Legends Design Festival Returns
Author:Lindsey ShookJoin leaders in the design industry on May 9, for the return of L.A.’s 2023 LEGENDS design festival. Scattered throughout a number of showrooms in La Cienega’s Design Quarter, the annual gathering of great minds will feature a dynamic mix of engaging discussions, product introductions and more, all in the theme of “The Fashion of Home”, a nod to fashion royalty, and the announcement of the inimitably fashionable.
