PI Apparel LA 2022 VENUE
The melting pot of fashion, style and culture in Los Angeles is what makes this event so unique.
West Coast couture has a widespead appeal and the City of Angels' massive base of fashion influencers has cemented its place on the map of global fashion hubs.
Homegrown brands such as Fred Segal and 7 For All Mankind have come to represent SoCal cool while A-listers from pro-surfer Kelly Slater, musician Beck to designer Tom Ford are all breathing life into the LA fashion scene.
We simply cannot wait to be back with our West Coast friends in February.
