lamixx + me

a couple weeks ago i had the privilege of styling the LAMIXX show at project Ethos. along with owner/designer jacqueline rose, we grabbed pieces from her past and present collections to put together a total of ten looks that represented the essence of the brand – classic with an edge, comfy and flattering, beautiful and timeless.<br /><br />the show was a success. and among the dozen of other designers showcasing at Project Ethos, (without bias), LAMIXX was definitely the best in show.<br /><br />below are a few photos from the show + behind-the-scenes snaps i took.<br />to view/purchase the full LAMIXX collection, click <a href="http://lamixx.blogspot.com/">here.</a><br /><br /><br /><i>CONCEPT -- BECAUSE LAMIXX IS SIMPLE AND SO EASY TO LAYER, WE DECIDED TO PILE ON PIECES THAT WOULD BUILD TEXTURE, DEPTH, AND DIFFERENT LENGTHS. I ALSO ADDED A THICK BLACK HEADBAND ON ALL THE GIRLS TO TIE IN ALL THE LOOKS. THE GREAT THING ABOUT LAMIXX IS THAT NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR CLOSET, LAMIXX WILL FIT INTO YOUR WARDROBE. </i><br /><i><br /></i><br /><i><br /></i><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
