In partnership with Vogue International, Style & Society and Destination Luxury, the LAFW SS18 event will feature nearly 20 award-winning designers and artists from Los Angeles and around the world.

Praised for "raising awareness of cultural diversity and creativity in the United States," Executive Producer, Arthur T. Chipman and the LA Fashion Week Team were recently recognized by the honorable Office of Michelle & Barack Obama for being innovators in the industry.
