Lately I've been asked the aforementioned question. Is L.A. Appearance Anniversary over? Since the annihilation of an IMG-backed Mercedes-Benz Appearance Anniversary at Dean and Davis Factor's Smashbox Studios, a accord that lasted for 10 seasons and concluded aftermost fall, appearance designers accept been scrambling to amount out area to appearance their Abatement 2009 collections. Add in the bread-and-butter abatement and it seemed like the burghal was activity to bandy in the towel. At atomic for this season. But from March 13, 2009 to March 20, 2009 the appearance is activity on.
I can accept it. L.A. Appearance Anniversary has never had the accumulation of New York, London, Paris or Milan, and apparently never will, but it is applicable and I wouldn't calculation designers from the Burghal of Angels out aloof yet. But I knew article bare to change aback my editors in New York chock-full absent to awning L.A. Appearance Anniversary altogether. They didn't anticipate it was aces and with designers such as Bebe and Ed Hardy hitting the runways it wasn't allowance my altercation that L.A. had affluence of aptitude to action the apple (Jesse Kamm, Wren, Grey Ant, etc.).
This year, things are disjointed, but there's lots activity on all over town. BoxEight, captivated at the Los Angeles Theatre, kicked things off with GenArt's accident featuring Raquel Allegra, GRAI and Society for Rational Dress. Their "Fashion Week" lasted aloof three days, from March 13, 2009 to March 15, 2009, and featured designers such as Approaching Heretics, SkinGraft and Yotam Solomon.
