Though two sets of fashion events had the concluding evenings last night, today kicks off the whirlwind of shows for the Mercedes Benz/IMG Fashion Week in Los Angeles. The list of designers who will be showing has gone through a couple of updates since it was first released (most remarkably, one designer cancelled a show without additional information from his PR firm). In addition to the regular runway shows, Fashion Week has brought the Design Suites back to Smashbox Studios.

The Design Suites are open all day and are a forum for clothing and accessories lines to complement the runway shows. Accessory designers who are included are: Andy The Anh, Dean Alan, The Dina Collection, DRES, Ema Savahl Couture, EXEX Jewelry, Kswiss, Fenix, Jennifer Rose Jewelry, JeTalia, La Chica Chic, LAI, Lo-Fi, Melly M, Mimi Turner, Mineral, Rockstyle, SBG Designs, Vanessa Carreno, Von Dutch, Wifebeader and Zandra Rhodes this season.

The list of designer runway shows is after the jump. Full schedule is at www.mbfashionweek.com.
