5 PRODUCERS BEHIND LA FASHION WEEK

March 28, 2017

As the last steps were being made on runways of Los Angeles Spring Fashion Week this past weekend, many designers, buyers, bloggers, stylists, MUA and photographers celebrated their latest breakthroughs and innovations, social connections and collaborations, the birth of new ideas and affirmation of old ones. Even though Los Angeles is not considered to be the world center of fashion industry and is a few steps away from the level of the Big Apple, rumors have it that soon the game will change.

With hundreds of new Angeleno designers emerging every year, the fashion week creative volume has drastically expanded since its inception in late 1990s. Being organized biannually, in March and October, these series of events attract a multitude of industry professionals as well as random spectators going above and beyond to get “on a list”.

If you happen to be one of them – a poor fella with no connections yet, but with a sketch book full of doodled skirts and shorts in your pocket, or with the freshly purchased DSLR and big dreams to make it to the fashion show in Los Angeles, here are 5 PRODUCTION COMPANIES that stand behind the organization of famous runway shows, cocktail parties and new collection presentations.

5. FWLA

JM by JMonique • Spring Summer 2017 @real_jmonique @fwla Model: @kileyspurlock Hair & Makeup by: @michaelvincentacademy

FWLA promotes the business of fashion in Los Angeles by creating a robust ecosystem that supports:

Press/Media & Consumer Sales by providing tools that assist in engaging audiences while content is most valuable.

Wholesale Relationships by efficiently connecting Brands with wholesale targets in an environment that communicates customer value to apparel buyers.

It has already made 525MM impressions (worldwide), 80MM female engagements (USA)

Kimimi Swimwear by Elizabeth Arthur on the red carpet during Fashion Week in L.A. @kimimiswimwear #Fierce #Swim #FWLA #Runway

Here are a few notes about its grand vision:

No conceptual presentation can be presented. Emphasis given in following order: ready-to-wear, manufactured in California, domestically produced, domestic sourcing, locally designed, cost of retail goods, no minimum wage workers.

It has 70% focus on Press and 30% focus on Retailers.

Brands should present entire collection to buyers and press in an efficient format.

Floral angel vibes! Backstage with @jonathanmarcstein and his pretty little model #fwla #fall2016 #17hourstogo

Here are the initiatives FWLA has:

Serve local needs by utilizing the city’s unique strengths to deliver the first “Quintessentially Los Angeles” event.

Encourage designers to manufacturer locally/domestically.

Advocate for sustainable practices.

Promote the reduction of lowest paying wages, while maintaining affordable apparel.
