The future of LA Fashion Week hangs in the balance as Smashbox and event organizer IMG part ways after this year's shows are over. Will the potential loss of LA Fashion Week make an impact on the fashion community?

"With its celebrity culture, Los Angeles should be a bastion for star designers that want to show their wares," stated Andrea Grant, Managing Editor of theFashionSpot. "At the end of the day anyone wanting to be considered a legitimate designer wants to show at Bryant Park."
