Gen Art Announces Fresh Faces Lineup
Gen Art’s 10th annual Fresh Faces in Fashion young designer showcase will kick off Los Angeles Fashion Week on Oct. 12 at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. The 12 featured designers were selected by Gen Art with recommendations from industry editors and stylists.
This year's lineup includes womenswear brands CW Christian Weber, Dorothy Lee, Marlova, Rhys Dwfen, Suh-Than and Wren. Two menswear collections, Endovanera and Orthodox, will also be shown on the runway, while accessories brands Anita Hopkins, Cerre, Mannin Collection and Shane Belt Buckle will be featured in installations.
“We’re very excited about our 10th anniversary show,” said Jennifer Egan, Gen Art’s vice president of business development in Los Angeles. “We’re going to be honoring the past while looking to the future.” To help mark the occasion, Gen Art has invited local alumni designers, including Ashley Paige, Corey Lynn Calter, Cosa Nostra designer Jeffrey Sebelia, Eduardo Lucero, Louis Verdad, Rami Kashou and Society for Rational Dress designer Corine Grassini, to join in the festivities. Gen Art is producing a video featuring interviews with alumni designers and glimpses from past runway shows. —Erin Barajas
