Well guys, our street style tour has come to it’s final destination: Los Angeles, CA! Considering we started this stylish trip on the East Coast in NYC, it seemed like the appropriate place. I hope you guys have enjoyed this little project as much as I have! If there is only one thing you got out of it, I hope it was to celebrate your individuality-because someone out there is admiring you :)


And no matter how many different trends there are- whether it’s ripped jeans, tye dye jeans, high waisted jeans- in the end, they are all made from denim. Look into that as deep as you’d like ;) …but do know that, yes, I am comparing jeans to the human race :)

Leigh Lezark Might Have a New Job!

She looks so excited to be her.

Leigh Lezark is Matthew Williamson‘s new muse, according to rumors coming out of London. Leigh is, like Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, a hyphenate in denial. She still does D.J. gigs all over the world, but is increasingly focusing her energies on modeling. Signed with IMG, Lezark recently appeared in ads for Mango. Yet she doesn’t commonly refer to herself as D.J. slash model. Lezark would be replacing Sienna Miller as Williamson’s muse. Sienna’s clothing line Twenty8Twelve really started taking off this year, so maybe she’s too busy with that to hang out with Williamson in his studio. Or maybe Williamson wants to use an edgier face to diversify his boho customer base, now that the entire world is paying attention to him because of his H&M line. We don’t mean to vex you with nagging, unanswered questions like this as you head into your weekend, but sometimes extremely important and significant news such as this happens on Friday evening.

Moschino, Alberta Ferretti, Pollini to Lower Prices

Michelle Obama in a Moschino blouse.

Italian fashion group Aeffe SpA owns Alberta Ferretti, Moschino, and Pollini brands and produces collections for Jean Paul Gaultier among others. They’re pretty broke these days, since they just lost $389,781 in the three months ended March 31. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but in the same period in 2008 they enjoyed net profits of $9 million. So they’re reacting “in a prompt and determined way” — with price cuts. They’re also reducing the size of the collections and laying some people off. All this should save them about $13.6 million in 2010. But! Have they considered riding the Michelle Obama wave? The woman wears Moschino. If the stuff is getting cheaper on top of that, marketing that brand should be cake.
