Last Thursday, October 15, the LA Fashion District BID hosted it's first-ever "An Urban Dinner Party." The event was a grand success! The dinner featured a four-course meal by Chef Felix Barron, IV of KTCHN LA. Guests were seated at 96-foot-long table in the middle of Santee Street and were treated to a tour of the newly renovated Garment Lofts. If you missed the event, you can see photos on our Instagram and Facebook. We'll be posting the official event photos in the next few days.
We'd like to thank our sponsors Universal Protection Service, Garment Lofts, Finca La Malena, California Flower Mall, Happening in DTLA, Santee Village Lofts, Textile Building, Coffee CoLAb, Joe's Parking, and Strategic Legacy Management for their generous contributions.

Designer denim line, Citizens of Humanity, relocated its Beverly Boulevard pop-up to a permanent showroom space in the Lady Liberty Building, with the goal of having headquarters work alongside their sales team. The 4,000-square-foot showroom was designed by Montalba Architects, the same folks who designed Isabel Marant's and The Row's LA stores. The new showroom was featured on Racked LA and LA Downtown News.

LA Fashion Market Spring 2016
The Fashion District hosted the Spring 2016 LA Fashion Market October 12-15. Designer showrooms welcomed buyers from around the world including notable names like American Rag, Barneys New York, Kitson, StitchFix.com, and Zappos. Sales reps reported an upbeat market with many buyers placing orders on immediates. California Apparel News noted that the unseasonably warm weather made many wary of placing too much emphasis on fall items creating opportunity for spring collections. LA Fashion Market was covered extensively by Apparel News. The stories are linked below.
Racked LA also stopped by LA market and snapped photos of their favorites from Designers & Agents and Coeur. See their picks here.
