The Art and Fashion Collide event took place on Thursday October 18, 2012 at the Andaz San Diego. A display of contemporary abstract art from artist Heidi Thompson was presented by art dealer Alexander Salazar in the Andaz’ Ivy Wine Bar . Following the art show, guests were invited down to the Ivy Nightclub where a runway show took place. The fashion portion of the evening showcased designs from local menswear designer Maceoo.
This was my first experience with a fashion show featuring menswear. I must say that what I most enjoyed was the use of Maceoo menswear as stylish pieces for the ladies! Once you see the women in the video you will know exactly what I mean. The stylists cleverly fashioned a Maceoo shirt into a dress. Perhaps I should purchase a Maceoo shirt for my husband! He will never get to wear it once I figure out how to use it as a dress! Take a moment to enjoy our video coverage from the evening. Video created by Gerald Labrador Video for LifebyCynthia.com. Enjoy!
After the fashion show I had a chance to chat with San Diego Style Bloggers Paulina & Rachel. Mehdi Raad, designer of Maceoo, took a moment to tell us a little more about his brand.
