Driving on Pacific Highway, I turned into an unlikely spot for a fashion show, Dragonfly Automotive. The venue put a new spin on any fashion event I have yet experienced in San Diego. Then I walked into an underground New York scene. Graffiti paintings covered the walls, posh seating was offered for the VIP, mobiles graced the area, food trucks were present, vendors were on site, and a DJ jammin’. This was definitely unlike any show I had ever seen.
As the show began to start the DJ turned it up and with the fun and sassy flavor of WishNow her models brought life onto the runway. At this point in time, the venue of colorful graffiti was no longer the focus that met our eyes. Victoria Roberts again amazed our vision and welcomed our minds into her full storybook collection. Her dress creations of good versus evil and all the villains and princesses that lie in our childhood memories were brought to life on the runway.
Oseas Villatoro offered the finale of 35 outfits, from pants to dresses with amazing trains and these incredible, blooming floral prints. Every outfit that walked down the runway made a statement. Crop tops with bold patterns of black and white, pops of lime green and turquoise, brilliant prints with palm trees in black on a white canvas totally brought a Beverly Hills glam to completely modern pieces. The final look to grace the runway was a beautiful full-trained white skirt with a cropped quarter sleeve floral top and an amazing bike helmet head dress with flowers protruding out the front and the models hair flowing out the top. It was stunning.
It was a beautiful night: short, simple, sweet, and to the point. Fashion and artistry complemented each other. During the evening I met some lovely people and was introduced to San Diego’s fashion scene socialites. They attend these events and live for the world of wardrobe design. Then it’s on to the runway: critiquing and mesmerizing with an array of styles that each uniquely creates.
My congratulations to those who created an evening extravaganza: the WishNow team, Chayna Bessette and Jen Petrini.
