Fashion District, Fashion and retail district in Downtown Los Angeles, United States.
The Fashion District is a large commercial neighborhood in Downtown Los Angeles with thousands of stores selling clothing, shoes, accessories, and fabrics. Shops range from small retail boutiques to wholesale suppliers packed tightly together, making it a destination for shoppers from across the region.
The neighborhood began in the 1970s as a manufacturing hub along a main commercial street, then grew into a much larger trading center. Growth transformed it from an industrial production area into today's mixed retail and wholesale marketplace.
The neighborhood reflects the work of immigrant communities from Latin America and Asia who have shaped its character over decades. You notice their influence in the small shops, the languages on signs, and how people move through the streets and conduct business.
Parking structures are available on most blocks throughout the area, and public transit connects the neighborhood to other parts of the city. The district is most active on weekends and weekdays during standard shop hours.
One section of the neighborhood sells products at prices well below retail rates, drawing bargain hunters from far away. A major flower market nearby supplies flowers and plants to local businesses and events, operating as a wholesale hub.
