Latino designer

Designer Louis Verdad stepped out of hiding and onto the red carpet last week to showcase his latest collection, Louver, at a Downtown LA Fashion Week (DLAFW) event held at MOCA. Tequila was on tap (shout-out to newly imported Real de México) and celebrities a plenty (Rose McGowan, Nicole Richie). Verdad's all-black line proved his love for cutting-edge fashion and ability to overcome hurdles. 

Spring is here and what better way to celebrate than by showing less skin? By the pool, of course! I hit up my favorite Echo Park shop—Le Bohemian Chic—to see what owner Lidia Benitez-Jaime had in store for spring.
