Ready. Set. SHOP!
Put your marathon shopping shoes on: It’s Fashion’s Night Out on September 10 and YOU ARE INVITED. Los Angeles kicks it up a notch this year for Fashion’s Night Out with City of Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Grammy Award winning singer Will.i.am, and Vogue’s Lisa Love hosting runway shows and events at the More...
It’s About Timing
Inadvertently, we created a stir on the topic of timing with our last post. And so we wanted to clarify our thoughts on calendar timing for Los Angeles Fashion Week. We’ve LONG advocated an earlier time slot on the global fashion calendar for BOTH LA Fashion Week AND LA Market Week. We do like to More...
LA Fashion Week’s Venue Options Expanding
Since last season’s debut of the new Concept Fashion Week in downtown LA, we’ve seen two more new Fashion Week production organizations emerge. They join BOXeight, LA Fashion Weekend, LA Fashion Collective, Simply Stylist and Project Ethos in providing collective venues for designers to present collections to buyers, stylists, bloggers and journalists. The first new consortium More...
Google’s Call to Fashion
OK our first clue was the list of fashion designers creating customized browser skins for Google Chrome. (We sport a design by Jonathan Adler here at the FashionWeekLA office, in homage to his past collabs with Trina Turk and also because he’s cool.) And then we connect with Tony Wang. Tony Wang is the impossibly hip More...
LA Fashion Week October 2010
Los Angeles Fashion Week Spring 2011 Collections are October 13-20, 2010. Centralized venues expected to host runway shows and creative presentations for Fashion Week LA in the upcoming season include the new Beverly Hills Fashion Week in Beverly Hills, the sophomore production of Concept Fashion Week and the return of BOXeight Fashion Week in downtown More...
Scene & Herd – March 2010
The venerable James Galanos will be out and about in support of LA Fashion Week. Will you be there? If you’re a retail store buyer or celebrity stylist looking for something new, or a member of the fashion press with the intestinal fortitude to look past New York/Milan/Paris for something radically different, you will find More...
Spring Arts Springs Up
With Beverly Hills Fashion Week stalling its debut until October, downtown booster Brady Westwater presses the Spring Arts Tower into service. (If we’re not mistaken, this was the site of the P Ka Bu fashion shows circa 2004.) The building, which opened in 1914, is home to a freshly refinished 8,000 square foot space More...
Gen Art is Back Out Front
Last season we followed the news of Gen Art’s merger with Rock Media. Thankfully it fell through. This season we are pleased to see Gen Art back out in front with an event to open Fashion Week. On March 16 Gen Art will host a reunion party poolside at the Roosevelt Hotel for its More...
Taking shape: Fashion Week LA March 17-24, 2010
The calendar is taking shape. Events this season will include a kick-off reception for designers hosted by Fashion Group International, Gen Art’s avant garde presentation of emerging fashion talent, a creative coalition on the edge of downtown at BoxEight Studios, a new Beverly Hills Fashion Week production and the return of the exclusive More...
LA Fashion Week – March 17-24, 2010
This season, the Fall 2010 collections in Los Angeles are expected cluster around Market Week, which takes place March 19-22 in downtown Los Angeles. In this economy, we think this is a smart move for LA: running high-profile fashion events concurrently with showroom and trade show appointments concentrates the schedule and helps buyers More...
