern european military feel. The mini-dresses were a big hit. The peace sign showed up printed on accesories and also in the form of black lines on a floor-lenght white dress that only looked like a peace sign when the model pulled the full skirt up on either side.
Celebrities in hand included Supermodel and actress Rebecca Romjin, designer Tarina Tarantino and Heidi Klum



Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier
Designer Christian Audigier showcased his Ed Hardy line with the circus inspiration for his "Love Kills Slowly" collection, and his signature line "Christian Audigier"
The result was a candy-colored assortment of sweat pants, T-shirts, hoodies and leather jackets decked out with classic tattoo designs based on the flash artwork of veteran tattoo artist Don Ed Hardy.
"This is for modern teenagers" Audigier said in his thick French Accent before the show." Its more a lifestyle that clothes: the colors, the tattoos, the street, the bling-bling. I love it"
Lond cardigan sweaters for women were worn belted as mini dresses over checkered leggings, and a red mens sweater included fiery tattoo sleeves. Hip-length hoodies embroidered with daggers and eagles were shown alongside T-shirts emblazed with rhinestone skull and crossbones designs.
Celebrities in attendance included Adult movie star Janine, Janice Dickenson, Dennis Rodman, John Saly, Kim Kardashian (also featured in the show)actor Vinny Jones(also featured in the show)Nick Canon,Eric Bennet and daughter India Bennet



Kevan Hall (please note its not a misspelling its Kevan and not Kevin)
Kevan Hall looked ready for take off with the next flight, using an airport runway motif on the models runway. He said "This is a collection for the busy woman of the urban jetsetter with a busy lifestyle. If this woman goes on a trip, she needs to bring an anthracite wool jumpsuit with black double face reversible cashmere metropilitan coat or a onyx wool triangle cut out dress.
He said they should also pack an emerald silk chiffon halter dress or a malachite diamond tulle corset gown with with a tulle skirt,though we doubt that would fit in a carry-on. Also prominent were lots of Chantilly-lace gowns with rhinestone sparkling details as well as short baby doll dresses and tunics made of silk.
Kevan was greated to a standing ovation upon appearance at the end of the show, the first time ever in LA Fashion Week



Monarchy Collection by Eric Kim
Eric Kim offered a study in contrasts which evoked an English Gentleman who moonlights as a fighter pilot. Even before the first model stepped on the runway strewn with soil and gold glitter, Dustin Hoffman, Jeremy Piven, Joana Kruppa and other guests got a hint of his dichotomy when a confession was read over the speakers describing Monarchy's goal to be more that a "prententious brand." For the most part, Kim was successful with his knackk of tailoring California-style. He layered a tan leather carcoat that appeared as if it had been dragged through the streets over a navy pinstripe vest, distressed straight-leg jeans for a vintage look, cut belted peacoats out of rugged canvas and knitted a brown cashmere sweater so that the argyle pattern showed only on the back.
Kim also maintained Monarchy's signature raw edge by shredding some jeans, back flap pocketss and using an acid wash for a hoodie. The strongest pieces were the well-constructed leather jackets, one of which was adorned with studs along the back shoulder yoke." In today's mans closet, its very eclectic, " Kim said

Ed Hardy, because all of those Von Dutch douche bags needed something new to latch on to.
