![]() | The 2013 DEBUT Runway Show of Style Week OC would present some of the most creative concepts of style and design, born from the minds of the fashion scene’s most promising young innovators and visionaries. After all, the presented fashion lines within this featured portion of the program would essentially be an introduction of FIDM’s hottest graduating designers as true artists within the professional fashion industry. Therefore, to effectively make their impact as debuting names within their diverse field of expertise, they would search thoroughly within the extent of their very own ability to effectively establish and craft a distinct brand that would somehow stimulate an acute fascination towards wonder and possibility. It’s through such effort and imagination that would essentially define the energy and mood of this special showcase extravaganza, as the participating runway models themselves would express their outward enthusiasm for the intricate nature-themed designs spotlighted that evening. Indeed, these artists would effectively state their claim as the future mavericks of their scene and industry, hoping to someday become as relevant within their field as those who have successfully gone before them in previous seasons. |

Style Week OC 2013: Inspired Fashions and the Women Who Wear Them
![]() | Fashion is ultimately defined in a statement, a declaration of purpose or identity that fundamentally signifies the character within a completed project or collection. It’s a theme or inspiration that establishes direction. Thus, it is all the more significant to one’s distinct stylistic progression. So, as one discovers that unique essence of motivation within his or her being, a true discovery of oneself can be effectively achieved, leading to the full manifestation of one’s talent in its purest and most potent form. Perhaps, it’s through such an understanding, which influenced the initial organization and creation of the DEBUT Runway Show, an event that continues to honor and recognize the evolution of FIDM’s top students into truly legitimate professional artists. Style Week OC would be proud to feature these brilliant, up-and-coming designers at Newport Beach’s Fashion Island, a popular shopping destination where they would be fully exposed to the general public like never before. As a result, the modeling industry has always had a significant role within such celebrated occasions, possessing that talent and personality, in which to emphasize and convey the underlying message of each uniquely conceived design. It’s through such presence, which would effectively breathe life within these stunning concepts upon the Style Week OC runway. |

![]() | On this final night of Style Week OC at Fashion Island, event organizers were prepared to put out all the stops to make this 2013 spectacular one of the most complete and comprehensive representations of the broad-based fashion scene. Thus, the emphasis on providing distinct experiences within the program would be key to establishing that unique flavor, in which to instill a lasting intrigue towards rich themes and motifs upon the hearts and minds of a dedicated audience. Such would be essentially realized within what many would refer to as a FABULOUS Soiree, a special nighttime gathering set upon Fashion Island’s Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdale’s courtyard for the purpose of celebrating a common appetite for art and fashion. Though such passions would be broadly characterized by a pure visual fascination towards the presented items and concepts of the featured fashion program, others would find its significance within deeper meaning. To them, this would be an actualization of their true inherent potential, a vindication for a long, eventful journey towards honing an innate talent, deeply seeded within their blood, being and soul. Indeed, FIDM’s top graduating designers of 2013 would have much to look back upon, as they witnessed some of Southern California’s most alluring runway models sporting their own distinct collections during the DEBUT Runway Show segment of this year’s Style Week OC. |

Style Week OC 2013: Modeling for the DEBUT Runway Show
![]() | Though walking the runway might be a common factor to a professional fashion model’s everyday experience, there are events when a certain level of emotional immersion can be assumed within the particular significance of a time or moment. Sometimes, it’s not necessarily about the interpretation of art, per say, which holds the primary weight of the performance but rather a specific reflection of the narrative behind the inspiration of a specific piece or collection. Such would be the case at the 2nd annual FABULOUS Soiree at Fashion Island, where the top students of the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising would present their debut collections during a special Style Week OC segment aptly named the DEBUT Runway Show. Eventually as the lights would dim to signal the start of the program, the crowds were treated to exclusive video interviews of the presenting designers themselves, as they would explain their motivations for the concepts and themes within their work. Shortly afterwards, the featured fashion models of the segment would assist with projecting that distinct vision and character to the mass audiences surrounding the Style Week OC stage and runway. |
