New Plan, Venue for Canceled Shows!

Michael Venedicto, the co-founder of the planned Fashion Los Angeles event, has stepped in to help the designers scheduled to show at a recently cancelled Los Angeles Fashion Week event by providing a location for them to showcase their collections on Saturday, Oct. 23.

The cancelled event, called Los Angeles Fashion Week, was scheduled to run Oct. 21–25, but it was called off on Oct. 20 when organizers ran into permitting problems for the venue in an industrial section of downtown Los Angeles.

The original lineup included 18 designers and Venedicto has offered all space to show their collections at a Bloggers’ Café event in a loft space in downtown Los Angeles. Venedicto said, so far, three designers have agreed to participate in the event, which is open to the fashion community. Guests will have a chance to meet the designers and view their collections.

L'une collection, Daisy Gonzalez and Paulina Lopez have joined the showcase, which will be held from 4-8 p.m. at 600 S. Spring St., suite 1708.
