L.A. has made the $200 price tag an American way of life and put names such as Earl Jean, 7 for All Mankind and Rock & Republic on hips around the globe.

Carving out a day specifically for lines with a heavy menswear component would serve as a mini men's fashion week and afford these designers the same access to stylists and Hollywood tastemakers that the women's lines have, with no chance of marginalizing them.

The surf and skate brands usually prefer the trade show floor to the runway, but that could change now that more of the core labels shoot beyond the tube and into the office cube, in a bid to hold on to the grown-up end of the action-sports demographic. And what better place to showcase the best of the boardsport bunch than sun-drenched SoCal?

Though hardly as dazzling as skin-tight denim or floor-length gowns, the wide swath of looks that fall between Banana Republic and Balenciaga are the backbone of a woman's wardrobe, and L.A. labels can more than hold their own here too.

By presenting a smartly edited group of under-the-radar collections in a single day, smaller lines won't get lost in the manic shuffle of a major fashion week.

From edgy sportswear to tailored finery, this all-star lineup of the best celebrity-designed labels will quell any grumblings that singers and actors should stay in their own lanes. And by lumping all the paparazzi bait into one day, the logistical nightmare becomes almost navigable.

Let’s face it. The red carpet is really L.A.’s (the world’s?) most beloved runway. What better city than this to showcase all the best gowns and daytime frocks?
