Hall’s 2013
Spring Collection Presented by AGTA
Los Angeles-based
designer Kevan Hall unveiled his Spring 2013 collection December 5th with an
intimate runway production at his atelier, presented by the American Gem Trade
Association (AGTA), harkening back to the salon presentations of the 1950’s.
Celebrities including Estelle, Teri Hatcher, who made it a
mother-daughter date night with daughter Emerson Rose Tenney, Virginia Madsen,
Mayim Bialik, Alfre Woodard, Twilight’s
Christian Serratos and more were in attendance to take in the drama on the
runway.

Known for his
modern take on glamour, Hall’s Spring 2013 collection derives inspiration from
the strong colors of Fauve landscapes. Ribbons and bows co-exist with
structured silhouettes, accented with patent leather, creating an exuberant
collection aimed at awakening the senses and returning to a feminine moment in
fashion. The runway presentation consisted of ready-to-wear as well as
red carpet-worthy eveningwear and culminated in a passage of bridal gowns from
Kevan Hall’s new White Label collection. The designer, who once helmed iconic
fashion house Halston, has enjoyed success as a perennial Red Carpet favorite,
dressing many of Hollywood’s
leading ladies including Katherine Heigl, Vanessa Williams, Jordin Sparks,
Debra Messing, First Lady Michelle Obama plus countless others.
The show was
presented by The American Gem Trade Association (AGTA) Collection™ featuring
fine jewelry by Erica Courtney, Baggins, Mark Schneider Designs, Somewhere in
the Rainbow Collection and Yael Designs. “With Kevan’s obvious love of color in
his designs, we thought this was a great opportunity to promote colored
gemstones and pearls,” stated Douglas K. Hucker, AGTA’s CEO. “We were able to bring together a wide
variety of jewelry to accessorize Kevan’s looks from a group of AGTA Member
designers, all of whom have won multiple AGTA Spectrum Awards™.”
