13 L.A. Fashion Week Looks That Are Hollywood-Approved
L.A. Fashion Week was all about three very Hollywood-appropriate themes: commercialism, drama, and sex. Although the clothes never reached the level of innovation and sophistication that we saw in Paris or New York, they were either absolutely wearable or shamelessly seductive. Still, on a couture level, the designs left a lot to be desired; many of the shows were a bit seen-before or just plain boring. But when designers got it right — whether through vying to be the next It Oscar gown or capturing the attention of Silver Lake hipster — it was all so Los Angeles.

Andre Soriano
Punk at heart, but need to attend a black-tie event? Wear a dress so large that it's very existence is a middle finger to the Establishment.

Ashton Michael
Daring hot pants and a hood over the eyes basically embodies the overexposed/super-private dichotomy of the Hollywood celebrity.

Jen Awad
Yes, it's shiny and a little bit tacky, but that yellow dress is so "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days," and for that, we love it.

That's Totally Fine
This collection was a little bit '90s and a little bit all things see-through, but the most notable element was those Gaga/grunge shoes.

The Bohemian Society
Forget about skintight strapless numbers; this is what we want to see on the red carpet.

Gorgeous neckline, gorgeous color, and the best lipstick hue we've seen yet for spring.
