Los Angeles Fashion Week Fall I 2003: Designers & Agents

Designers & Agents dubbed its first fashion show “Designers & Agents Friends & Family,” and that is just what the April 5 event was—a celebration of the New York–based trade show’s contemporary lines and the people who create, sell and buy them.

D&A’s designers, agents and buyers walked the runway in designs by Paper Denim & Cloth, Alvin Valley, Samantha Chang, Shoshanna, C. Ronson, Alice & Olivia, Juillet, Lulu Guinness and others.

The show, which was cosponsored by Chrysler and Elle magazine, was held in the Cooper Building’s 11th floor loft space, where D&A holds half of its show during the Fall and Spring markets. The event drew a raucous crowd of well-wishers, fashion fans, and, of course, friends and family. —Alison A. Nieder
