SKINGRAFT RTW Spring 2010

Tuesday, October 13, was a stormy night in downtown Los Angeles. Outside The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA, the sky was filled with dark clouds and rain was pouring, David Guetta "Sexy Chick" was blasting from speakers and a crowd mostly dressed in black was waiting to see the event of the night, SKINGRAF’s Spring 2010 collection.

Inside the art of Bagio Black was on display along with the photography of August Bradley. Glam Palm stylists were transforming frizzy hair into sleek, straight, shiny manes.Pretty Coke promo girls dressed in simple red sequin dresses were passing out Coke and Coke zero to attendees. Honest Tea and Jarritos also took part of the experiential marketing experience.

The runway show was kicked off by a dance number performed by four dancers. For Spring 2010 SKINGRAFT was inspired by post-morterm Amelia Earhart and images of birds in flight. The show featured shearling bomber jackets, jodhpur pants (fitted legs and blooming at the hips),feathered silk blouses. Feminine dresses with ruffles skirts and their signature leather-armor bodices.

One half of SKINGRAFT at the end of the show, Bravo! Great show!

All the models walking the runway at the end of the show.

That dress was truly the "it" piece of the show.

The studding details was sublime.

Ruffles, made these looks more feminine and pretty.

Yes, there's a bird on her shoulder.

Ruffles gave this dress a very delicate girly feel.
