Seeing people who "follow fashion trends" can sometimes be very interesting...even amusing.
I'll admit I don't like some of them, but I find it interesting never the less.
I've held onto old clothes I wore in the 70's...seems some have come back in fashion again...at least according to my adult children they have.
Personally I just wear what's comfortable..be it fashionable or not.
Why do so many people follow fashion trends? Is it not one of the dumbest things to do? Oh, some freak in Los Angeles said that this is how I should dress for this year, so by all means this is how I am going to dress.
You obviously know nothing about fashion. The major forces are in New York and Paris and other similar cities.
Weather drives the fashion industry because weather requires clothing changes twice a year, and the fashion industry takes advantage of that.
Los Angeles? LOLOL! We don't even have weather in Los Angeles. While I suppose there is a fashion industry presence in LA (and in all large metropolitan areas) LA could hardly be regarded as a trend setter. There is the movie and music industry in Hollywood, and they are probably in league with the fashion industry (and other industries for e.g. product placement in films). But LA as a fashion center? Meh. You got the wrong city.

While the typical seasons are Spring and Fall, some higher end brands do more collections. While some do separate Summer and Winter collections, many brands instead now offer Pre-Fall and/or Resort/Cruise, with Pre-Fall typically being lighter weight clothes in fall colors that is typically released in May and Resort/Cruise typically being warm weather clothes for vacationers that is usually launched around November. Also, in menswear there is often is a "Holiday" collection, which are clothes typically in Christmas styles (although the term "Holiday" is sometimes used as a synonym for Resort/Cruise with some brands).

Please excuse my rudeness. Upon re-reading my post it sounds snotty. I'm sorry.
I was merely quarreling with your using Los Angeles as part of the fashion design industry. We do have a garment district, I'm sure there are fashion houses here, but L.A. is not any kind of fashion center like New York or Paris. It appears to me that the fashion industry is seasonally driven, and we just don't have any seasons in L.A. to compare to N.Y. or Paris.
I've been reading your posts and they have been very informative. Keep up the good work!

White LA is not typically part of the 'big four' (worldwide) it is usually listed as #5 or somewhere in the top 10. For the US it is certainly almost always listed as the #2 fashion city. Not that these titles mean that much, but in the industry it is almost always considered a fashion center.
I suspect that's because of Hollywood. Subtract Hollywood and IMO L.A. would be a 'meh' city.
I don't see much fashion at all in everyday life. Even work is mostly casual wear except at upper levels.
interesting. i dont live there but ive visited a lot and in my opinion during those times, it is a very 'aesthetic' and superficial city.
But one of the other reasons it is considered a fashion center/capital is that it has some of the top/most famous design schools there. The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising being a big one there, but there are others as well.
