LOS ANGELES, Aug. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- LA Fashion Week
(LAFW) presents its third season of collections at The Hollywood
Athletic Club, from September 28 to October 2, 2016. The SS17 event will

revolutionary high-fashion brand, Bezgraniz Couture- Fashion Without Borders.
"Los Angeles is quickly
establishing itself as one of the premiere creative capitals of the US.
We're curating the coolest talent this city has ever seen - from
designers and top artists, to street style influencers and music. We
want to be at the forefront of this movement," said Arthur Chipman, the
Executive Producer of LAFW. "There's so much amazing energy flowing
through our city, and we're excited to kick off our event by celebrating
the best of LA."
For the first time, LA
Fashion Week has curated a diverse group of Ambassadors; people who are
strong voices in the fashion and creative communities of Los Angeles. By
telling our own story through the voices of these innovative and
influential people who understand our mission, LAFW seeks to elevate the
national and global perception of Fashion Week in Los Angeles. LA
Fashion Week is not just a fashion show. We aim to expand our presence
and those of our partners', creating a stronger, more successful market
for LA.
LAFW's Spring/Summer 2017's
design talent will be exploring new ways to experience each brand's
vision. LA-based label Samsara will present a livestreamed fashion
performance featuring a multi-media fusion of music, fashion, and
theater, kicking off a world tour that will redefine how fashion can be
presented. International brands including JAJAKA by Ivan Gunawan,
Marcelo Quadros, and Cindy Wei Zhang will land in LA to showcase their
