Second suspect charged in stabbing death near Orange nightclub

Prosecutors filed charges against a second suspect on Monday, Sept. 10 in a slaying near a nightclub in Orange in July.

Antonio Jesus Brito, 19, of Santa Ana is accused of assault and murder for his alleged involvement in the beating and stabbing of Nicholas Glynn near the The District Lounge at 223 W. Chapman Ave. on Sunday, July 29, according to a release from the Orange County District Attorney’s Office. If convicted, Brito could face as many as 25 years in state prison.

He and two other men had gotten into an altercation with Glynn, along with a second unnamed victim, and all five men were ejected from the establishment, according to Sgt. Phil McMullin, a spokesman for the Orange Police Department. He said that, afterwards, the suspects were driving away from the club when they spotted Glynn and his companion. The three men got out of their car and attacked the two victims, according to McMullin.

They were severely beaten, and Glynn was stabbed twice during the second fight by the third unidentified suspect, according to the prosecutors’ news release. It said both victims were transferred to a local hospital, where Glynn was later pronounced dead. The unnamed victim survived, but was given 44 stitches for injuries to his face.

The following day, police arrested Santa Ana resident Vidal Almazan, 21, who is accused of participating in the beating, according to the release. He faces charges similar to those filed against Brito on Monday.

ANAHEIM — Before the Angels’ latest bullpen game on Tuesday night, Mike Scioscia was asked about handling such games and he cut off the question.

“They’re not by design,” he said. “I wish we had Garrett Richards or Tyler Skaggs or Nick Tropeano or JC Ramírez.”

Without those injured starters, the Angels still ended up with something pretty good.

Eight Angels relievers combined on a two-hitter in a 1-0 victory over the Texas Rangers, with the only run coming on José Fernandez’s first career homer.

For as much as Scioscia would prefer to have one of his true starters, the relievers see a game like this as an opportunity.

“The past couple years we’ve been kind of under the radar as far as bullpens, but we always had confidence in ourselves,” Blake Parker said. “We chomp at the bit when we get a bullpen day. We take pride in that, and going out and putting up zeros.”

The first six pitchers did just that, holding the Rangers hitless. While some – including Scioscia – said they had no idea there was a no-hitter in progress, Parker admitted he knew when he entered in the eighth.

“As much as it’s something you don’t want to be focused on, it’s always in the back of your head,” Parker said.

One out into the eighth, Parker gave up a single to Isiah Kiner-Falefa.

Before that, the relievers had retired 13 in a row. Jim Johnson, who got the call to start his first game since his major league debut in July 2006, walked two of the six batters he faced. Noé Ramírez then got the next five outs, with a walk.

After that, Hansel Robles, Cam Bedrosian, Justin Anderson and José Álvarez each worked perfect innings.

Parker gave up the one-out single to Kiner-Falefa and then a two-out single to Rougned Odor, putting runners at the corners. Ty Buttrey was summoned, and he retired Jurrickson Profar with the help of a nice backhand from third baseman Kaleb Cowart.

Andrelton Simmons made an outstanding play on a ground ball up the middle to start the ninth, helping Buttrey to get the four outs he needed for his second career save. Buttrey, who came to the Angels in the Ian Kinsler trade, has allowed one run in 11-2/3 innings with the Angels.

Had they held the Rangers hitless, the Angels would have set the record for most pitchers to combine on a no-hitter, surpassing the six used by the Houston Astros (2003, against the Yankees) and Seattle Mariners (2012, against the Dodgers).

The pitching and defense helped the Angels pick up their second 1-0 victory in three games.

The only run was on a second-inning homer by Fernandez, a 30-year-old Cuban whose career stalled after a failed attempt to defect.

“I am very proud of what I accomplished today, helping the team to win,” Fernandez said through an interpreter. “I’m very happy to be here. It’s a great moment.”

Fernandez added that he had had received the ball from his homer, which “is going to be with me for life.”

Vaquera RTW Spring 2019

Vaquera’s spring show was like a fun little pop quiz that the whole class already knew all the answers to — no head-scratchers here. Patric DiCaprio, Bryn Taubensee and Claire Sully showed at P.S. 42 Benjamin Altman on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, the runway winding through cafeteria tables littered with bubblegum, spilled Coke cans and wadded-up loose leaf paper. The “Harry Potter” theme song set up a procession of high-school stereotypes — jocks, sluts, cheerleaders, goths — that twisted through the Vaquera looking glass so that freaks and geeks ruled the school. Is subversion still subversive when the concept has gone so mainstream?
The prom king wore pumps with a literal sweatsuit, a tux made from gray fleece. The cheerleader looked like she had spent the night at a rager in her bra top and tattered mini dress. Football pads were reimagined as a cute denim harness; your little brother’s sports bedsheets were transformed into a voluminous gown, and those finicky Scantrons became a print on a pair of pants.
A footnote on Vaquera’s shownotes defined the label as “a unisex clothing line that redefines luxury fashion through narrative-based collections.” The story they were telling was clear, though it stands to note

Chiara Boni La Petite Robe RTW Spring 2019

The flamboyant, vibrant feel of Paul Gauguin’s Tahitian paintings inspired the Chiara Boni La Petite Robe spring collection. The runway show, which was the brand’s best so far, offered a fresh, joyful interpretation of the designer’s feminine aesthetic, combining flattering silhouettes and a practical attitude.
Several floral patterns created a vivid patchwork on a range of maxidresses that had a new comfortable fluidity, as well as on the smart separates, including capri pants worn with coordinating T-shirts.
The bold prints were juxtaposed with elegant solid styles, worked in a tropical palette of orange, red and yellow. Peplum details, laser-cut fringe, tulle ruffles and organza layers contributed to the uplifting spirit of the lineup, which included pretty breezy, flouncy sundresses that will be perfect for next summer’s beach parties.

Zoë Jordan RTW Spring 2019

A year ago, Zoë Jordan moved her whole family to Majorca, Spain, which begged the question: What should she wear in the new beachy setting?” Jordan started to tackle this question in resort, but has made even bigger strides for spring with ample beachy offerings. Tie-dyed cashmere hoodies and elbow-baring sweaters made for an important part of the collection and could be styled with silk striped trousers or striped cotton board shorts. One could imagine wearing her adorable button-up striped playsuit and bucket hat strolling along the island, collecting seashells, or dipping one’s toes into the sea clad in her fringed cover-up over a bikini.
Jordan also carried over and infused details inspired by rock-climbing (her favorite sport) equipment into the line: Cropped cashmere hoodies and joggers had drawstring ties while a metallic blue carabiner was fastened to a creamy leather mini skirt. A black-and-white gingham day dress with baby blue drawstring shoulder ties fused the two overarching themes together nicely. The collection felt lighter, evolved and of the now, with pieces that could be worn on and off the beach.

Sally LaPointe RTW Spring 2019

The comic book series “East of West” served as a starting point for Sally LaPointe’s spring collection. In particular, the designer focused on the science-fiction-western’s combination of past and future elements, which inspired her to reinvent wardrobe classics with a personal, unexpected filter.
For example, a trenchcoat was made in PVC, sartorial short pants were crafted from vinyl, cable-knit sweaters were cropped and their hems were left unfinished, while tartan was rendered in a metallic fabric crafted for an oversized coat.
Fur touches were introduced as Western decorations on jean jackets, while marabou feathers punctuated a net zippered jacket matched with silk shorts. Allover sequins gave a Space-Age feel to a coat cut in a minimal, elegant silhouette, while beaded fringe added a glamorous touch to midiskirts and jackets worked in a charming color palette, ranging from a bright, feminine pink to a nocturnal, intriguing blue shade.

Naeem Khan RTW Spring 2019

The attitude of Naeem Khan’s vibrant show was young and light. The theme — a personal one — was of an immigrant in America blending his Indian heritage with Western ideas of glamour.
Backstage before the show, Khan detailed his various influences: “It’s my journey through the Seventies and Eighties, Truman Capote’s Black and White ball; color, which is so important because it makes you happy, and the way I mixed it together.” In show notes, he listed a few more points: “my first impressions of this city,” “its clash of culture in the underground,” and “Studio 54.”
There was a thread of ease to silhouettes not often associated with Khan’s world of high-glam evening. In fact, it targeted young women just about to enter that world who want a side of casualness with their glitz. There were sleek slipdresses with embroidered bodices; embellished T-shirts tucked into fluid sequined skirts; a fully beaded blazer with loose beaded shorts, or the opening black gown with alluring slashes inspired by the work of artist Lucio Fontana. The jersey dresses that immediately followed were stellar, and winked at a Halston reference.
“It’s not technically streetwear, but still taking simple things like a T-shirt and mixing it

EXCLUSIVE: Johanna Senyk Presents Françoise

PARIS — Meet Françoise, the new act of Johanna Senyk, who has decided to put Wanda Nylon on hold following her recent separation from partner Guillaume Befve, the brand’s cofounder.
For her new venture, Senyk has partnered with the Mantova, Italy-based manufacturer Castor Srl to develop, produce and distribute the women’s collection. The bags are licensed to Italy’s Siloe, which produces leather goods for a number of leading luxury brands.
“When I met the all-woman team behind Castor, we hit it off immediately,” Senyk told WWD. The designer, who scooped the main ANDAM prize in 2016 with Wanda Nylon, also read the fact that Castor had produced Martin Margiela’s collections around the time he won the ANDAM award in 1989 as “a sign.”

Johanna Senyk 
Julia Champeau

Senyk said the aim was to combine old school Italian know-how with French taste. For the new brand, she dreamt up an imaginary character, based on the idea of an ultrasophisticated French woman who is more into creating her own look than following trends.
“She’s not too young, she’s a working girl who buys her clothes with the money she owns, she drives, she’s free. She is extremely feminine — she would never wear a fanny pack, even if

L’Autre Chose Taps New Creative Director

MILAN — L’Autre Chose is banking on a young talent to forge the new course of the brand, appointing a new creative director shortly after the arrival of chief executive officer Alice Carli.
Designer Nicolò Beretta, 22, has joined the Italian brand and his first designs will be unveiled in November and will be carried in stores in March. Beretta will continue to design his own luxury footwear label Giannico, which he launched in 2013. Known for his witty take and colorful embellishments on shoes, which have caught the attention of the likes of Lady Gaga and Chiara Ferragni, Beretta won the Who’s on Next prize in 2015 and in 2016 received the Footwear News Emerging Talent Award.
In an interview at the L’Autre Chose showroom here, Carli explained that Beretta’s take on the upper premium brand will help it to grow internationally and expand its core footwear division as well as its ready-to-wear, handbags and small leather goods categories. “Being contemporary is key for us — we are building collections that must be more dynamic and modern,” said Carli, who was appointed in June to lead the company. She was previously head of global marketing and business development for the U.S. and
