FBI Teams With Ebay for Fashion Week
Ebay is coming to Los Angeles Fashion Week.
To kick off the auction Web site’s new online shop for Los Angeles fashion, Ebay has teamed with Fashion Business Incorporated to hold a launch party on the roof of the Downtown Standard hotel on Oct. 28. The party will also feature a runway show of current and former FBI member companies, according to FBI founder Frances Harder, who said her organization is currently looking for an established designer to anchor the emerging designers show.
Ebay’s Los Angeles fashion site will be a venue for FBI members and other local designers and manufacturers to sell excess inventory, said Harder, adding that Ebay is currently looking for name brands to put up for auction. Other plans in discussion include holding a weekly online sample sale on the Ebay site, she added.
“The idea is to have an Ebay site that is regionally based and they’re starting with Los Angeles—which I think is exciting,” she said. —Alison A. Nieder
