Project Ethos’ ‘Culture Shock’
by Rhea Cortado
March 31, 2009
More than 2,000 people packed the Vanguard nightclub in
On March 27, Project Ethos showcased local emerging talent with an art installation, live concert and runway show, all under one roof. Between the fashion show and live performances by the bands Casxio and Carney, partygoers perused art displayed on a breezy outdoor patio.
Monica Ruiseco, who previously worked for retail consultant Directives West in
Alfred Lape’s line, Lavsh, was a standout with its cool menswear that blended a dapper, tailored aesthetic with a street edge. Agape by Danijela J. balanced pretty, sharp looks with a ruffled-collar jacket featuring sculpted puffy shoulders and a long, multi-tiered skirt in airy tulle.
Luxcher added a twist to the bubble skirt with an asymmetrical hem on a polka-dot dress. The Other Duck’s ensembles came in somber black and gray on the outside and had a futuristic slant. One gray coat opened up to a happy psychedelic-print lining.
Also shown on the runway were fun, short party dresses by Cowgirl Heaven; graphic prints on knit hoodies, dresses and tops by MidnightMare; graphic tops by Devious Damzels; and handbags by Mimeki.

Inspiration
At the Grammy's, though they tried to India.Arie me
Got back stage, and I bumped into Stevie
He said no matter what, the people gone see me
Can't leave rap alone the streets need me
Hunger in they eyes, is what seems to feed me
Inside peace mixed with beast seem to breed me
Nobody believe, until I believe me
Now I'm on the rise doing business with my guys
Visions realize, music affected lives
A gift from the skies, to be recognize
I'm keeping my eyes on the people, that's the prize-Common

It's just a matter of timing
Though the grinding is tiring
Don't let 'em stop you from smiling
It's surprising how inspiring
It is to see you shining
Cause in the dark of the night you're all i can see
and you sure look like a star to me-Kelis

LAVSHXSupercr3w at Miss USA event
LAVSHXVerizon Wireless
Since verizon wireless sponsored me to be a part of Seattle Fashion Week, I was supposed to create a piece for them. I'm thankful that they believed in me to help me be a part of the show. So, I created this hoodie the model Will is wearing. I was working on it the whole day before the show, then took a nap at midnight, then woke up at 4am & finished it at 6am, then went to dress rehearsal at 9am until the show ended which was around midnight after we cleaned & packed up. Exhausted:( Then we woke up at 4am & took a flight to do the Miss USA event yesterday. "Every day I'm hustin"
