The Melrose Trading Post (MTP) at Fairfax High School has been a consistent hub for LA’s fashion creatives since 1997.  Local clothing designers, jewelry designers, vintage lovers and artists flock to MTP to sell their designs, source materials and network with LA’s up and coming designers.  

Greenway Arts Alliance, the organization that runs MTP, is spotlighting LA’s local and sustainable fashion world with Melrose Fashion Week.  

The team at Greenway is shaping this week of local fashion events, and currently looking for partners, designers and stylists to be part of these events.   The team is looking for models and influencers to participate in the runway show, local photographers and event sponsors.
