Los Angeles Fashion Week Fall I 2003: Deseo 23
Desso 23 presented a Fall/Winter 2003 fashion show on April 7 at a space located in Los Angeles’ Korea town. Womenswear designer Daniel Gonzalez and menswear designer Esperanza Ramirez showed a mixture of Japanese, Mexican and African influences on long, layered or mid-length skirts and a variety of tops, including several wrap tops, in a natural palette of gauzy fabrics. The designers offered tweed and wool jackets and pants in brown and olive, and some had contrast- piping details. Other pieces came with “mummification” detailing—a woven- style technique.–J.Y.
