Project Ethos and Downtown Los Angeles Art Walk will merge Thursday, October 11th, 2012 from 7pm-2am for LA Fashion Week. Premier event venue Exchange LA (618 South Spring St. LA, CA 90014) will feature Project Ethos’ signature runway showcase by emerging designers, a live performance, multiple DJs, and a sprawling art experience in the downstairs gallery. Sponsors include The Fashion Law Group, model hair and make-up styling by TNT Agency and Scion who will exhibit a new addition to their line-up, the 2013 FR-S Sports Car.

Emerging designer fashion shows will be at 9:30pm and 10:30pm featuring the designs of Jose Galeana (Galean Designs), Jennifer Krischer (Linden), Felicia Barth-Aasen (Collective 26), Claudia Gonzalez Pruitt (Beso Moda), Andre Myers (Nine Menswear), B. by Aperire, Marialia Pacitto (Marialia), Lawren Michele Cappelletti (Lawren Michele) and Kiki Hasija (ARIA by Kiki Resort Wear).

The rotund main room will host a live performance by Icelandic pop group The Charlies at 10pm with DJ sets throughout the evening. A dynamic combination of art will be displayed in the gallery downstairs throughout the night featuring live painting and a pop up gallery with Tanina Jackson, INDEPTH, Max Neutra, Mark Jacobs, James Rhodimer and Amy Baca López.

At 11pm electro-club duo Oliver will start off the “Synthesis” after party complete with fashion shows, live performances, special guests and a DJ set at midnight from Caroline D’amore to continue the LA Fashion Week celebration. Preserved in its original art deco from its time as the LA Stock Exchange, this historic club and event space at Artwalk will experience a rare and exclusive red carpet event.

More details, TBA. For any and all inquiries please email [email protected].

The Carlton Hair Experience

Leave a reply

Last year Project Ethos and Carlton Hair teamed up to provide four lucky winners a complete styling session at a salon with VIP experience at Project Ethos. It was a great time, and we captured it all on film.

2011 was a preview at a look behind the scenes of something cool we did with Carlton Hair. This month, we will be taking it to another level by pulling back the curtains on an entire Project Ethos event. Tune in to ProjectEthos.TV on Monday August 27th for our premier!





Featured Fridays: Caroline D’Amore

That’s a DJ?!

Model/Actress Caroline D’Amore ROCKED the June 19th 2012 Project Ethos after party hosted by JIN&Quinn, turning Avalon into Las Vegas during her quick but memorable set. The second fashion show ended, and D’Amore hit the stage with infectious energy - something that we like to call “magic”.

The crowd was immediately fist pumping to choice dance tracks and following the eye catching DJ’s every move. People even ran up to the stage to snap pictures. This is tough to achieve as an emerging DJ and we give all respect due to something like that. We will definitely try to bring her back, so stay tuned.

Fashion

Want to shop online, but still get the benefit of your local retail store? As in having it the same day? eBay is beta testing “eBay Now” allowing a test market of San Francisco consumers to receive a package hours after they order it. This online retail thing is getting serious.

Music

We looked at Neon Hitch at least a half a dozen times for Project Ethos. Just never worked out. Her brand new single “Gold” features Tyga and is co-written by Bruno Mars. Trippy because Tyga graced our red carpet many times, and Bruno graced our music stage. Small world! What do you think of her new single?

Art

We see Pinterest as an “Art” subject because it allows a person who doesn’t really regard themselves as an artist have some serious creative expression. Using google images and some personal inspiration, some of our friends have really shined. They also sort of became junkies in the process. Now Pinterest made it easier to get hooked unvealing brand new long awaited Android and iPad apps. Happy pinning!

Featured Fridays: Pop Universe

While we work on our upcoming LA Fashion Week event this coming October, we are taking a look back at our “Pop Universe” event at Avalon, October 2008. A special night for us, it was the first time we revealed a white runway, clean stage design that focused on the participants, and a brand spanking new Bardot. Oh yeah, and LMFAO before they were signed with Interscope and flipping Madonna into the air at the Super Bowl.

Designers are playing with ruffles for the Fall. One we like:

Stella McCartney

Light blue tailored cotton shirtdress with a curved pique front panel. Stand up collar leads into a pearlescent button down front. Long sleeves with single button cuffs. Defined seams. Lightly flounced skirt. Unlined.

Music

One word. Humananimal.

Fire In The Hamptons blazes onto the LA Music Scene at House of Blues and other landmark venues across town even getting a spin on KCRW. Watch out for these guys.

Art

Downtown Art Walk is tonight, and we are excited. Past Project Ethos participant and Lab Art favorite Phil Lumbang will showcase his “Awesome Academy” as it takes a look into the “yearbook” of his universe of bear personalities at the Art Walk Lounge.
