n celebration of his 50th natal year, Rocky’s 50-piece “Gold Collection” gilded the catwalk while Concert Soloist Matthew John’s live cello performance serenaded the models for the closing finale of the epic 4-day, 40-designer, Los Angeles Fashion Week A/W 2016 at Taglyan Complex, Los Angeles, California on March 17th, 2016. My eyes feasted on each ensemble with lavish details including architectural headpieces that were both gaudy and fun, especially with the exaggerated golden Mickey ears; neck to toe embellished cut-out bodice, made famous by Nikki Minaj; overstated 3D corsets of mixed media, adorned by crystals, pearls and chain fringes; and many more must see accoutrement. It was a captivating live art exhibition, truly inimitable and “very Gathercole.”
