'Project Runway' Contestant Brings Line in Focus at Focus
Althea Harper
For the upcoming Los Angeles Fashion Market starting Jan. 15, the organizers of the Focus show at the California Market Center are bringing a bit of the "Project Runway" vibe to the event.
The collection by "Project Runway" runner-up Althea Harper will be front and center when Focus opens in the building's penthouse on Friday. Harper, on the sixth season of the fashion TV show, is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati School of Design, Art, Architecture and Planning. She is now represented by the Altitude Showroom in San Francisco.
Harper will join other emerging designers showing their lines to buyers searching for fresh looks for this summer. Other exhibitors include swimwear line Anahi Blue, ready-to-wear Li Cari and contemporary clothes by Marissa Erskine.
