Los Angeles Fashion Market, January 17th-20th

On January 17th of 2011, the Fashion District of Los Angeles will be an environment of momentum, dynamism, and an epicenter of creativity. Almond Blossom will flirt with Adrianople Red. Acacia and Academy blue will make love and produce a baby that is so unattractive that someone will undoubtedly whisper, "don't look it at, dear god, there is a demon in our presence." But alas, an aura of Aurora Yellow made of silk chiffon and satin blends will float through lights and spectators (who lose their ability to focus on a pad of urgent notes to self), and we will forget to breathe momentarily because we have seen art that we can not only touch, but wear.

I plan on attending the Los Angeles Fashion Week from January 17th-20th at the California Market Center in the Garment District of downtown Los Angeles. Also known as the CMC, the market is located here:


110 East 9th Street (at Main Street)
Downtown Los Angeles CA 90079

Gathering at this venue, buyers, designers, artists, and journalists will attend the fashaholic's west coast paradise. Industry insiders will travel to get a chance to participate in one of one of the world's most glamourous industries; one that is also fiercely competitive, lucrative, and energetic.

Some of the designers participating in the market are "up and comers." Others have reputations that have earned them great respect. A handful of these designers maintain commercial websites. So check out www.californiamarketcenter.com and explore the world of the industry producing the art we wear!
