Fashion Week El Paseo - the West Coast's most anticipated fashion event unfolds March 16-24, 2012, in the Fashion Week Tent on El Paseo, the Coachella Valley's most fashionable shopping district.

The Parisian Los Angeles-based designer will present his “LKLA” (Lloyd Klein Los Angeles) line of contemporary sportswear and “LKBH”(Lloyd Klein Beverly Hills) his collection of evening gowns inspired by his Couture Collection.

“I am enormously excited to return to share my two newest collections at Fashion Week El Paseo to an audience of sophisticated consumers and tastemakers in a glamorous setting in the spectacular desert resorts,” said Lloyd Klein. Klein's runway show will benefit two local charities -- The Living Desert and Desert AIDS Project.

Lloyd Klein has produced spectacular couture collections since launching his career most notably as head designer of Madame Grès in Paris at the age of 23. His red carpet gowns and highly tailored suits are worn regularly at nightly premiers and awards shows in Hollywood and seen monthly in the pages of fashion editorials year round.
