Paper Dolls Opening Reception: Mitsy Avila Ovalles, "Untitled" SOLD

Last Thursday, the M.I.S.S ladies got on planes and hopped into cars to make our way down to Los Angeles for our first ever art show, “Paper Dolls” at FIFTY24LA Gallery. It was a great excuse to see the ladies since we mostly work over the phone and via email – when we’re all together watch out – we form like Voltron and tear shit up!

Paper Dolls Opening Reception: Post Reception M.I.S.S. Dinner at Roscoes!

The show was a success with tons of people out and about for Downtown LA Art Walk, we had a steady stream of visitors and a few no-shows (damn LA parking!).  It was great to connect with people we haven’t seen in a while like Laura Knapp, Lanie from Hellz and the DMPC ladies; It was also nice to finally meet ladies that we’ve worked with but hadn’t had the pleasure of meeting in person like Jaq from Nola Darling, Sarah Morrison of internet fame and Melinda of Her Nails.  One of the highlights for me was finally meeting Estevan Oriol, whose store The Last Laugh is next door, who came by to check out the show.

Paper Dolls Opening Reception: Lanie Alabanza-Barcena & the Hellz Crew

The show would never have come together without the participation of so many talented artists whose work is so diverse.   I am proud to have such an eclectic showing of pieces all with varying interpretations of the paper doll (and many of them sans clothing!) – with many pieces coming in from around the country (and some other countries too!).  Many many thanks go out to all the participating artists: Adriana Yugovitch, Alice Mizrachi, Amanda Lopez, Branden Collins, Claw Money, Esther Kim, Farah Siozon, Fawn Gehweiler, Ilisha Helfman, Indie184, Insa, J. David Mckenney, Kelly Tunstall, Kerin.Rose,  Kime Buzzelli, Leola Bermanzohn, Lisa Perrin, Liz Sullivan, Magda Sayeg (Knitta Please), Martina Fugazzotto, Melly Elliott, Miss Kika, Mitsy Avila Ovalles, Molly Crabapple, Narcissister, Nicole Markoff, Nubby Twiglet, Paulina Quintana, Queen Andrea, Sahara Marina Borja, Shin Tanaka, Sofia Maldonado, Solarspace (Austin Pinon), Tone Tank, and Toofly.

A very big special thank you to the ladies who made this happen – Kimberly Jefferson and Lexx Valdez – as well as the L.A.-based M.I.S.S. interns Leilanie, Felicia and Ashley!  Big hugs! And last but not least, many thanks to the Upper Playground family, FIFTY24LA, Krista & Melinda.

Please check out the gallery below to see photos of some of our visitors and all of the art pieces (a few pieces are missing – we’re getting those photos and will update the post shortly!).  All of the items are for sale unless they are marked as SOLD.  If you are interested in purchasing a piece, please email us at miss@missomnimedia.com with the name of the piece and the artist who created it.

The show runs until March 3, 2010 so if you missed the opening you have some time to check it out and there’s also the February Downtown LA Art Walk on February 11, 2010.

Thanks for all of your support and we look forward to putting together more events that push the culture forward and bring ladies together.

Monarchy NYFW Spring 2010

There’s something about Monarchy that is quickly making it a favorite of young Hollywood. Maybe it’s the fabrication or the innovative design, whatever it is; they’ve given us more of it in their Spring 2010 collection.

Monarchy NYFW Spring 2010

Eric Kim’s LA based brand kept it fresh with crepe and organza styled suits and dresses that could be worn as both day and evening wear. Dresses with deep necks and draping along with cropped shirts proved that Monarchy definitely has a pulse on what looks their clients and the rest of us crave. Kim even brought us a great update of a new staple, the Khaki high waited paper bag short. These shorts are perfect for day or night and have me counting down the days until spring starts.

Monarchy NYFW Spring 2010

The men’s suiting was heavily influenced by prep school attire with trim tailored sport coats, cardigans and thick rimmed glasses mixing in with denim and white military cotton shirts. These styles appear to be reaching out to modern guys and telling them it’s okay to wear slacks every now and then.

Monarchy Invite and Seat

All in all the collection is fresh, young and hip, like the stars that lined the front row.  Of course it had to have been so, since M.I.S.S. was in the building representing and we know, the ladies here are only up on the freshest trends.

Tee Fisher has been smashing it with her site TrashBagAesthetics.com! The site, “a womens lifestyle online magazine dedicated to sneakers, urban fashion, style, trends & the everyday social blunder that plagues our daily routine,” has drawn thousands of female readers of all age ranges. Since it’s creation in 2006, TrashBag Aesthetics has provided the daily news on what’s going down in the streets of NYC and today we’re honoring the lady behind the site as a woman making history!

Stop drooling over the necklace (Yea! Hottest self-promo piece evah!) and get familiar with Tee after the jump!
