Alicia Estrada began creating her own eye-popping vintage-style clothing at age 17, and in her bold way she took the Fashion industry by storm with Stop Staring!

But the high-stakes fashion world and the realities of running a small manufacturing business took its tall, and Estrada found she had less and less time for design.

She turned to Fashion Business Inc. for help.

Through valuable input from FBI consultants, Stop Staring! automated with the AIMS system, added sales support and production management and freed up Estrada's time to focus on the creative process.

Together, the LADWP Economic Development Group and Fashion Business Inc. are dedicated to empowering Los Angeles' fashion future and sustraining economic growth within the apparel sector.
