LA defines city chic - where east meets west, elegance becomes trend and trend becomes elegance. Where else in the world can one fashionista be wearing 3 inch stilletos and jeans while her girlfriend is wearing cashmere and converse over brunch and both look like they are ready for an LA Magazine photo shoot.... jmbdill@comcast.net

If it's thin, it's in! If it's slender, it's a mind-bender! If it's trim, it ain't dim!

Confidence is the name of the game when it comes to LA fashion. It''s a perfectly made up face focused straight ahead, a bright colored top and slim jeans perfectly taylored for the body they adorn, glittery accessories such as big shades and bangles. It''s looking new and feeling new and knowing you''re the "cat''s meow." neinruhe@earthlink.net

as a native eastcoaster i might be biased in my oppinion on west coast fashion. that being said the first thing that came to mind was the whole unfortunate velour juicy track suit trend that seemed to dominate a few years ago. juicy written across even the smallest bottom is still not attractive. of couse they also get credited for the whole laid back take on fashion and classic beach chic so the track suits can be overlooked. dwbrosnihan@gmail.com

LA fashion is trashy chic and eclectically elegant. What NY fashion isn't. email: Ilovestylephile@gmail.com

LA Fashion is like a past-life recall of Ancient Egypt -from the hieroglyphs of today's designer billboards, adorned jewels, and repetitive karmic fascination for the superficial.

la fashion is an effortless fashion that looks like it isn't fashion at all but more a statement of who you are, where you are right now & what you want to be. shellainey@aol.com
