"Like many other organisations we will seek to reevaluate the situation as things progress in the coming weeks," a representative of the event said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.

Designer labels Elie Madi, Nicholas Mayfield, Gypsy Sport, Xiao Fen, Giannina Azar, CD Greene and Silent Panda will be showcasing at the LAFW.
