Los Angeles' Fashion Week may lack the fame of New York's but, boy, does it have style -- true L.A. style with a mix of rock 'n' roll and sex appeal, an irreverent attitude and a sprinkling of Hollywood stars. Keep clicking for fresh looks from Sue Wong's ornate gowns (like the one at left) to Evisu's funky fits. And below, a look at the scene.

Verdad found a new inspiration in actress Natalie Portman. "I watched a movie, 'Closer,' with Natalie Portman, and I like her rebel attitude," Verdad says. "The little short wig with little boots and all spiky and kind of punk. Sort of a new wave look." A model walks the runway at the Louis Verdad Spring 2007 fashion show Oct. 15, 2006.
