It was an exceptionally beautiful, yet hot day in Hollywood when Sonja Rasula had her first Unique Los Angeles + Urban Outfitters Mini-Market held on the Space 15 Twenty parking lot; which was also sharing the space with the Hollywood Farmers Market.
The event showcased 60 local designers, including some familiar ones from the Unique Los Angeles Shows. My friend, Liz Abbott of Leatherette Heart was showing her line, including her famous MJ Mugshot tees…Liz was wearing the logo on a dress….I’m hoping she will start manufacturing the MJ dresses soon, because I want to snatch one up. Leatheretteheart is on Etsy.com and facebook!
Julia LoVan was also there, selling her dresses, tees and totes. She had recently showed her collection at Project Ethos: Lift Off…(unfortunately, I was out of town for the event) and had an album with the dresses, which are one-of-a-kind and made from recycled clothing. You can contact her at: julialovandresses@gmail.com or shop her wares at Etsy.com.
Julia introduced me to the designers of the jewelry line, Avery Jasper, Aurelie Davis and Jill Green. They offered jewelry made from bullet casings and one necklace I was particularly fond of is the Key Necklace… A long necklace with a vintage key at the end….this should be staple to very Angelena’s wardrobe. My other favs were the necklaces with the religious pendents. Check them out at www.averyjasper.com.
The other familiar brands that were there: Rojas, SeaPony, myfriendroze, Elisa Gonsalves, Voz Clothing & Art and others. The above brands contact information can be found at the previous Unique Los Angeles posts.
