CMC Sets Market, Textile Dates for Spring
The California Market Center has moved the Los Angeles International Textile Show dates to eliminate a conflict with the new Los Angeles Contemporary Market dates in March, but the building is keeping its April market dates.
CMC executives have listed the new Contemporary Market dates, March 20–24, and Los Angeles International Textile Show dates, March 30–April 1, as well as the existing Los Angeles Market dates, April 8–12, on the CMC Web site (www.californiamarketcenter.com).
The split market dates came about after New York–based trade show Designers & Agents and contemporary and designer showroom The Bank announced plans to hold their market in mid-March rather than April. Organizers said the new dates will encourage European lines to show in Los Angeles and buyers will have remaining funds left to place orders for the Fall season. Designers & Agents will run March 20–23.
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios in Culver City, Calif., also announced a date change, shifting its runway shows to March 16–20, and Brighte Companies, organized by New York–based ENK Shows, plans to hold its trade show March 20–24.
