How LA Fashion PR Works
Los Angeles publicity runs on entertainment as much as on editorial. Celebrity dressing, product integration, red-carpet moments and pop-culture partnerships sit alongside the magazine pitching that drives New York firms — which is why so many agencies here describe themselves in the language of both industries. The firms in this directory span that range: BNC built its name on entertainment and pop-culture marketing; the boutique firms — Fashion Pulse PR, Glimmer, Magnolia, Ruby Press and others — sell senior attention, showroom relationships and a feel for the West Coast boutique scene. Event specialists such as Couture Productions produce the fashion shows themselves.
Readers arriving from the industry side can continue into the Los Angeles fashion directory and the LA runway shows guide, and the sister directory for New York public relations covers the East Coast half of the many bicoastal practices listed below. If you own or work at a fashion industry public relations company in California, you are welcome to provide fashion articles about your clients for publication.
Reading This Directory
The listings mix three kinds of practice. The entertainment agencies — BNC above all — sell pop-culture machinery: celebrity outreach, product integration and sponsorship at national scale. The mid-size specialists, such as Howard Ruben PR and Pierce Mattie, sell senior media relations across several lifestyle industries at once. The boutiques — Buzzflikr with its social-network model, Fashion Pulse PR, Glimmer, Magnolia, Ruby Press and their peers — sell focus: fewer clients, the founder on the account, and a showroom or a contact book built specifically around fashion. Neither model is inherently better; a heritage brand buying a national campaign and a first-season label buying its first editorial placements are simply not shopping for the same thing, and this directory is organised so each can find its counterpart.
One more LA specialty deserves note: the fashion show as an event product. Producers like Couture Productions, and agencies with event divisions, treat the runway show itself as the publicity — the guest list, the staging and the after-party are the story — a model that suits a city where entertainment coverage often outdraws fashion coverage.
