WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — When “ST. FORTUNA” came up on the LED wall at The Lot Studios on Friday, Oct. 16, the look that followed did the talking: an oversized white open-knit top stamped with a big green “SF” monogram, green wide-leg trousers with a white side stripe and green-tinted sunglasses to match. It was part of “The Opening,” the 6 p.m. show of the Bureau’s LA Fashion Week.
Read of the look
Through our Ford lens, this is a camera look. The monogram reads from the back of the room and in a still frame, and the color story is one idea carried head to toe: white and green, top, trouser, stripe and lens. It is the kind of discipline Eileen Ford asked of models, applied to styling. Model credit for this look is still being confirmed.
Who is Saint Fortuna?
Public business listings describe St Fortuna Beverly Hills Couture, operating as Saint Fortuna Exclusives, as “a custom made to measure studio located in the Beverly Hills area,” making red-carpet dresses, wedding gowns, prom dresses and suits. The listings give a studio address on South Robertson Boulevard in Beverly Hills and a founding year of 2023. (CitySquares; iBegin)
The listing’s own pitch is about the client moment: creating “that wow! feeling” for “that next Red carpet event, your most anticipated fairy tale like wedding, or that fabulous prom dress.” (CitySquares) The runway look we shot leans sportier than that list, which makes it one of the more interesting pivots on the Opening bill. We have not confirmed the designer’s name as credited by the Bureau, or whether the label has a website; we found none.
On the bill
The Bureau’s schedule lists Saint Fortuna in “The Opening” alongside Susan Kim, Dimez, Deborah Beaumont Designs, Krown Kink, X-X Co. and Sewreffic. (The Bureau Fashion Week schedule) In our Runway Points format, Saint Fortuna is on the board as a featured team, not yet ranked. Scorecards are coming.

Our correspondent judges the runway against a Ford Models standard as an editorial lens: presence, professionalism, poise and how a model reads on camera. We leave out the body rules. These books explain where that standard came from.
