A few photos from the show:

This years' Avoid the Grey show was more of a gallery-type event, rather than the traditional runway show that Cliche presents each year.  Local designers showed their avant-gard style inpsiration for their current collections.  The models were enclosed in large white boxes, only viewable through peep-holes.  Each box decorated on the interior to reflect each designers aesthetic, complete with projections, chandeliers, smoke, etc.

Celeb Style for LESS

Think celebrity style is out of your reach?  Think again!  Here are a few looks I've turned from high end designer to affordale for everyone:

Evan Rachel Wood in a Preen Line dress.  The dress alone retails at $695.  I've put together a similar look here, all for less than half of what the Preen dress costs!

Get Kate Moss's double denim look she wore to the Mulberry s/s12 show.  I've put together a similar look here, all for under $350.  Shirt, pants, boots, purse and hat, what a steal!

Blake Lively in a Gucci resort 2012 and Brian Atwood pumps at a Sprinkles cupcake event in NYC.  I've put together a similar look here, with a couple extra options, totalling under $230 for entire outfit.  Compare that to the $595 price tag of Blake's Brian Atwood Maniac pumps!

  Nicole Richie in a 60's style Louis Vuitton dress and YSL Tribute pumps, attending the Louis Vuitton s/s12 show.  Get a similar look here.  I found a similar dress for only $35!
