I’m quickly recapping part one of the day two runway shows from Fashion Week San Diego by featuring two of my favorite designers of that night: Diestra, and the winning designer of #FWSD 2013, RHCREATION. Both were extreme opposites of each other with their color palettes. Diestra presented a wonderful black and white collection, while RHCREATION’s designs were bursting with color. Not only did I love the structure of Diestra’s clothing, but their musically bold graphics really made my retro-lovin’ heart skip a beat. But my breath was taken away by the lovely bold colors, beautiful prints and flowing fabrics of RHCREATION. As the winning designers of #FWSD, RHCREATION won a very impressive business package, which included designing a pair of shoes for Naughty Monkey (based in San Diego, by the way) for their runway show that could possibly go into production, and a trip to ModCloth, who will review their line to possibly include in a future production. SO exciting!
My fellow bloggers and I had much better seats for this night of runway shows, which allowed me to capture all of the fashions for the night without obstruction. In addition to the runway pictures, I’ve got some random shots of the night, such as my outfit picture with Vanessa of Fashion Mixtape. I also included a couple of pictures of the Doggie Fashion Show with #FWSD’s director and founder, Allison Andrews. Stay tuned next week for part two of day two of the #FWSD runway shows, which will include the rest of the designers presented that night. Have a great weekend!
Diestra Brand’s graphics. How fantastic are the cassette tape and turntable images?
My favorite looks of the night by Diestra. That white babydoll dress is to die for!

The yellow of the second dress was stunning in person.
These prints were so gorgeous.

Cute doggies for adoption! Allison Andrews of FWSD is in the second picture.
This is Marty Ornish, and she is a local clothing designer, specializing in upcycling (her website is www.marty-o.com). I just had to take pictures of this fab coat. I think I’m going to have her do up one of my old denim jackets!
I don’t think I’ve seen a collection of this many fab shoes all in one spot like this, unless I was shopping!
