“California Style Week was a resounding success, showcasing the innovative spirit and diverse styles that make California a global trendsetter,” said Cachita Maki, CEO of Fashion Week Haus. The event was not only focused on the latest in fashion but also on empowerment and philanthropy. At EmpowHER Happy Hour, Maki gathered like-minded women entrepreneurs, designers and influencers to celebrate women-owned businesses.
Under Maki’s guidance, the event supported charitable causes such as The Cause Connection’s Shop It Forward fundraiser and Anthropologie’s jean drive. These efforts emphasized fashion’s role in making a positive community impact, demonstrating that California Style Week was a platform for both style and social good.
