The Event: Premier event for the Los Angeles Fashion Awards at the Orpheum Theater, Los Angeles last October 21, 2005.

How do you get in? This event is open to the public. Tickets are available at all Ticketmaster Ticket Centers or ticketmasters.com.

Why is it interesting to attend? This is a premier event hosted by Melissa Rivers. A night of interaction introducing a diverse group of rising stars and industry leaders who have contributed in making Los Angeles a global fashion center. It's basically an awards night for Los Angeles based editors, stylists, designers and retailers.

This is a good way of knowing "Who's-who" in the fashion industry and hear good inspiring messages from the renowned professionals in the business.

What to expect? Prior to the show is an hour of interaction with other guests attending the event while waiting for everybody (all other celebrities, nominees and other VIPs invited). They serve Hors d' oeuvres, drinks and music!

Parking is not difficult. Bring cash. It's self parking. The Orpheum Theater is beautiful but you know how crowded it is around the Los Angeles district. If you're not familiar with the area, watch out for a lot of one-way streets!

What to wear? Evening Dresses or clothes that make a statement! If you can't come up with one, you can't go wrong Wearing Black in Los Angeles!
