fashion industry legacy
California Market Center (CMC) has a rich history in the global Fashion Industry and has been renowned as the heartbeat of the LA Fashion District for more than 60 years.
Built in 1963 by the Morse family, the original California Mart was the first Wholesale Fashion marketplace west of the Mississippi, and has continued to serve as the essential destination for the Fashion and Textile Trade on the West Coast ever since.
