It's almost that time again, Fashion Week -- this time in L.A. Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios in Culver City, CA will run March 9-13th showcasing L.A. designer's Fall/Winter collections for 2008. The preliminary list of designers has been officially announced to include the following designers:

• Kelly Nishimoto
• Orthodox Clothing
• Julia Clancey
• Whitley Kros
• Octavio Carlin
• Joseph Domingo
• Suh-Tahn
• Falguni Creations
• Bow & Arrow by Alan Del Rosario
• Lauren Conrad Collection
• Maggie Barry for Xubaz
• Nicholai
• The Gallery
• Jenny Han
• Kevan Hall
• Samora
• Monarchy Collection
• Ashley Paige
• Pussycat Dolls

As you look at the line up there is probably a bunch of "who the hell's" floating out there but that is normal seeing as many of these designers are debuting their collections for the first time.

I am looking forward to seeing Ashley Paige, Jenny Han, Monarchy, and Orthodox. I also am excited to see two train wrecks unfold on the runway with the Lauren Conrad Collection and (vomit) the Pussycat Dolls -- why again are they showing at Fashion Week?!

Stay tuned because StyleDash will be there through the good, the bad, and the ugly.
