Szulika creator Monica Nahum has been immersed in the fashion industry since childhood.  Her mother and grandmother were both entrepreneurs with their own design studios, where she learned attention to detail and quality in craftsmanship, as well as her passion for design.  She has vast experience working with the junior line Francine Browner, the contemporary line Anna Paul Collection, Denimex in New York, Azteca in Los Angeles, as well as her family's business, Encore Performance Apparel.  In 2004, Monica decided to launch her own line, Szulika. 

The company recently relocated to downtown Los Angeles, where Monica's mother and assistant designer Amber Clark oversee daily operations for the growing line, which has been featured in the pages of Lucky, Flaunt, Bust, Estylo, Razor, and Paper magazines, to name a few.

P.KA BU, fashion's independent "presentation to purchase" organizing platform expanded operations for its fifth LA Fashion Week season. Runway. Trade Show. Trunk Show. Influential Retailers. Media. Celebrities. Public Access. Independent Fashion. Charity. Creative Business. Partners. Glamour. Fun. Imagine these elements brought together under one roof of a 37,500 square-foot art deco space in downtown Los Angeles' historic Twin Springs Building, 433 S. Spring St, and you get a comprehensive system for the growth, promotion, and sales of independent fashion and lifestyle brands.

On October 21 & 22 for the Spring 2006 season, P. Ka Bu's Fifth Independent Runway Series was joined by the launch of the first phase of its companion sales division, P. Ka Bu Trunk & Trade. Phase one of this innovative trunk and trade show hybrid concept features thirty emerging fashion and lifestyle exhibitors in a spectacular retail sales event. As the next pivotal stage in P. Ka Bu's development, P. Ka Bu Trunk & Trade offers exhibitors the chance to reach the most important segments of the market at one of the most exciting times in the LA fashion calendar. At one time in one place, P. Ka Bu Trunk & Trade exhibitors can cater to both the ever-coveted retailer, and a savvy, style-hungry public audience.
