MB Fashion Week: Day 3: Christian Audigier

As if purchasing a billboard size poster of his portrait hanging on a building 2 blocks from Smashbox Studios was not outlandish enough, Christian Audigier's runway was covered in astro-turf most in an attempt to resemble a stroll in rockstar fantasy land perhaps. In a word...tacky. More descriptive would be if Slash and High School Musical were to have a child, that child would resemble this show. Models would walk out in over-the-top looks with neon green top-hats, huge American flags, or real English dogs on leashes. While the use of the red plaid was kind of fun and edgy, it was overdone in that every ensemble used the same plaid material. It is no wonder that LA Fashion Week does not receive the same media attention that the others do, this designer was actually permitted to show two collections this week. The only piece that was marketable for me was a black hoodie that was covered in sequins. Mostly, it was just plaid for the whole collection...moving on!
