FutureFashion L.A.

The scene: Sometimes party talk turns into an excellent party. Last fall, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, inspired by his daughter’s love of fashion and a recent trip through Los Angeles’ Fashion Market, casually offered to host a cocktail party for the fashion industry. On a perfectly balmy afternoon a mix of fashion designers, celebrities, fashion advocates, tastemakers, stylists and editors gathered the Getty House, Villaraigosa’s residence, to take him up on the offer.

Organized by Designers and Agents, the CFDA, the Los Angeles Times’ Image section, the Los Angeles Times Magazine and Earth Pledge, the event included a fashion installation by 17 designers. Each designer used sustainable fabrics sourced from Earth Pledge’s sustainable fabric library to create a look that reflected their aesthetic without sacrificing style. Participating designers included Bahar Shahpar, Deborah Lindquist, Erica Tanov, Hazel Brown, Imitation by Imitation of Christ, Magda Berliner, Organi, Rozae Nichols, Skin, Stewart + Brown, Suss, The Stronghold, Tree, Trina Turk, Trovata and VPL. —Erin Barajas
