However, APFW is more than just a slew of international runway shows. Textiles, accessories, and artistic objects are also on display.

APFW chose Los Angeles as its debut location due to the city’s growing importance in the global fashion industry, with a regular stream of big-name designers establishing roots in the city.

As a result, many fashion experts think that L.A. is the place to be.

After London, Milan, Paris, and New York, Los Angeles is now the world’s “fifth fashion capital.”

In its first year, APFW aims to raise public awareness about sustainability issues while focusing on “green fashion.”
