For Karyn Kim, the questions all designers should ask themselves can be boiled down to a few Ws.
New Lines
The following new lines showing at Los Angels Fashion Market.
Opening at LA Market
After testing the U.S. waters over the last year, French denim brand Skylton is putting down roots with the opening of a new showroom at the California Market Center.
Zero Degrees Celsius
An abundance of light streams in through the south-facing windows of the new showroom for the Zero Degrees Celsius line.
Agent Icon
After many years on the 12th floor of The New Mart, the Agent Icon showroom moved in in June to a new space on the second floor of the Cooper Design Space, where light filters into the bright space through the trees lining Los Angeles Street.
Showroom Profile: Lynn Girard
After 36 years of running a showroom in the California Market Center, Lynn Girard thought it was time for a change.
New Lines
The following new lines and new showrooms will be available during the March 16–20 run of Los Angeles Fashion Market. (Note: Not all showroom buildings are open all days. Please check Apparelnews.net for correct start and end dates for each building.)
Le Frenchlab
Le Frenchlab launched in August and is distributing and marketing the “new generation” of French designers, said founder Emmanuelle Rienda.
Noella Showroom
She had worked for the Cooper-based Simon Showroom since 2010, and, when Vets decided to start her own multi-line showroom in August 2013, she had her heart set on staying at the Cooper.
The Village Showroom
Tina Fleming and her partner Shanon Martin have branched out to their own 1,200-square-foot showroom on the eighth floor of The New Mart.
T&A Showroom
Tim Padilla and Alfred Davis opened their T&A Showroom more than five years ago in the 824 Building, the wholesale building located just north of the intersection of Ninth and Los Angeles in the Los Angeles Fashion District.
Core Showroom
Nestled on the 10th floor of the Cooper Design Space, Core Showroom is stepping out on its own, moving to suite 1014 after sharing space in suite 1008 for a few years, said Jillian Kirk, Core’s owner.
Bob Ditchik and Associates/The H.E.M. showroom
The Jan. 13–16 run of Los Angeles Fashion Market will be the first market for Bob Ditchik and Howard Meyers in their space at The New Mart after the two spent decades—three for Ditchik and two for Meyers—in the California Market Center.
Vertigo Showroom
The Vertigo showroom has only been open in the Gerry Building for a few months, but the line has been around for decades.
