SF Design Week 2012's Appealing Runway Show Conveys all things Fashion & Design

Written by Lexie Tiongson [ Images by: Sam Jang ]

Creative minds, modeling talent and invoking fashion designs were energized at San Francisco Design Week’s fashion show Saturday night. The show was colorful, confident and appealing for any fan of San Francisco fashion.

Hosted by SFFAMA and Astro Studios, the runway navigated beautiful talented models and designs from Jennifer Schmidt, Rogue, JYJZ, Scott Ian Mcfarland and Audrey Szeto. The highly innovative show was secured with perfect ensembles meant to produce a fanciful image for luxury, texture and effortless creation.

With every direction, Owen Geronimo succeeded this runway show as the creative director. The music was phenomenal and on point, with a twist on what might be a true San Franciscan’s Pandora station. And Astro Studios proved to show that great interior design and runway can truly mix.

But the real standouts of the event were the astounding drinks provided by Izze Sparkling Juice and tasteful h'orsdourves provide by Cheat-a-Little catering.

In efforts to make a great runway show, the collaboration between SFFAMA, Inc., Astro Studios, AIGA SF, SF Design Week and Fashion+Tech SF cultivated every point of design achievement and fashion victory.

This event was sponsored by 360 Fashion Network, Fizz Marketing, Izze Sparkling Juice, Hip Swap, Smart Energy Shots and the SFIEC.

She has also had editorial internships at Shojo Beat Magazine, NOVO Magazine and The Sacramento Press.

SF Design Week 2012: New Gen Runway | Highlights

ROGUE began a men’s collection of updated classic outerwear with downtown influences. Built around the lifestyle of New York based designer Jimmy Reilly, the casual masculine leather and cloth outerwear collection rapidly gained prominence in top retail stores across North America. For more than a decade Rogue’s distinct identity, fit and market leadership inspired its designer to further develop the vision. In the Autumn of 2009, the scope of that vision was realized in the expansion of the brand as a contemporary men’s lifestyle collection. New categories include washed and wired woven shirts, soft comfy knits and tees, chunky sweaters, warm vests and creased slim pants. The A/W 2011 season will mark the launch of a footwear collection for the brand. READ PRESS

Jennifer Schmidt was born and raised in Salinas, CA.  I attended CSU, Sacramento and majored in Apparel Marketing and Fashion Design.  While attending college, I designed for several local and school fashion shows.  Once I graduated CSU, Sacramento, I knew that I wanted to focus on fashion design, so I decided to go to grad school at the Academy of Art in San Francisco.  During the three years of attending the Academy of Art, I learned more than I ever could have imagined.  Since I have graduated the Academy of Art, I have been freelance designing and working on my own collection.  In March of this year, I made my debut at the ‘Gaultierize Yourself Fashion Show’ at the De Young Museum to celebrate the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibit and looking forward to more opportunities.  “Live, Love, Create”.

Audrey Szeto is an artist and designer inspired by the intrinsically unique nature of each individual. She is always fueling her curiosity through the emotional and sensory responses of personal experiences as well as the recollection of memories. Whether through texture, weight or the feeling of constriction or exposure, each piece is about the process of transforming her ideas and sharing them with another. “The Safest Way to be” is a collection of garments inspired by methods of protection and self-preservation. Whether through suggestion of aggression or ritual practice, there is a connection between the physical and psychological that affords security and empowerment to the wearer. The emotional responses of the audience additionally become part of the story, as one cannot exist without the other.

Brad graduated from Colgate University with B.A. in International Relations, Economics and Asian Studies.

The “Design Worlds” of San Francisco converged on Jaspers for a sold-out SF Design Week opening party hosted by AIGA San Francisco, Puccini Group, Whole Foods and 7X7 Magazine. Guests enjoyed Campari cocktails and appetizers, live chalkboard art, greeting from 7X7 Magazine Editor Chloé Harris Frankeny and a presentation by the team that designed Jaspers. 

AIGA San Francisco is partnered all week with AIA, IDSA, SEGD, RDI, SFFAMA, and IXDA for an amazing line-up of events and a fantastic opportunity to meet the people and groups who are literally designing San Francisco.

Since 2006, AIGA San Francisco has organized San Francisco Design Week as a way to reach out to a diverse community of over 20,000 Bay Area design professionals as well as local businesses, non-profits, entrepreneurs, students, the design-savvy public, tourists, and more. AIGA SF will be partnering with the San Francisco chapters of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA), the Interaction Design Association (IxDA), the Society for Environmental Graphic Design (SEGD), and Adobe Systems, to sponsor a full week of events highlighting the diversity and professionalism of the design community around the bay. Our goal is to raise public awareness of the impact that all design-graphic, product, interior, fashion, architecture, advertising, et cetera-has in the San Francisco Bay Area.
