CLAD to Host New Member Meeting

The Coalition of Los Angeles Designers (CLAD) will host a new member meeting and informational session on Feb. 27 in the California Market Center fashion theater.

CLAD members will be on hand to answer questions about the organization and discuss membership requirements and benefits.

To qualify for CLAD membership, a company must be manufacturing and shipping to at least one retail account. A selection committee composed of current CLAD members decides membership for the nonprofit organization.

The meeting will also cover some of CLAD’s upcoming events, including a group runway show at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Los Angeles during Los Angeles Fashion Week in November. The group will also discuss a planned meet-and-greet with stylists and press as well as future business seminars.

The meeting is set for 7 p.m. For more information, e-mail clad_designers@hotmail.com. —Alison A. Nieder
