TRADE SHOW REPORT Preface LA Creates Authentic Ties Between Attendees, ExhibitorsDuring Preface LA’s July 30–31 run at Honeypot LA in downtown Los Angeles, show founder Betsy Franjola welcomed attendees to connect with carefully chosen exhibitors who are known for their quality and responsible practices. They want to go back to the familiar because it works and has great product,” said Franjola. “Our message is still resonating.”Dora Gutierrez, founder of Snova, exhibited at Preface LA to share her New York–headquartered company’s mission of upcycling tequila- and mezcal-production byproducts into biodegradable fibers. It was a reminder for those of us that work in that way,” said Bobette Stott, design director with designsource/la. “For those that are more in fast fashion, it was good to get some talking points about how we can start thinking about product differently.”
