Claude Morais and Brian Wolk, the designers behind the brand , have announced they will not be at New York Fashion Week in September and instead will show their Spring collection in Los Angeles on Oct. 27, as Fashion Week Daily reported.

'Our creative residency in Los Angeles over the last three months has provided endless inspiration, and it made perfect sense to show our collection in the city which inspired it,' the design duo told Fashion Week Daily.

Morais and Wolk shared with the publication they have been living a bicoastal life, and they have partnered with Los Angeles Tourism & Convention Board.

The duo will be designing their collection in L.A. and will source their textiles and sew their goods via L.A. resources and manufacturing suppliers.

In another fashion week move, earlier in August, Zoë Jordan, who previously showed her collection at London Fashion Week, announced she was heading to the Big Apple.

'London and the British Fashion Council have given me the confidence and support to get into my stride professionally,' stated Jordan to British Vogue.

The designer continued by expanding on her New York experience.

'Having lived there as a bond trader I have an understanding of the urban market in New York and their appreciation for the London look. I think the utilitarian, straight-forward approach to my collections has good synergy with the American audience.'

Jordan added, 'It feels like the perfect challenge and a good time to take the next steps with the brand. I don't know many meaningful, successful brands without a presence in the US, so New York is the first stepping stone to achieving that ambition.'
