Downtown LA Retail Holds Promise but No Guarantees for Success By Andrew Asch Retail Editor
Almost every night, bars and restaurants are hopping in downtown Los Angeles, a once-blighted area that is going through an unparalleled boom, but boutique retailers don’t feel like they entirely share in the city’s new prosperity. Earlier this year, a group of boutiques in downtown’s historic core neighborhood—Pale Violet, Curio, Haus of Love, and Buttons and Bows, a resale boutique co-owned by Karen Marley, daughter of reggae legend Bob Marley— all shuttered. It gave pause to the momentum that seemed to be driving a high-end boutique retail boom, taking place in a neighborhood that is experiencing a wave of housing construction and debuts of high-end bars and restaurants, such as Redbird, which has received critical praise and attracted gourmands from throughout the region. There’s a growing number of brands and retailers who

Venue: Bigger Brands, Bigger Venue By Andrew Asch Retail Editor
Venue, a trade show that started as a platform for emerging streetwear brands, went on a growth spurt for its May 19–20 run. The trade show moved to its biggest venue yet in its twoyear history. With 80 booths, the show filled 85 percent of the 60,000-square-foot second-floor events space at The Reef, formerly called the LA Mart, said Miles Canares, Venue’s founder. Venue’s previous address was the events space at the Cooper Design Space showroom building, where it hosted 50 booths in July. Previously a trade show for emerging brands, the recent Venue included high-profile labels such as LRG, Diamond Supply Co., Huf, Primitive, Black Scale and Crooks & Castles.

American Rag’s Chinese Fashion Diplomacy This summer, American Rag Cie is scheduled to open its first shop in China, and it will be stocked with many of the brands currently sold in American Rag’s high-profile shops in Los Angeles and Newport Beach, Calif.

They told him that the Chinese designers’ cachet would increase if their local fashion consumers knew that Americans also were buying the designers’ styles. While American Rag’s Chinese shop-inshop is decorated with a sense of pop-culture irony (for example, a seriouslooking black-and-white portrait of Chinese basketball star Yao Ming overlooks the shopin-shop), the American Rag in Shanghai will look very similar to the American Rag store in Los Angeles, including features such as Moroccan tiles and French trellises. The 6,500-square-foot boutique will be located off of Nan Ying Xie Road, which is one of Shanghai’s most fashionable streets.

Cherokee Acquires Everyday California Sherman Oaks, Calif.–based Cherokee Global Brands has acquired San Diego– based casual lifestyle brand Everyday California. Everyday California founders Michael Samer and Christopher Lynch will retain ownership of the brand and continue to run the company’s flagship store in La Jolla, Calif., selling men’s and women’s apparel, accessories and footwear through a licensing agreement with Cherokee Global Brands. Samer and Lynch will serve as global brand ambassadors for Everyday California, which becomes part of the Cherokee portfolio of brands, including Cherokee, Carole Little, Tony Hawk Signature Apparel and Hawk Brands, Liz Lange, and Sideout. “Everyday California’s global potential made the acquisition a perfect fit for Cherokee Global Brands,” said Henry Stupp, Cherokee’s chief executive officer, in a statement. “The brand is more than a state of mind. It’s a way of life! Many great active-lifestyle brands have been born in California, and we are confident that to-
gether with Mike and Chris we can take an already strong brand and make it even more successful.” Everyday California is part ocean equipment and tour provider and part lifestyle collection. The company offers surfboard, paddleboard, kayak and snorkel rentals as well as guided kayak tours of the La Jolla Ecological Reserve. Its California-sourced womenswear and menswear are sold at the La Jolla store as well as other locations throughout California. Everyday California will officially launch to the licensing community at the Cherokee Global Brands booth during the June 9–11 run of Licensing Expo in Las Vegas. “We have been actively working to identify new licensee partners for the brand,” Stupp said. “Several licensees have already been identified, and we expect to announce them shortly. In addition, through our global platform and expanded licensing network, we are confident that we shall be able to swiftly secure international partners for Everyday California.”—Alison A. Nieder

It opted to move into Young’s Market Building because it needed a bigger space, Archer said. WSS worked with the City of Los Angeles’ Office of Historic Resources to renovate and preserve the building, which is characterized by marble columns and terra-cotta friezes. During renovation, WSS still had to contend with fire damage from the 1992 riots. Robert Grosse, WSS’s vice president of design and construction, said the retailer pulled together historic ceilings, murals and grillwork with some new features.

LA City Council Votes to Raise Minimum Wage Los Angeles City Council members voted in favor of a minimum-wage hike from its current $9 per hour to $15 per hour by 2020. The next step is for the City Attorney’s Office to draft an ordinance that will need to be approved by the council. If approved, the increases would be made incrementally beginning next year. Small businesses with less than 25 employees would be exempt until 2021. A proposal on paid time off has been put on hold for now.
Since Mayor Eric Garcetti first proposed raising the city’s minimum wage last year, the issue has drawn sharp criticism among the apparel-manufacturing community. The recent City Council vote exceeds Garcetti’s original proposal of raising the wage to $13.25. Over the last year, there has been a national push to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour. San Francisco and Seattle have raised their minimum-wage rates to $15 per hour. The federal minimum wage currently stands at $7.25.
earth campaign that exceeds all bounds of propriety,” charging that he “trespassed on company property, interfered with company conference calls and criticized company employees for the manner in which they handled these calls, demanded employees handle the day-to-day operations of the company in accordance with his instructions, called employees on the telephone demanding company information such as sales reports, and threatened employees who refuse to support his return by taking their photographs and promising to fire them when he returns to power.” The suit further states that Charney has “sabotaged” the company’s relationship with suppliers, has interfered with potential financing sources, and “flagrantly and repeatedly made a number of disparaging comments about the company to the press” in violation of the standstill agreement. Moreover, the suit says Charney has participated in employee meetings, “rallying them to circulate flyers touting the fact that ‘Dov is fighting in the courts to regain control of the company.’” According to the suit, he standstill agreement precludes Charney from serving as a board member, seeking removal of a board member or proposing a nominee for the board—or enlisting anyone else to do so— until after the 2015 annual meeting. Fink disagreed, saying the standstill agreement does not prevent Charney from returning to the company as CEO. “Does Mr. Charney want to take back the company? You bet! Does he expect to take back the company? You bet!” he said. “The standstill agreement doesn’t prevent his desire or efforts to take back the company. It

Accordingly, each party agrees that in addition to other remedies the other party shall be entitled to at law or equity, the other party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this agreement exclusively in the court of chancery or other federal or state courts of the state of Delaware.” American Apparel is requesting injunctive relief “prohibiting Mr. Charney from continuing to breach or further breaching the terms of the standstill agreement” as well as “further relief as the court deems just and proper,” such as attorneys’ fees. Fink dismissed the suit as a “weak public-relations move” to divert attention from Charney’s defamation lawsuits, the arbitration proceeding against American Apparel for breach of Charney’s employment contract, “and additional legal actions the company knows are coming down the pike.” The attorney said he expects the company’s lawsuit to be dismissed quickly. “Delaware, like many states, has an antiSLAPP statute designed to dispose of lawsuits like this,” he said. (A strategic lawsuit against public participation or SLAPP lawsuit is one intended to censor criticism or intimidate a party into abandoning their opposition.) ●

Salon Allure to Expand and Rename Itself Hammock After five years producing the boutique swim trade event Salon Allure, Rick Fatzinger, the event’s managing partner, announced that his team will double the size of the event and rename it Hammock. “It is Salon Allure Volume Two,” Fatzinger said of the show, which takes place at the W South Beach hotel in Miami Beach. “With events, we always like to keep them fresh.” He noted that the event’s production company will continue to be called Salon Allure. Babalú, a Miami boutique chain, joined Salon Allure as a creative partner to shape the new look and feel of Hammock, Fatzinger said. The brands exhibiting at Salon Allure will grow from 40 to more than 80. Brands will continue to exhibit in private hotel suites with views of the ocean. The show also will introduce an open-forum space, which will be housed in the W’s 4,400-square-foot Great Room space on the hotel’s lobby floor. “The suites are geared toward pre-arranged appointments,” Fatzinger said. “For brands looking for more walk-around traffic, we wanted to offer an open-forum space.” The Salon Allure production company will offer showroom signs, lighting, fixtures and
divider walls for those brands exhibiting in the Great Room. Buyers will also be able to take the opportunity to view brands in a private suite and check out brands in a conventional tradeshow experience in the Great Room. During Hammock’s first season, it will feature 20 non-apparel brands, including beauty products and accessories such as eyewear. Swimwear brands exhibiting at Hammock will include Mikoh, Luxe by Lisa Vogel, Blue Life, Beach Bunny, Honey Bee Swim and Frankie’s Bikinis.
Runway shows planned in Miami Salon Allure gained note as one of the swim-centric shows surrounding MercedesBenz Fashion Week Swim. However, Fashion Week Swim’s producer, IMG, put its glamorous week of runway shows on hiatus in 2015. Fatzinger declined to comment on whether IMG’s news will affect Hammock. However, his events-production company, called SBI, has been working with another events company, LDJ Productions, to organize runway events at the W’s Wet Lounge and the ballroom at the 1 Hotel South Beach in Miami Beach.—Andrew Asch

Kali Kartel, a San Juan, Puerto Rico–based brand, wanted to introduce its high-end streetwear brand in California and the U.S. mainland, said Felix Rosado, the brand’s sales manager. Freelance, a Hawaii-headquartered brand, made its third appearance at Venue, said Kiki King, a co-owner. “You can only connect so much on Instagram and email. It’s not the same as a human connection,” she said. At Venue King networked with owners of other brands and media. Nyzak, a downtown Los Angeles clothing brand, also made its trade-show debut at Venue. Retailers reportedly visiting the show
were Tilly’s; Forever 21; Nordstrom Rack; Jimmy Jazz; a New York–headquartered chain; boutiques such as Attic and P’s & Q’s from Philadelphia and King & Duck from Scottsdale, Ariz.; and Culture Kings, an Australian retailer. Canares acknowledged that there were grumblings from exhibitors about low buyer traffic. He said that Venue hopes to build traffic by serving as an alternative show. Instead of running shows during the major seasons for Spring and Fall, Venue will produce shows for the Holiday and Spring II seasons. The show also hosted an art show featuring the work of Knowledge Bennett, a New York artist, and some produced two industry panels. One panel featured participation of brand chiefs Dennis Calvero of Crooks & Castles, James Bond of Undefeated and Lanie Alabanza of Hellz Bellz. ●

Members of the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA), which represents shipping lines and terminal operators, voted to ratify a new five-year contract with the International Longshore & Warehouse Union. The contract, which will run through June 30, 2019, now needs to be ratified by the ILWU. The contract includes an arbitration system designed to “support waterfront stability, capacity growth and productivity,” according to a statement released by the PMA, which warns that the West Coast ports are poised to face increased competition with the scheduled opening of the expanded Panama Canal. Among the provisions in the agreement are changes to the employer-paid healthcare plan to “foster greater efficiency, cost containment and fraud prevention for the long term.” The contract also includes wage and pension increases for ILWU members. “The West Coast ports are an economic engine for the United States, supporting millions of workers and trillions in economic impact,” said PMA President and Chief Executive Officer Jim McKenna. “The disruptions that occurred during negotiations, and the inconvenience and hardship created by them, were regrettable. We look forward to building upon the incredible advantages West Coast ports offer and winning back the trust and confidence of the shipping community. This contract provides important tools to accomplish that.” The ILWU ratification vote is expected to be announced May 22.—Alison A. Nieder

The design school’s B.F.A. and M.F.A. graduates showcased their work on the runway, including collaborations between students in the Academy of Art’s fashion design, knitwear design, menswear design, technical design and textile design programs. The show included a capsule collection created by 12 fashion design and textile design students to celebrate the 30th anniversary of BCBG Max Azria’s Hervé Léger brand. M.F.A. fashion design student Nina Hui was chosen for the Hervé Léger internship program. “We see our role in these designers’ education as going beyond the classroom,” said Dr. Elisa Stephens, president of the Academy of Art University. “We are committed to help launch our students’ careers and have their collections seen by as many industry professionals as possible.

Downtown LA Continued from page 1 see opportunity and tough setbacks in one of the fastestgrowing neighborhoods in California. Some thrive. Many want to stay in the game in a neighborhood that many believe is on an irreversible path to blossoming.
Cool factor Alejandro Rodriguez opened a flagship for his independent brand, Beautiful Fül, at 107 W. Fifth St. in downtown Los Angeles’ Historic Core district in 2013. Earlier this year, almost all of the other high-end businesses closed on his street, which borders the city’s Skid Row district. After Curio, which was a storefront down from Beautiful Fül, shuttered, a dance studio and a high-end convenience store also closed. Rodriguez had the only anchor left on a street that is often traveled by fashionable young people as well as the homeless. But Rodriguez wouldn’t think of moving. Downtown Los Angeles is the only place in the region where he could rent out a 2,200-square-foot space in a historic building for a low price. The area is a small enough pool where an emerging brand such as his can make a statement, he said. Also, running a shop in this part of town makes a state-
ment. “Downtown Los Angeles is pushing ideas, culture and art. If you are here, it shows people that you are at the forefront of creative culture,” Rodriguez said. A lot of high-profile brands and retailers are attracted by the urban grit and early-20th-century high-rise buildings that are reminiscent of New York’s East Village and Brooklyn, said Jay Luchs, a high-profile real estate broker for NewmarkGrubbKnightFrank. “They are vintage looking. They are authentic,” Luchs said of the buildings in downtown’s Historic Core district. It’s a great place to showcase a brand. Prices for a square foot of retail space in the most popular parts of downtown Los Angeles’ Broadway range from $2 to $7, Luchs said. It will take time before downtown Los Angeles meets its potential, he said. “It doesn’t happen overnight. You’d only go there now if you can handle not having 50 tenants next to you,” he said. “It’s not too late to be an innovator.”
Long revitalization In recent decades, developers have been renovating historic buildings in Los Angeles and affluent people have started moving in. Los Angeles City Councilman José Hui-
zar helped found the Bringing Back Broadway initiative to help revive the Broadway thoroughfare that traverses the Fashion and Historic Core districts. In December 2013, the first of a new wave of high-end stores opened in downtown Los Angeles’ Fashion District and Historic Core District. Swedish brand Acne Studios opened a flagship store at Ninth and Broadway, at the edge of downtown Los Angeles’ Fashion District. When the Ace Hotel opened a couple of blocks away from Acne, it seemed to confirm that the long-dormant area was burgeoning and the area around the Fashion District was a good investment. Since then, a number of high-end stores have moved into the Fashion District. French brand A.P.C. is scheduled to open a boutique this summer in the Fashion District. New York’s Oak multi-brand boutique opened across from Ace. Australian retailer BNKR is scheduled to open in late 2015 between the Ace and Acne. It will be BNKR’s first store in the United States, and Marco Lebel, the company’s chief executive officer for America, was bullish. “It is the fastest-growing neighborhood in Los Angeles, potentially [in] the country, and we are beyond excited

Monica, Calif.–based shop Ron Robinson. He said his business did not skip a beat when it moved from Third Street in the Art District to Hewitt Street. “It is what we tried to do without the hoopla,” he said. “If highend luxury restaurants can work in downtown Los Angeles, so can high-end luxury retail. This is destination retail.” No Season opened at 110 Winston St. in downtown Los Angeles in November. Emily and Keith Wilson, a brother-and-sister team, chose to stay open relatively late—until 9 p.m.—most nights. They stay open late because their neighborhood is populated by night birds. “It’s a lunch, dinner and drinks crowd,” Emily Watson said.

Downtown LA Continued from page 7 to be a part of the Bring Back Broadway movement, which is organically developing daily,” Lebel said. “For this reason, DTLA will also act as a strategic marketing vehicle for Australian Fashion Labels Ltd. in showcasing our retail concept to buyers and industry leaders.” Despite the headlines trumpeting highend retailers coming to town, change has come too slowly for some retailers. Eric Martin owns the Seven Points boutique at the Lady Liberty Building, located at 845 S. Los Angeles St. in the Fashion District. The boutique is housed in a storefront area near his showroom, The Park. He said his neighborhood is not ready for premium contemporary retail, which Seven Points offers. “Do I think it’s a gamble for the next 24 months? Absolutely. There’s still not the clientele down here,” he said.
