“It is my honor and privilege to be here tonight. I serve as the Mayor’s Fashion Liaison to the Fashion Industry, but the real reason I’m here is because I’m a big fan of Stop Staring! Alicia Estrada is the beauty and brains and the creator of Stop Staring!,” exclaims Commissioner Ruiz.

“One of the reasons I love Stop Staring! is because it shows that vintage fashion never goes out of style. Little known secret---we actually call Alicia ‘The Vintage Vixen.’ ”

In 2005, Alicia received an award from the Mayor for Minority Manufacturing Business of the Year.

 

Taking its inspiration from the 1940’s and 1950’s, Stop Staring! cocktail dresses and rockability designs have been worn by a host of celebrities including Eva Mendes, Kim Kardashian, Zooey Deschanel, and Twilight star Ashley Greene.

 

As a bonus, the crowd seemed to have gotten the memo of the night---it’s Fashion Week in LA getting decked out is a must.

The Caipirinhas and Guava Rose cocktails by Leblon were tasty. We snacked on mini cheeseburgers and seasoned fries from the food truck in the back which were delish!

Oh, and don’t forget the gift bag…
