Kevan Hall created a coveted collection of fashion art in its most perfect form. I had the opportunity to interview some of the key players that evening—Gregory Arlt (MAC Makeup), Tod Hallman (runway show producer); and celebrity guests Tammy Farrell (Miss California 2009), and Natasha Henstridge.

Kevan Hall presented his Spring 2010 evening and ready-to-wear collection during Rusnak’s “Night of Luxury” in the grand plaza of Spartacus Square on the Universal Studios Hollywood Backlot, Saturday, October 17, 2009.

Eveline Morel is the owner of EM & Co, and she absolutely loves anything that has to do with fashion and creativity. She hosts local art openings and local fashion shows and supports local talent in whatever they do. She spreads the news. Morel has always lived with fashion, fabrics, and fibers. She learned to knit when she was eight. Her grandmother was a dressmaker and pattern maker who taught dressmaking at one of the local schools.

The model-turned-designer premiered a hippie girl-inspired collection catering to the “physically fit.”

In October, Ash Gupta and Studio 838 covered Downtown LA Fashion Week. Studio 838 photographers Alex Barakat, Thomas Connors, and Gilbert Mojarro shot runway, red carpet, and backstage.

I was really impressed with the people who have helped me. Not to take away anything from Italy, but here in the United States and particularly in Los Angeles, a lot of people are really nice and amazing.

I always found it fascinating when my mother would make me a dress from a pattern and watch it materialize. But to imagine a child of nine creating an outfit from scratch, and bringing it into being, that is a sight to behold.

I sketch, and every time I go back to Thailand, I get a chance to look at the stone market or the suppliers affiliated with my family diamond business. From there I can see if there are any stones that can fit what I’ve sketched. I will literally make at least one piece myself, and then I have a little team make a couple of the pieces.
