style council: Like Father Like Son

There were a lot of similarities between Yanuk and Taverniti So Jeans. I guess they are cut from the same cloth (ooh, sorry). The father and son designers both featured denim corsets and dresses, though Taverniti went full Girls Just Want to Have Fun with crenoline under his corseted dresses. But the overall vibe was military-esque—badges, shields, berets, and bobby hats. There was a touch of Sweet Child of Mine with the addition of plaid. And again the over all color palette besides touches of army green was charcoal and ashes. I heard a snooty Italian couple behind me talking after the show, "LA FAshion is either very good or very bad," snooty woman said. "You call that fashion?" her dapper companion responded. Jeans are jeans, it's not reinventing the wheel, but denim really is the fabric of LA, and with the new stretchy skinny jeans making a comeback, I'd say we all just got a little more comfortable. I'll pair mine with a bright tee though, no chim chimney chim chim cheroo for me... oh and you'd have a better photo than the big ass head in the way to look at if I wasn't in the second row...
