On Thursday, June 28, 2012, Mikey Koffman, Producer of LA Fashion Weekend from The Gallery Los Angeles hosted Fashion Splash, a Cocktail Reception, Runway Show at The Standard Hotel located at 8300 Sunset Boulevard in the City of West Hollywood, California 90069.
The affair featured everything from cocktail drinks, pictures taken by members of the media, and a teaser showing of models displaying swimsuits by designers Éclat Swimwear, Culture Swimwear, and Maui and Sons.
The main attraction was the designers such as, Éclat Swimwear that set the stage with shiny shimmering solid colors arranging from red, blue and white. While, Culture Swimwear designs showcase a Swirl of colors, consisting of browns, red, orange, black and white. Maui and Sons made it a fun beach look with tee shirts, sunglasses and surfboards, combined with swimwear. During the fashion show run way the music was played by D.J. Niko Achtipes.
Actor/Co-Producer, Vincent De Paul (Hairspray – 1988) was among the guests. The guests were seated in front of the runway overlooking the pool.
The poolside fashion show theme was a great way to show off latest swimwear. Laughter and clamps by the guest really showcase that the guests really enjoyed and appreciated all the hard work contributed to put a fashion show.
Some of the event sponsors were Aubrey Loots (Wella Professionals), Rebecca Prior (Napoleon Perdis), Little Black Dress, Diabolo, The Standard Hotel and many more that made it possible.
