Los Angeles Magazine Looking for L.A.’s Best Trendsetters - Enter Now!
Los Angeles magazine is busy looking for individuals who thrive on being a trendsetter. The magazine’s Style Star of Tomorrow contest – celebrating the Tastemakers exhibition – is offering a wonderful opportunity to showcase your art, music, design, photography and style industries.
The Tastemakers Exhibition, defined as a designer or artist whose work or personal style sets a new standard or trend, will feature L.A. style setters in fashion, design and the arts.
As the Style Director for Los Angeles Magazine, Laurie Pike has been spotlighting L.A.’s trendsetting talent since the 2006 launch of her column, and the tastemakers are finally joining together for a wonderful showcase of their work.

On Tuesday, March 18th, the winner will join Los Angeles magazine Tastemakers at a VIP Tastemakers exhibition kick-off party catered by The Foundry on Melrose’s chef/owner Eric Greenspan.
