The Men's Fashion Week Los Angeles (MFWLA) was the bi-annual Los Angeles edition of the Men's Fashion Week. The first edition was planned to take place in 2013.
History
[edit]The first edition of the Men's Fashion Week Los Angeles was planned to take place in 2013.[1][2]
Description
[edit]Los Angeles was the 5th city in the world to develop a Fashion Week for menswear, succeeding New York, London, Paris and Vancouver.[3]
During the event, menswear fashion designers and retail brands presented their latest collections to industry insiders—press, media, bloggers, buyers, stylists, high-profile guests and fashion occult. Men's Fashion Week LA was planned twice a year: January (Autumn/Winter); and June (Spring/Summer). The one-week event was planned a few days preceding the traditional (women's) Los Angeles Fashion Week.
The event MFWLA consists of fashion week runway shows, trade show style exhibits and market week type custom pop-up showrooms. Additional amenities found at Men's Fashion Week LA are a “Gentry Suite”, “Cigar Lounge”, “Pop-Up Barber Shop”, “Gaming Suite” and a “Bow Tie Technique Suite”.
To reflect the original working-name, “Gentlemen’s Week”, a bow tie was linked to the company logo.[2] The bow tie personifies MFWLA's company philosophy, which (as indicated by the company website) was founded on honor and civility among aesthete gentlemen.
