All the cutesters were out. Marvins superstar manager Sheldon served in his classic (guy from hitchhikers guide) meets Afro-Punk look. Wearing Italian shoes, Black slim pants ala Mick Jagger, fitted Button down, a classic wine colored Cravat, Woody Allen frames, a leather(esque?) trench, all topped off with his fabulous forward sloping Mohawk. J'adore!
The other fashion story of the night belongs to thingstring.com. Created by artist/ magician David London ( sounds famous right), thingstring is style-next up. Wanna make your American Apparel sweat shirt hit the edge? Take a spool of contrasting colored thread unwind and randomly place it anywhere you like. Shocking! Im not joking. Its a conversation piece for the age of randomness. I have never laughed more than the time I first encountered the trend on Ayo ( Co owner of Gallery on Hst.) I walked up to him and said "Let me get this" , yanked it off as he yelled " No, that is my string!" I was down with his eccentricity but a pet string was pyschtacular. He remedied this quickly by unspooling some thread he had in his pocket and thus annointed me into the thingstring circle. That incident was at least a year ago. Meeting the creator of thingstring was like finding out there was a toothfairy ( only less bloody).
The Look of the Night
Belongs to none other than Dj Selina. She is the most fabulous woman I know ( Sorry Yall). On this night in particular she used her unique sense of proportion and color scheming to create a one woman art show. Flat eighties boots, led up to thick knit leggings, underneath a chalk white pencil skirt w/ Day-Glo pink piping, belted with a thin plastic hot pink piece, paired with a purple and black asymmetrical boat collared long sleeve tee, accented by a zipper across her breast plate, layered over a Day-Glo green tank, all accessorized by her turquoise earmuffs which she wrapped around her wrist! I hate her!
There were many looks to be seen but only one winner.
The Party was a blast. I always have fun with my gurls. I love you all!
