When you think of LA Fashion Week, this is likely the event that comes to mind. This year's event features designers like Ashton Michaels and Ivy Citizens showing off their collections on various runways at Union Station. The event started midweek but goes through the weekend with shows tonight through Sunday. Registration is needed to attend and are accepted at LAFW's website.

From October 14-18, designers will flood the various runways at Style Fashion Week, including Andre Soriano, Christina Milian - We Are Pop Culture, Marco Marco, Lulu et Gigi, A'QUA Swimwear and more. Events take place at the Reef in Downtown LA. There's a full schedule of the runway show's on the group's website, and you also have RSVP there to attend. While fashion is at the forefront of this group's week, Style Fashion Week is also using the week to highlight urban artists at its Art Venue LA event, also taking place at the Reef.

All of that and more will be discussed Monday, October 12, at 5:30pm at this panel on beauty standards, including the latest in skincare trends, ingredients and manufacturing products that compliment and finish off your contemporary looks. The event is part of FWLA, which is only open to "accredited press, influential bloggers, retailers, celebrities and analysts." However, you can register to attend on the event's website. All FWLA events take place at Union Station.
