NR Hot Seat

The LA designer behind Eternalbeen, fresh off a Bureau LAFW runway, says fashion now runs on “connections, money and influence,” wants independent designers to get the same spotlight as the luxury houses, and is passing the golden apple to three LAFW names.

The week the fashion internet argued about who gets cast at Victoria’s Secret (Fashion Times), an LA independent designer sent in an answer.

Eternalbeen (@eternalbeen) showed at Bureau Los Angeles Fashion Week. The segment we covered had open-net tops, cargo trousers, orange sets with black harness straps and corset belts, knit balaclavas and patchwork denim (Nightlife Report). Eternalbeen took Nightlife Report’s Hot Seat this week. The answers are below, exactly as submitted.

Most overrated right now?

Copy and paste streetwear

Unpopular opinion?

Fashion lacks creativity, now it’s about who has connections, money and influence to convince people about what’s fashionable

One rule worth breaking?

All of them, I don’t follow trends! I’m a trend setter

What does LA get wrong?

They think looking expensive is considered fashion and having style

Confession?

I’m not here to fit in ,I’m here to make everyone question what I do,I like to be the odd designer

What will everyone be wearing?

Everyone will be wearing my brand Eternalbeen

If you ran Fashion Week for one night, what would you change?

Model sizes” “If I ran Fashion Week for one night, the first thing I would change is giving independent designers the same spotlight as the big luxury houses. Talent shouldn’t need a famous name or industry connections to be seen. Let the creativity speak. The future of fashion deserves new faces, new visions, and new voices. — ETERNAL BEEN 🖤🔥”
