Design Starts Here
Fashion will be center stage for the Port of Los Angeles’ centennial celebration when a fashion show will be presented July 12, 2007, in Grand Hope Park next to the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising at 919 S. Grand Ave. in downtown L.A.
Ilse Metchek of the California Fashion Association said the show would incorporate other design-oriented industries, such as interior design, textiles and home furnishings.
“We’ll be showing a lot of holiday things that come through the port in July,” Metchek said. “There will be Christmas trees lining the park with all the balls and bangles. We’ll be showing Holiday fashions from brand names. We’re hoping people like Patagonia can participate.” —Deborah Belgum
