THE LOS ANGELES FASHION WEEK VENUE
The Lot Studios is a historic creative campus in the heart of West Hollywood. Originally built as a studio lot, it has hosted major film productions, fashion events, and brand activations for decades. It is a place where Hollywood history meets contemporary culture.
For Los Angeles Fashion Week 2026, The Lot Studios is transformed into a full fashion week venue. The campus offers a unique mix of indoor and outdoor spaces: a main runway hall with professional lighting and sound, an open-air courtyard for networking and photo moments, exclusive VIP lounges, and dedicated backstage areas where collections come to life.
The atmosphere is unlike any other fashion week venue. Industrial architecture meets refined production design, creating a space that feels both intimate and grand. The venue is designed for discovery, from the moment you arrive to the final look on the runway.
The Lot Studios sits walking distance from Melrose Ave, Robertson Blvd, and the best of West Hollywood. After the shows, the neighborhood is yours.

Los Angeles Fashion Week at The Lot Studios
