LAFW '17 KICK OFF

Los Angeles Fashion Week Spring’17 Kick Off

The Los Angeles Fashion Week event known as LA Fashion Week, now in its third season, hosted its runway shows at the Hollywood Athletic Club. The international lineup included returning designers Ashton Michael, Datari Austin, Vicken Derderian and Marcelo Quadros as well as several collections that were new to LA Fashion Week. Among the newcomers was Bezgraniz Couture, an international company that makes "functional modern clothes and accessories for people with nontraditional body types.”

Fashion Week continues throughout the month with Art Hearts Fashion Week at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Style Fashion Week at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, Fashion Week LA at The Bloc in downtown Los Angeles and FBI’s All Aboard fashion fund-raiser at Union Station in downtown Los Angeles. Then, in early November, new event ReveLAtion—which will feature runway shows, pop-up shops and industry panels—will bow at Siren Studios in Hollywood.
