THE LATEST: In the face of the Covid-19 pandemic, Metchek and the nonprofit California Fashion Association have helped local apparel manufacturers navigate the onslaught of information and find the right resources to keep their businesses afloat.

BACKGROUND: Frankfurt native Metchek created the nonprofit California Fashion Association in 1995 in conjunction with the region&s major apparel manufacturers and representatives of the finance sector and other industries. She previously served as executive director of the California Market Center, a 1.8-million-square-foot complex in the Fashion District that includes showrooms and creative offices. Metchek also worked as president of clothing brand White Stag Inc. while it was a division of garment manufacturer Warnaco Group Inc. She is a board member of the Los Angeles Economic Development Corp. and the Fashion Industries Guild of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
