In what promises to be a week filled with style, innovation, and immersive experiences, N4XT Experiences has unveiled the official calendar for LA Fashion Week (LAFW) 2023. Running from October 18th to 22nd, the week is set to redefine fashion events with its groundbreaking presentations and discussions.
Kicking off LAFW, the Imitation of Christ‘s presentation on October 18th promises to be an avant-garde spectacle, setting the pace for the rest of the week. Celebrated brands and designers like Theophilio, Sergio Hudson, Advirsy, Luis De Javier, Simkhai, Neon Cowboys, Gypsy Sport, and Tombogo are ready to mesmerize audiences with their creativity and craft. With No Sesso closing the week on a high note on October 22nd, attendees are in for a memorable style journey.
Going beyond the runway, LAFW brings back N4XT Chats, a forum designed to initiate thought-provoking conversations about the fashion industry. A major highlight will be a fireside chat featuring industry stalwarts Bethann Hardison and Maxwell Osborne on October 19th. The dialogue promises to shed light on their journey, their inspirations, and their views on the evolving landscape of fashion. Adding to the intellectual fervor, a panel discussion with global brand Nike on October 21st will offer insights into the synergy of sportswear and fashion.
LAFW 2023 is not just about watching; it’s about experiencing. With its array of immersive experiences, attendees will have the chance to interact with fashion in entirely new ways. The Beautylab, in collaboration with Lancôme, will spotlight the intersection of beauty, technology, and sustainability, giving guests a firsthand look at the future of cosmetics.
Moreover, in a bid to digitize the fashion experience, LAFW will present virtual showcases, thanks to its partnership with SAP.iO, BigThinx, and Obsess. But the pièce de résistance promises to be the SAP SE Experience tent. Here, attendees can not only watch designers present their work but also select designs for instant purchase, transforming the passive viewing experience into an active shopping spree.
