LA Fashion Weak . . . I mean Week
WSJ had an interesting article regarding LA Fashion Week . . . or the lack-there-of. The bad economy and the internet combined have stuck it to LA's week long show, (a) because no one wants to fly out to see less then a dozen designer's lines and (b) the internet has made marketing directly to the consumer a better use of budget than a run-way event. Not to mention the lack of corporate sponsors ( IMG, Mercedes, and Smashbox Studios all backed out ). Well judging from the city's tastes, i think if Tapout and Affliction had shows the entire population of Hollywood guidos and weekend warriors would sustain any sort of fashion week . . . but I don't think you'd see Anna Wintour or Kanye at that show. Just look at how bummy their website is, smh. The website alone makes Milan / Paris / NYC all look like better bets.
