Los Angeles Fashion Week in March is looking pretty scant.
The LA Times notes that
Reveal Los Angeles a new hybrid runway show/fashion expo scheduled to launch March 20 during the fall shows has delayed their debut until the spring showings next October. This leaves Gen Art's New Garde and BOXeight as the main showcases for a week that is lacking big name excitement. Smashbox Studios ,which produced the twice-yearly Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week runway shows with events producer IMG for the last 10 seasons, held their last shows in October. Davis Factor of Smashbox was planning a new fashion event but is waiting until October as well. Since it seems that Los Angeles Fashion Week in March will be without a central location designers will have to get creative to lure people to their shows or simply decide to forgo the experience entirely. Designer Kevan Hall is planing a charity runway show at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel on March 19 and we will likely see other events scheduled at hotels and other venues during that week. I wonder if this will lead to many deciding to forgo Los Angeles fashion week all together. That would be a shame. Los Angeles fashion week has always lacked the spectacle and allure of the big New York shows but it does provide a way for smaller talented designers to be seen.

As a working model I've noticed a huge decline in LA Fashion week's appeal over the last few seasons. It's a pity really. There are a lot of very talented new designers here who could use the Fashion Week platform to attain great things without having to stretch to the cost of getting to NYC.
