Locke got his big break on HGTV's show &quot;Design Star&quot; in 2008. This years show was a complete sell out with people having to stand in the back and sides of the stage.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Images by: Jay Canter Photography -&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="http://JayCanter.com">JayCanter.com</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Jay Canter 2010-05-01T21:47:53Z Jay Canter headline-23256 2010-03-15T10:16:55Z 2010-03-15T10:16:55Z <p>By:&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="http://JayCanter.com">JayCanter.com</a></p> <p><br /> Influenced by legendary fashion houses, Drop a House introduced some up and coming talent to Sacramento’s runway Saturday night.

Originally from Sacramento and Hiram Johnson High School graduate, doing a fashion show and sale in Sacramento was an easy choice for Jessica.</p> <p><br /> <br /> Jessica also happened to be long time friends with Marcus and Kolea Marquez, who own L Wine Lounge, which was the venue for the night.</p> <p><br /> <br /> The show came together in a very short period of time as they elected to do much more than just the typical fashion show. Proceeds from the sale portion of the fashion show as well as the bar tab would be donated to the Red Cross for Haiti earthquake relief.</p> <p><br /> <br /> Jessica said she always wanted to do a super intimate fashion show event showcasing her custom one off pieces of clothing.</p> <p><br /> <br /> In addition to the fashion show, the an upstairs area was filled with plenty of clothing for sale from her SF boutique. Jessica is proud to say that her line “ikohl” are one off and handmade with love in the USA. That also is the case for what she has in her boutique.</p> <p><br /> <br /> Loft 1513 houses 40-50 designers all whom offer one off pieces of original clothing all at very reasonable prices.</p> <p><br /> <br /> There was a great crowd of the faithful and fans of L Wine Lounge who came through regardless of the wet weather to enjoy some amazing designs and a bountiful spread of meats, cheese, and breads to complement the fantastic wines.</p> <p><br /> <br /> The service was impeccable with friendly smiles all over the Lounge. Even Mayor Kevin Johnson was spotted in the crowd socializing. It was really a great night full of wine, clothing, great vibes, and of course proceeds going out to the Red Cross to help with the earthquake relief.</p> <p><br /> <br /> If you want to visit L Wine Lounge Restaurant and Bar please visit their website to get directions and see what is in store for your visit: www.lwinelounge.com</p> <p><br /> <br /> If you are interested in purchasing some one off clothing that can even be custom tailored to fit your body please visit Jessica at Loft 1513 in San Francisco. www.loft1513.com</p> <p></p> <p>Images and Words: <a target="_blank" href="http://jaycanter.com/">Jay Canter</a></p> Jay Canter 2010-01-27T21:22:41Z
