LAFW Fall 2013: Bryan Hearns
Los Angeles designer Bryan Hearns has produced fashion installations and runway shows at Concept LA Fashion Week in the past. For Fall ’13 he made the shift to Style Fashion Week at Vibiana in downtown Los Angeles, where he produced a 19-look show on March 15.
For his latest collection, Hearns found inspiration in a fantasy world that mixed the HBO series “Game of Thrones” with an aquatic milieu.
Some pieces directly evoked the “Game of Thrones” warrior narrative. Some of Hearns’ miniskirt ensembles were inspired by ancient gladiator armor. Other looks were more impressionistic. There were motorcycle vests with panels screwed together instead of being sewn together. There were sweaters that featured a black mesh panel in between fleece panels, as well as waxed denim pants with leather inserts.
