Runway Recap: Supreme Beings

Guests of the recent Supreme Beings fashion show at San Francisco’s SOMArts center were treated to a parade of unexpected silhouettes imbued with futuristic and conceptual twists fresh from the minds of emerging Bay Area designers Ilanio and Elena Slivnyak of IIMUAHII.

A neutral palette of anchored in cream, black and white put the emphasis on the angles, shapes and avant-garde styling of garments shown on models who hit the runway donning everything from space-age spherical head pieces to armor-like textile panels, spikes and reptilian scales.

Below, a selection of shots from the show.

The Do List: SF Fashion Events Feb. 29-March 4

Leap year babies celebrate, and then it’s on to March and more than a few style happenings on the horizon. The week revs up tonight with Poshmark’s first San Francisco Live Posh Party, where you can don a party dress and hope to sell it before the evening’s through. Thursday packs a slew of events into one night. Head to Cow Hollow for the Sasha Maks Vintage E-Boutique Launch Party, to the FiDi for a Refinery29 shindig at Bastille and to SoMa for the darkly edgy Supreme Beings Fashion Show featuring new work by San Francisco designers IIMUAHII and Ilanio. Next, try stripping down to your skivvies for free clothing on Friday at Union Square’s Desigual before stepping back into your sophisticated self for a Saturday Camilla Olson presentation on the Peninsula.

See you out and about!

You can find details on all of these events and more happening this week on the SF Indie Fashion Calendar.
