The denim capital: L.A. births premium brands despite industry decline
“The fashion capitals of the world may reside in cities like Paris, New York, and Milan, but the denim capital of the world is undoubtedly Los Angeles, California.

As I approach my two year anniversary of living in the City of Angels, I realize that my style actually has evolved. But not in the way you think it would have. The thing is…it’s only evolved to become MORE atypical of L.A. Call it stubbornness (even in the face of practicality), but I still […]
