LA Fashion Trends

It’s interesting that Vogue did a piece covering the look of HBO’s Girls because one thing this show seems to be not about is fashion. Or at least it’s played very differently from the show Girls most frequently compared to, Sex & The City, for which fashion repeatedly was cited as the show’s fifth character.

Indeed, while the writer & star of the series, Lena Dunham, pays the requisite tribute to SATC via a giant poster featured on the studio wall of NYU student, Shonshanna (gosh I love that name), it’s something of a backhanded compliment as she is Girls’ least hip character with fashion choices that tend to be more mainstream mall-ish what with her matching Victoria’s Secret bra & panties, short-sleeved Juicy hoodies and ack, even a Snuggie! In many ways Shoshanna represents the final ripple of that which was spawned S&TC, with the end results not all that pretty much less chic. (And actually I have a theory that Dunham secretly has mixed feelings about the SATC comparisons, would prefer ones made to Seinfeld, and in the ultimate teenage rebellous move accidentally-on-purpose does a lot of stuff that kicks dirt on its main themes.)

Their resume reads like a best of fashion and art  royalty, Inez and Vinoodh originators of  of the most compelling  and noteworthy imagery have been featured on B0F:

While the duo continues to push the boundaries of fashion editorial, Lamsweerde has seen the space become increasingly confined. “Editorially, there used to be so much freedom that nobody would ask you to shoot a big advertiser for a story. We would, as a joke, put an outfit from Chanel in an editorial, but that was very tongue-in-cheek,” she said. “Now, basically all the editorial pages are infused by the advertisers. To us, it sometimes feels like there is more freedom shooting an advertising campaign, because you sort of strategise the whole thing together with them and understand who they are representing or wanting to reach out to. Whereas, with the editorials, in one story you are covering twelve different designers and it all has to make sense together,” she added. “Sometimes it’s not easy.”

Shea Marie is the woman behind the fashion blog Cheyenne meets Chanel. I met her the first time at a Vogue/Gap event and I’m happy to feature her here on HiStyley.

Describe your style: My style changes everyday depending on how I’m feeling. One day I’m boho and eclectic, the next chic and sophisticated.  It’s not something I can really describe easily in words.

What do you treasure most in your closet? The vintage pieces from my mom and aunt.

Favorite places to shop in LA? Barneys, Intermix, the Helmut Lang store and of course the Rose Bowl Flea Market

Describe your perfect day in LA: A drive down PCH and laying on the beach in Malibu.
