Fashion Cited: Part 3 -- The designers

                                                                                             Designer Cathy Garcia

I chose this design of Cathy's as my favorite because it's very young and modern. I love that she took a 90's style bandana print halter and turned it into a quirky mini dress with bubble style skirt.

                                                                                            Designer Morgan Powell

 I was so excited when I saw this outfit. This is absolutely something that could walk right off the runway and be perfect for day! The cut of the trousers is really beautiful and the cropped style makes them so fresh. Definitely a statement outfit. So sweet and youthful, but still modern and chic.

                                                                                            Designer Anthony Muelle
Hueso Outlaw Designs
I chose to share two designs from the Hueso Outlaw's runway pieces to display the variation in design and print. I especially like the usage of contrasting piping that accentuates the bone snaps down the fronts.

This is such a cool dress. Although it is vintage, it's still a very relevant piece today by the creative color blocking, asymmetry, and contrasting fabrics. Combining a classic silhouette with unexpected details, such as the single sleeve, helps the transition from one style era to another.

I love this two piece by Ladaska Mechelle. The combination of a bandeaux top and a vintage inspired bottom makes this a very on trend piece for summer 2013!

This elaborate feather and crystal encrusted headpiece was an extraordinary addition to this glamorous gown.

As I said earlier, I love the look of white trousers, so I was definitely a fan of this almost resort style collection. There were so many chic pieces it was hard to choose just one. The addition of the contrasting scarf pulls this outfit together completely.

This outfit to me is a high fashion twist on the column dress. This was so beautiful when it moved -- being able to see each detail of fringe on the skirt move as she walked was exquisite.

My favorite thing about this dress is the feeling of constant movement through the cut-outs, to the intricate piping, and ending off at the tail. Definitely a sophisticated piece worthy of the red carpet.
                                                                                                   Brooks Brothers

I simply love the spring layering in this outfit. The multiple colors and prints used add a great deal of interest and personality to this ensemble.
                                                                                                              Bladi Duran

Reminiscent of a gown you might have seen by the late Alexander Mcqueen, designer Bladi Duran created a masterpiece with this exposed spine dress. I love the way that the "scale" design almost appears like puzzle pieces slowly falling away.
                                                                                                               Solodky

What better way to end a runway show than with some glamor? This elaborate rose and crystal ballgown by Richard Solodky was a heart stopping finale piece! Intricate roses adorned this gown from top to bottom. The crystal waist, detailed with a gorgeous bow, added just enough "fit" to make this dress the complete package!

I hope you enjoyed this series of articles on the wonderful Fashion Cited 2013 event as much as I did! There was so much beauty shown at this event, I wish I could have had the time to talk about every single piece. Since I didn't cover every design in the runway show, please feel free to view all of the photographs from the show on Thomas Garza Photography.

Thank you to everyone who did so much work for this show and allowed me to be a part of it. Special Thanks to Thomas Garza for the fantastic pictures from the show!
