The Atomic Fashion Show is the largest display of local fashion talent in Silicon Valley. Helium has hand picked local up-and-coming designers based on talent and potential for success in the fashion industry. Showcased in Helium’s unique interpretation of what a “Fashion Show” should be, the designers will also be featured in the He2 Zine (our first publication).

The Atomic Fashion Show isn’t just a fashion show: it’s the shake of an epicenter.

When: Wednesday September 30th, 8 p.m. (Doors open at 7:30)
Where: SJSU Student Union Ballroom
Who: Featuring 9 Silicon Valley fashion designers and a special guest performance
Admission: Free (VIP tickets $5)

The official list of designers will be announced in early September.

Seating is first come first serve (unless you have a VIP ticket).

Louis Vuitton doesn’t miss a beat this fall, with a ballet-inspired theme. Fashion meets dance in a dark ballet number.  While we are used to the signature “LV” patterns, we are pleased to see a new style come out of the fringe (literally).

Ballet-inspired footwear gives the illusion that one is daintily dancing on their toes. The ballet heels wrap around the ankle and tie in the back, some even lacing up to the knee. Fitted tops and short bubble skirts and dresses add to this look.

This line makes a statement with dark and light outfits and strategically placed bows and lace. Rich hues and bold blacks scream chic. There is lots of frills; big and small, on the clothes, shoes, and accessories. Besides all the new stuff, the line consists of the signature LV logo on accessories.

Even Madonna took a break from adopting children and lifting weights, to model this line. You can see her in the Louis Vuitton ads everywhere now.

Dancer-inspired ensembles can often look cheesy and costume-like, but this fall LV hits exactly the right queue.
