Los Angeles Fashion Week Spring '05: A Friend of Mine
Kelly Marshall paid homage to “The Stepford Wives” with some classic silhouettes during her debut fashion show at P. Ka Bu, held Oct. 29 at the Blu Pinstripe Warehouse in Los Angeles.
Marshall, a recent Brooks College graduate, built her collection, called A Friend of Mine, around fabrics. For Spring, she opted for retro polka dots and shiny metallics on classic V-neck dresses. She also offered basics such as strapless tops and cropped pants as well as big floral-print skirts.
The designer’s goal was to provide dressed-up looks for day and night. —Robert McAllister
