LAFW Returns With a Focus on Diversity on the Runway

After a long hiatus during the Covid pandemic LAFW has officially returned with in person shows this October at the Peterson Automotive museum. With a line up of exciting up and coming talent as well as some established Hollywood names the runway shows this year are making a splash in the LAFW comeback season. This season the runway also has a special focus on diversity with the, LAFW Diversity & Disability initiative. This year's events feature current and former Paralympians and athletes who will be closing out the season with an exclusive runway sports show unlike any other. Led by Disability & Diversity Advocate Steven Tingus, this promises to be a highlight of the entire season. 

 "LA has become the streetwear & Red-carpet fashion capital of the world. As part of this cultural renaissance, we're excited to be leaders behind this movement into a premier hub for fashion, art, design and entertainment. That's why the event has become more experiential than ever before," says Arthur Chipman, Executive Producer of LAFW.

The season promises to be an exciting return to in person events with partners such as Stella Artois, L'Oreal, and held at the iconic Peterson Automotive Museum. You can find out more at www.lafw.net

LAFW is one of LA’s most recognized fashion event brands and they are known for putting on some great shows. Each year the group changes it up and always has a new and interesting theme that keeps guests coming back. The show has taken place at some of LA’s most exclusive venues including, the rooftop lounge at the W Hollywood Hotel, Union Station, and many more. This year LAFW is going all out and has announced the Petersen Automotive museum as their fall 2018 venue. The LA museum is a popular attraction for automotive enthusiasts since it houses some of the world’s most elite cars from brands like Ferrari, BMW and more. It also has several classic models for those who love retro styles. With its unique architecture and backdrop of rare vehicles this venue is the perfect place to host a fashion show. Is this a hint at the lineup for this Fall’s designers? Perhaps we’ll be seeing some mechanical influences on the fashions coming down the runway this year. Either way it will no doubt be a success for the LAFW brand.
