LA-LA-Land; Los Angeles: the city where dreams are spun to gold, the city where the only thing burning brighter than its golden rays are its gilded spotlights…it’s a fever dream of a place. Enough to send your head spinning faster than the revolving door of fame it’s also known for. Expect the speed of that spin to accelerate to that of light as Los Angeles Fashion Week (LAFW) looms ever closer.

As physics would have it, you can’t be everywhere all at once (unless you’re Miu Miu’s quilted leather napa bag this season). Ergo, you’ll require a little insider knowledge to dial you into the 90210 and guide your trek. Lucky you, we’ve racked up the hottest—and we do mean scorching—events to hit up this edition of LAFW.

If you’re reading this list, you’ve likely come for the clothes—and quite right (it is fashion week, after all). This season’s coterie of all-star labels to choose from, presenting their newest threads way out West are Private Policy, TOMBOGO, R!O, and BruceGlen. Keeping spirits high with a festive verve, Ed Hardy and Theophilio each return to the City of Angels not with a bang but with two: a fashion show and a party. Anticipate plenty of party-popping steez and sleaze over at Hardy’s camp and the pulsing vibrance of dance-hall coded revelry at Theophilio’s.

Like any fashion week, Los Angeles fixes its gaze on the future, where creatives attempt to decipher it on the runway. Off the runway, however, LAFW’s N4XT Chat series welcomes a mélange of fashion and fashion-adjacent industry luminaries for panels and events to help decode it. From Nike’s Sport X Style X Culture panel that dives deep into the intersection of creative and sports industries to that hosted by EM Cosmetics and NYX with critical insights on the beauty industry, these talks are simply ones you won’t want to miss.  

While some may try to answer the big Q of what comes next at LAFW, filmmaker, author, and artist Mark Bozek looks to the past, sparking inspiration for the accolades of tomorrow. The kindle of that spark? The screening of his posthumous retrospective on the godfather of street style, “The Life and Times of Bill Cunningham.” Progressing the tribute to Cunningham’s legacy from the projector and onto the page, Bozek will join attendees post-screening for a signing of his latest book, “The Battle of Versailles,” whose pages feature Cunningham’s images, chronicling the triumph of another momentous achievement of the past, that of the new wave of American fashion designers of the 1970s.

Now that the city will play host to the creative whims of designers, artists, and content creators, there’ll be nothing short of madness to ensue as the fashion industry takes over Tinseltown. And if daunted by the mere thought of LA’s notorious traffic—stand at ease. All events will unfold on the posh premises of the W Hotel.
