Designers & Agents held its fall '11/Holiday show at the LA Fashion District's New Mart Building this week. This independent, international trade fair for over 1,000 collections and thousands of retailers typically attract 3,000 retail and media visitors each season. The environment and brands are pre-edited, art-directed, and merchandised to create a sense of camaraderie and discovery. As a result, the comment trend among the exhibits was an earthy, navajo-inspired, eco-friendly theme. This highlights D&A's sustainable design movement called Green Initiative. It has helped grow the show to a gifted eco-conscious showcase of dozens of ecological minded vendors and artists interspersed among D & A’s hundreds of presenting designers.
