Dek: Two nights, two bills, one media pit. Here’s every house we can put on the record from The Opening (Fri Oct 16, 6:00 PM) and Saturday Night: The Finale (Sat Oct 17, 8:30 PM) at The Bureau Fashion Week LA, with the looks, the handles and the links.
The 30-second version
- The Opening: Toshimi Pacumbala (off-bill), Dimez, Deborah Beaumont Designs, Krown Kink, X-X Co., Sewreffic, Saint Fortuna. Susan Kim is on the bill but not in our frames.
- The Finale: Naked Sewist (Doug Chinery), Justin Zachary, Eternal Been, Krissy King Swim. Siragusa is on the bill but not in our frames.
- Our Venus Games picks (editorial, not Bureau awards): Ava Kortman gold, Emily Sophie Christine silver, Kyla Dodds bronze.
Darlings, the bill tells you who was supposed to walk. The backdrop tells you who did. We shot both shows from the media pit at The Lot Studios, 1041 N Formosa Ave, West Hollywood, and matched every house to the official Bureau schedule and the name on the LED wall. Houses are listed in the order they crossed our frames, not the official running order. Where we couldn’t confirm something, we say so.
The Opening · Fri Oct 16, 6:00 PM
01 Toshimi Pacumbala
Plot twist: this house opened our Opening coverage under a “TOSHIMI PACUMBALA” backdrop, but it isn’t on the Bureau’s published bill. Why is unconfirmed.
Looks we clocked: a white feathered mermaid gown with a sheer fringed cape; a cobalt embroidered long coat over a blue tunic and trousers; a closing line-up of yellow, red, green and gold gowns.

02 Susan Kim
On the Bureau’s Opening bill (and its 8:30 PM Friday bill). No backdrop in our frames carries the name, so we have no looks to credit. Unconfirmed in our coverage.
