About Fashion District
The Fashion District is a 100-block hive of garment trade, anchored by the famous Santee Alley and the historic flower and produce markets nearby. Wandering and browsing is free, and the energy is unlike anywhere else downtown.
Grand Hope Park brings green space to the district's western edge, and public art is scattered throughout — a vivid, walkable slice of working Los Angeles.
