FASHION MEETS MUSIC  

The UFAM EXPO hits Los Angeles

By Dennica Abdo

The Urban Fashion and Music Expo (UFAM) was born out of the need to build a Worldwide and independent outlet to recognize the achievement of mainstream and up-and-coming Urban Fashion Designers and Artists around the globe.  

The 2-day event is being brought to the community to showcase clothing brands, designers, music artists and labels that are not on the mainstream, yet hold a reputation and a high consumer base.

The goal of the show is to bring consumers up to date with face-to-face street wear fashions, music and the model entrepreneurs of the Urban Fashion and Music Industry. The Expo incorporates design, music, elements of dance, oral commentary, lighting and visuals to present new fashion concepts. Urban wear has grown far beyond baggy jeans and hoodies; they’ll be showcasing its diversity, complexity and evolution. It's not just clothing, it's a lifestyle. The Expo will also be giving artists a much-needed platform, to be seen and to be heard.  

Portions of proceeds will benefit Music for Relief, a charity organization initiated to help disaster relief. www.musicforrelief.org
