Fashion Show | December 18 | FRESH Cafe Warehouse

Add ImageDifferent from the BillieYoung stuff, Matt Bruening things are a little more...complex. Inspired by rock curvetures; that thin median between hard and soft where a structural pieces like rock can still have a gentle appearance. Basically driving pass Makapu'u / Cockroach Cove area with all the rocks and swirly walls alongside the roads, and all the concave formations really caught my eye just driving thru the other week and thought that would be a good interpretation of what I feel right now. Weaves/CrossHatching signature MB steeze is making that comeback.

I couldn't decide what "season" to design for, so basically I'm bring that "you have to live in Hawaii to know" that kind of steeze into this. So I am basically trying to design for that season between fall AND spring. (aka Hawaii year long summer; but with pieces for those occassional cold nights.)

All this and more happening December 18th, at the Fresh Cafe Warehouse. Performances by The JumpOffs, The Deadbeats, and The Girlfriends will rock the house. And DJ Eskae (of Nocturnal Sound Crew) and DJ Nicky Savage of LA will be spinning the night away. And EVERYONE is invited. And when I say everyone, I mean your little sister and your Grandma Annie can come on DOWN! (Party brought to you by SuperCW, Ground Up Pirates, Ground Up Agency, and Fresh Cafe [located: 831 Queens St.])

In other news:My garments and new stuff will be available for purchase in the new Acid Dolls store, located at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. Cindy King, designer of Acid Dolls, also approached me about an exclusive Acid Dolls by Matt Bruening line, where one-of-a-kind pieces will be sold exclusively at her store ONLY. Excited? More like FxCKIN stoked! The Grand Opening party for the new Acid Dolls store happens December 11. PARTY TIME.

Billie Young S/S '10 inspiration board


ctrl + click above image.

so i think i'm narrowing it down to simplicity -- overall.
i feel like investing in great, quality pieces is what it's all about.
theme: urban bliss | peaceful, edgy downtown flare. ; simple instincts: basic silhouettes with modern cuts and colors (prints...?) an everyday wardrobe that doesn't look too everyday....

minimalist attempts. tame-exaggerated silhouettes. SIMPLE.
separates.
colors -- transitional friendly (magenta, teal, champagne/gold, black, grey, oatmeal, white)
inspired to the fullest. new new new coming soon soon soon.

i got a secret to reveal too. no i'm not pregnant. that wouldn't be cool....AT ALL.
fashion secrets. to say the least....that's it i'm shutting my mouth. more news on the waaaaaay.

adieu.
