Join the FBI for an exciting evening of fashion, networking and fun! Five up and Coming Designers will be Showcased during L.A. Market Week at the California Market Center.
In its ongoing effort to promote the L.A. fashion industry, The Fashion Business Inc. has announced an amazing lineup of new designers to be featured at its Designer Launch Pad fashion show on October 16th.
Scooter Girls introduces the GoGo Gear line, designed to be the first high-style line of affordable protective gear for female scooter and motorcycle riders.
So-ME Designs creates awareness of social and human rights issues through their line of sustainably manufactured tee-shirts sporting
Alana Hale’s fall line juxtaposes the abundant ornamentation of 18th century France with the leather-clad rebellion of Los Angeles rock and roll. Flowing silks and feathers in an organic palette mixed with leather and black accents create a look that is romantic, edgy LA chic.
Mariska Retro Revolution a new affordable contemporary womens line manufactured in Los Angeles. The collection spans two main categories: “career edge” and “casual elegance.”
Dzhavael Couture is an amazing new resource in the Betty Bottom Showroom. It is a Contemporary line both in look and fit, but works for customers across the age-line. I couldn’t be happier with the response from our stores. Anyone that wants a European Designer look at affordable prices should see this line — a must have!

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa presided over a press conference at the California Market Center to speak about LA Fashion Week. He spoke about the industry from the business end and mentioned the jobs, the investments, and the amount of money bought into downtown LA every year. The mayor then went on to speak at length about Rock Fashion Week which is not based in LA. This seemed to be a disconnect while Leanna Lewis form Downtown LA Fashion Week, Mikey Koffman from LA Fashion Weekend, and several other LA based designers looked on.
Randolph Duke announced the winners of the Fashion Angels Awards, The Los Angeles Emerging Designer Competition presented by the The City of LA, the Department of Cultural Affairs, and Downtown LA Fashion Week where they will be showing their collections on the runway. The winners pictured above each with a model wearing their designs are Jacquetta O’dell and Krysta Henry, Phong Hong, and Fernanda Carneiro with Leanna Lewis in the middle. Some of the esteemed judges pictured above are Yotam Solomon, Nick Verreos, Louis Verdad, Vanessa Gonzalez, Randolph Duke, and Raymond Baltazar.
Designer Max Azria, Ilse Metchek, executive director of the California Fashion Association (CFA), and Cynthia Ruiz, fashion ambassador for the Mayor’s office, also spoke.
Following the press conference Mayor Villaraigosa, along with his staff, representatives from the CMC, and a few photographers, were invited on a tour of some of the showrooms. At the YMI temporary space he met with David Vered, President of YMI Jeanswear, and discussed the “City of Angels” collection. We then went up to the In Play Showroom, where the Mayor remarked that the clothes were so cute, they made him want to have a child. The third stop was the Liza Stewart showroom where collections from Maria Bianca Nero, and Sworn Virgins were viewed. The Mayor mentioned how great his girlfriend would look in a white dress by Maria Bianca Nero. The last stop was the BCBG Max Azria Group showroom. At each stop the Mayor discussed the importance of clothing designed and manufactured in Los Angeles and careful attention was given to those brands.
