LASplash.com: Style and Fashion Samora Fall 2008 Collection - Modern Elegance for the Working Woman By Gena Oppenheim (Los Angeles, CA) March 13, 2008 - After ten consecutive seasons presenting at Los Angeles Fashion Week, designer Samora Olayon brings her interpretation of the modern sophisticate back to the runway for yet another strut. Showcased in the Lightbox Studio, the line fully encompasses a strong, working woman with fitted jackets, herringbone silhouettes, and elegant tweed accents.
Samora tastefully chose to show her models in styles deigned for a truly modern woman. One who dresses for her career, but still wants a touch of flair, class, and sophistication to her look. Olayon derived inspiration from, “the woman who is confident and has a strong sense of style. A mature woman, who is sophisticated and sexy,” the now experienced designer explains her intentions.
Over the seasons, Samora has never ceased to bring grace and refinement to her lines, but still manages to add a new twist each year. Walking confidently down the purely white runway, the first model wore a fitted, blue gray button up coat accented with black boots and gloves. Samora used black and white as her base colors, a perfect choice for the average working woman, and heightened their effect with rich lavenders, eye-popping blues, and creamy golden overtones. The line took the role of a standard vocational woman and transformed her into a lady of style, all with a modern twist.
Deep plum hues were featured mid-show as plaid pencil skirts and lace-up coats took center stage, breaking free from a world of black and white. Models assertively wore sexy, yet classy styles embracing a jewel-toned theme amidst a neutral backsplash.
The line progressively moved from everyday whites to slightly accented lavender highlights, and then popped with a vintage, vivid turquoise mini dress. The look stunned the audience with its completely intense color and sophistication, echoed by deep black knee-high boots. The show wrapped up moving back into a world of winter whites and creamy fabrics, accenting neutral coats. An all white sweater dress captivated onlookers, with small black accents. The dress came fully equipped with a caped neckline, bringing a sense of power and strength to the womens’ wear design. The high-volume skirt flowed out at the bottom, attaching a unique sense of femininity to the coat.
The wearable designs, completely fulfill the needs of every working woman to express her sense of style, while still staying true to a look of modern class. Skilled and experienced, Samora was able to bring European fashion across the country and turn her line into a work of modern art. Amidst an intense sense of savvy and couture, almost any woman could sport Samora’s designs, walking confidently down the streets of Los Angeles. Her head-turning pencil skirts, luxurious coats, and silky tops pave the way into the winter season of warm, wearable favorites with an elegant, jewel-toned twist of character. Located at 8282 Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, California, Samora showcases her looks year round.
