Yours truly attended the Hope In The City Mosaic’s 3rd Annual benefit Gallery Event and Fashion Show last night at the Vibiana in downtown Los Angeles. The theme for the night Hope In The City: Wear Your Story.
Designers from various background were invited to take part in the experimental section where designs were made out of at leat 85% paper. My two favorite from the “experimental paper” section where a group of students from Crenshaw High School and Sherise L. Shields. The designer showcase included Shpetim Zero, Rey Aquino, Adolfo Sanchez, and head pieces by Salvatore Salamone. Check the pics!
