Anime Los Angeles recently returned to the Long Beach Convention Center, and they had several amazing events that brought people from all over the country. One of those events that has proven to be consistently popular is their Fashion Show. Taking place on the second day of the convention, this year's show featured seven designers and a half time show that featured a live performance. You can check out our galleries from the show's designers below, and also learn more about them. Enjoy! And as always, be sure to keep an eye out for more! VENIA Ancient Latin (Noun) – Elegance of beauty or form, manner, motion, or action. VENIA is an adventure driven brand bridging the gap between fantasy and reality. Drawing inspiration from the spirit of adventure in a dystopian universe, each collection manifests itself in the form of seasonal stories imprinted with deep reflections of nature, society, and postmodern phenomena. Unconventional silhouettes and traditional craftsmanship are utilized to convey each season’s narrative. The seamless blend of languid asymmetrical shapes and precision tailoring emphasize a masculine and feminine duality; a common thread present in the brand’s design ethos. Through a unique combination of Fashion, Art, and Multimedia Narrative Storytelling, each collection focuses on sustainable development and progressive design. VENIA is seen on many artists who share the same story driven vision such as: Korn, BORIS, Avenged Sevenfold, Tinashe, Tini, Gryffin, Seven Lions, Trippie Red and many more.

ELF ELEVEN is about making art from the decayed; crafting wearable treasures from other people’s garbage (while arguably still looking like garbage) Fashion has become an ugly villain; a menace destroying the planet. How can we stop this monster? It’s time to value the craft that is put into making a garment. Something made just for you. That exists only once. Like a Banksy mural on a filthy London wall. ELF ELEVEN doesn’t promote itself as a fashion brand, but more likely a social art experiment Miss Alphabet Miss Alphabet got her start 20 years ago during her fashion studies at a local community college. After discovering alternative and J-fashion LiveJournal communities she took advantage of her fabric store employee discount and started selling her work directly on eBay. As a plus size gal she’s always kept larger sizes included in her offerings. She had more of a retro and rockabilly edge for the first few years until she discovered fairy kei fashion. 80’s and 90’s themes in pastels and neons now dominate her work. Now her current favorite materials are vintage bedsheets, dollhouse accessories, and deadstock fabrics to create a look like a walking Malibu Dreamhouse or early 90’s bedroom. Last year, she presented her collection Lovely Dreamhouse at Rakuten Fashion Week Tokyo! Today, Miss Alphabet’s handmade pieces can be found on her website and Etsy shop, and are enjoyed by the Harajuku community, drag queens, and Barbie enthusiasts alike! For More Information: https://missalphabet.com/ Wa-Miyabi (Wa = Japan, Miyabi = elegance) In 2020, Wa-Miyabi was founded in Tokyo with the sincere wish to share the traditional beauty of kimonos, inherited by Japanese artisans, as Wa-dresses with people not only in Japan but around the world where authentic beauty is celebrated. The traditional patterns and designs of kimonos are handcrafted to bring happiness to the wearer and embody the aesthetic sensibilities passed down through many generations. Each piece is created with the intention of conveying this rich tradition and unparalleled Japanese beauty to all who love kimonos through our remakes. Additionally, Wa-Miyabi aims to create a new cycle of fashion by regenerating resources from kimonos that are no longer worn into fresh new styles of Wadresses, based on a sustainable perspective of the SDGs. This is an initiative to achieve a sustainable fashion industry through consideration for the global environment and recycling while preserving the beauty. Wa-Miyabi operates in both Japan and France, aiming to elevate the presence of traditional Japanese culture in an increasingly diverse world. Wa-Miyabi embodies the fusion of Eastern and Western beauty, blending different cultural elements. While honoring the charm of Japanese traditions, Wa-Miyabi strives to revive the beauty of kimonos by incorporating them into contemporary, easy-to-wear styles. Everyday elegance with Wa-Miyabi.
