Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson rocked Elizabeth & James on the red carpet at the CMT Music Awards on June 16th!

If so, I think opening it in LA instead of NYC is an interesting choice. But then, it is a more celebrity-oriented appeal with a wider audience in mind than the row. The LA fashion scene is very happening right now and it makes sense to place Elizabeth & James amongst that.
