Tonight's shows were stunningly colorful and bright with patterns, but the designer that took every person's breath away tonight was Walter Mendez's 2016 spring collection.
In the dark blue gloom before the show had officially started, Walter emerged on the runway with his working partner, Ryan Patros to talk a little bit about this particular collection. He talked about the lovely city of Portland and how excited he was to be here, but surprisingly enough, he told us we were the first crowd to see his new spring collection!
The collection consisted main spring colors of light purple, pink, green, gold, and white. It was somewhat like a color wheel of sorts; with each gown that the model showed off, the colors would slowly change in an elegant manner. Walters collection was enchanting.
I got the chance to interview Walter in the VIP section after the show. Here's what I asked:
-Where did he get the inspiration to create these glamorous designs?
He got the idea while he was in Hawaii. He was in a plane overlooking the area and got inspired by Hawaiis bright and beautiful view. He got drawn to the tropical colors of ocean blue and palm tree green, which was involved a lot in his clothes.
-If he could collaborate with any designer in the world, who would it be and why?
Walter and Ryan both agreed that they would've loved to work with Alexander McQueen while he was still around. Who couldn't agree more? He was the most gifted, revolutionary, and legendary fashion designer of our time!
Walter has recently worked with Selena Gomez for her UK tour, along with his other clothing seen on many celebrities such as Jesse McCartney, Brooke Burke (from Dancing with the Stars), Troian Bellisario (Pretty Little Liars), and Avan Jogia!
Needless to say, the clothes and patterns he chose to muster as a representation of the brightly, wonderstruck archetype that he is trying to showcase were all flawlessly assembled.
