Didn't make to Paris Fashion week? Don't worry, StyleWeek OC is bringing fall fashion to Orange County.
The 14th annual StyleWeek OC, in partnership with the Newport Beach Film Festival , presents five days of runways shows, author panels, shopping parties and fashion film screenings.
The event kicked off Wednesday with a luxury runway show at Fashion Island's Neiman Marcus, featuring models showcasing 20 new fall looks that can be found at the department store.
"We hope everyone enjoys the show, and we look forward to seeing you all throughout the week for our other StyleWeek OC events," Gerard Widder, Fashion Island vice president and general manager, said in his address to a sharply-dressed audience.
The runway show included designer looks featuring fall trends like leather, western-inspired fringe, trench coats and tailored suits for men and women. A strapless gown adorned in rich peacock-colored ostrich feathers from Akris and a fuchsia high-low balloon skirted gown from Carolina Herrera accessorized with a Judith Leiber Couture Strawberry Cupcake crystal minaudière were among the memorable looks.
Following the fashion show, attendees were invited to shop the looks in the store, with 10% of sales earmarked for Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Orange County.
"If you are considering becoming an advocate, please learn more," said Paula Steurer, a CASA member and chair of Wednesday's event. "We really need your support more than ever."
Steurer, who is the founder of Corona del Mar-based Sterling Public Relations, shared why she became involved with CASA OC nearly 10 years ago and the reason she has continued her commitment to its cause.
