Los Angeles, CA, March 15, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The fashion world will get its first look at the Li Cari AW2012 collection on March 21, 2012. This by invitation only event held at the Station Hollywood for the who’s who in fashion will commence at 9:00pm with red carpet arrivals that lead to a chic cocktail party for buyers, editors, celebrities, and VIP guests. The designer has chosen to display her collection as a fashion installation along with a charity auction for Unlikely Heroes.

International fashion designer Jazmin Whitley’s The Europe Collection will bring a splash of Europe to USA. “The Europe” is a women’s ready to wear collection comprised of organic cashmere, silks and woven fabrics in soft colors, blue, yellow, black and champagne. The range features the designer’s characteristic elements of classic timeless pieces through a soft and wearable palette. The designer commented, “I wanted to bring a bit of Europe royalty and Hollywood grace together, I believe this collection does that. This collection is season-less and pieces are staples for a wardrobe.”

Launching her label in March of 2006 during LA fashion week was just the beginning for the then only 17 year old young girl. She was the youngest to show in LA and then made fashion history again during New York Fashion week.
