A Rebirth of Color

From the Fashion Week runways of New York, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles, David Tupaz presents his Spring 2019 looks. The collection is presented in rich tones of magenta with a touch of lime, gold, and, of course, the Tupaz staple of black and white which is present in every collection he creates season after season.
An array of luxurious materials of Italian jersey, viscose crepe, metallic French corded lace, gold leaf spandex, black sequined mesh, silk organza, and crepe jersey with unique gold leaf stenciled print coordinate the entire collection. As expected, there is always a touch of “Old Hollywood.”
David brings a fresh statement of carefree lines and silhouettes that are fun, wearable, and classic. Easy styles, youthful yet sophisticated… A look inspired by a Spanish infanta from the turn of the century stood out in the collection with an element of surprise, and a touch of theatrics.
“Spring for me is always the rebirth of color, it is nature’s gift every season,” said David. We picked our favorites from the collection of 35 pieces for this issue. Photographed on location in the Hollywood Hills home of 10-time Emmy award producers, Peter and Lisa Brennan who are close friends of David.
