Deep fried Oreos, farm animals, floral displays, carnival rides and...a Spring 2012 dress collection? Attendees at the Los Angeles County Fair last weekend found themselves treated to a surprise fashion show by designer Tess Vigil of 50 Dresses, with models strutting the collection "Fash Mob"-style amidst the fried food and family fun.
