I'm taking some time off and rethinking the aeroandco.com website. In the meantime I'll be hitting a few events during what's left of LA Fashion Week. (Actually there's more going on than what I anticipated.) I'll do my best to post something interesting about this upcoming week. Tonight it's Geoffrey Mac at the Skybar Hollywood hosted by 944 and the Gen Art Foundation which seems to have risen from the ashes from it's recent implosion. Hope to find out more on that tonight and to see who this Geoffrey Mac person is.

Octopi

2009-09-24T18:02:00.001-07:00

One of my favorite things about Octopi from Brooklyn is their inspiring knack for mixing textural fabrics. This Capelet Mini Dress $575 uses mocha crocodile embroidered silk with white laminate embossed lizard back (shown here in grey) and black wool knit body.
Another one of my favorite features of the Octopi line is their use of volume, shape and unconventional style lines. This Scarf Top $275 available in black hammered silk (shown here in a chunky wool knit) has subtly shaped shoulders and sleeves which make the shape effortlessly chic.
