California Market Center - Fashion Company Profile
The California Market Center (CMC) is the West Coast's wholesale fashion mart: three interconnected 13-story buildings at 9th and Los Angeles Streets in the Los Angeles Fashion District, holding more than a thousand showrooms and hosting the market weeks where retailers buy apparel, accessories and gift lines. Since Brookfield took control in 2017 the complex has been renovated into a mixed creative campus, but its fashion markets and showrooms remain its reason for being in this directory.
