For 26 years, the Vintage Fashion Expo has proven that vintage fashion never really goes away. Instead it's reborn over and over again creating timeless fashions we can hardly keep up with. Featuring iconic fashion labels such as Chanel and Dior and items inspired by virtually every decade in the 20th century, the Vintage Fashion Expo makes the list for best fashion events in Los Angeles because it's such a great place to go for almost anything vintage from costume jewelry to vintage shoes. Some of the exhibitors that will be there this year include Cheeky Vintage, Hot Couture, Little Treasures, Revamp, Skirt Chaser Vintage and Vintazia Vintage.

If you like movies and want to appreciate the people who help make them, then this annual exhibition of costume design for film is well worth attending at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. The purpose behind featuring exhibits like these is to provide students, designers and the general public with a resource for exploring the impact historic fashions have had on society at large. Costumes featured in select 2013 films will be on display including last year’s Academy Award winner for Best Costume Design, Jacqueline Durran, for her work in "Anna Karenina" starring Keira Knightley.
