Fashion Week San Diego: Runway Show Day 3 Recap, Part 1

DSC02989 (2) (1280x1280)Princess of Punk, designer Zandra Rhodes (whose studio is in Del Mar), was present at Fashion Week San Diego.  Very exciting!

Because of the heavy amount of pictures for day three of runway shows for Fashion Week San Diego, I’ll split the posts again into two parts.  While I definitely had favorites from each designer’s collections, I did have favorite overall designers.  Part one will again include my favorite designers of the evening, and I will post the rest of the designers on either Friday or Saturday (depending on how long it will take to edit the pictures).  I will close my coverage of #FWSD on Monday with a post about the trunk show.  Enjoy!

I loved the model on the left.  She WERKED it on the runway!  The patterns on dresses in this collection are also available on wrapping paper and stationery.  A’doreus designer Sharlene Estrella Borromeo (on the right in black) currently works for Zandra Rhodes, and is also grew up with some of my cousins.  I hope I can chat with her more in the future.

These designs closed the show, and in such a fun way, because the models danced and shimmied down the runway.  The dresses were not only so pretty, but each piece had exquisite detailing.  Loved this collection!
