Cowan&#8217;s grandmother used to make lace. To evoke a coastal feel, he used pastel tie-dies and a towel wrap. The wrap, worn by model Karolina Kurkova, shimmered with crystal stripes and fringe.<\/p>\n<p>Several of Cowan&#8217;s staples made their way back onto the runway Tuesday, such as crystal mesh draped over a dress and his chrome watch band heels. His sequin dipped hoodie-dress also made a reappearance for the season, but this time the fabric was tie-dyed at the top.<\/p>\n<p>Recording artist and &#8220;Real Housewives of Beverly Hills&#8221;\u00a0cast member Erika Jane wore the same design, sitting front row, but hers was in a vibrant pink.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Christian Cowan has always got pop art, fun, colour. This is where you can have fun in fashion and not be so serious,&#8221;\u00a0Jayne said.<\/p>\n<p>Also sitting front row was Meghan Trainor, who Cowan dressed for the LA Pride Festival.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was the first time ever that I wore such a revealing outfit and it made me realize how beautiful I actually was,&#8221;\u00a0Trainer said. &#8220;So, he gave me a lot of confidence and because of him, I love my body more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Starrr, the YouTube personality and makeup artist, was also on hand.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We celebrate a message of inclusiveness, diversity. Fashion is catching up. We&#8217;re here. We have Christian Cowan and look at the diversity around the room,&#8221;\u00a0he said, noting he had a front row seat. &#8220;I&#8217;m a bald, gay, plus-sized Filipino man and I&#8217;ve happened to make it.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View this post on Instagram Thank you everyone!
