- [Stylist 1] Fashion in LA, it's a melting pot
of a lot of different cultures,
so that's why you can get a bunch
of different styles coming out of the same city.
- [Stylist 2] People are willing to be around people
who don't look like them, think like them,
don't dress like them.

- So, today I'm wearing a needles sherpa beanie
that I just got on super sale.
A lovely hand spray painted T-shirt by my friend AJ.
He's really cool.
He's made like a whole universe around this character.
Love him so much.
I got a lovely mesh skirt here,
really nice for the hot LA summers,
a nice little carpet inspired bike short underneath,
and then some old Adidas boxing shoes from the '90s
that happened to be in my size from eBay.
So I got really lucky.
I need a piece of me in every single outfit.
And sometimes that comes to life with, you know,
like an old bag that I've had for years.
But every day, it's my jewelry,
which all for the most part
have been given to me by my family.
They're all hand me downs from, like, my grandma
my mom's side, my grandpa on my dad's side.
It's those unique pieces
that I really feel like bring the outfit together
and really help solidify your identity in fashion.

- I got a vintage jersey that I got at a flea market,
Carhartt pants and then some Air Forces.
Very simple, very sleek. Just ready to go.
Yeah. - Very fly.
- What about you, bud?
- I love looking into the past
and looking at, like, I think people
who were just absolutely fly the '70s and '80s.
Honestly, like early '80s in general
is a huge, huge inspiration of mine.

- The nails are a big part of LA culture.
Everyone here has their hands done,
their manis, their pedis on fleek.
Nobody has just like a classic [laugh]
French tip around here, there's always something to it.
[upbeat music]
- I was born and raised LA.
The quality of life makes being here so easy
probably, why I've never left.
And that kind of influences style in a way, again,
where it just feels kind of effortless.
I love these sunglasses.
I'm really into a light lens,
so you can really see the world
in a really beautiful colored way.
My whole outfit's vintage.
Rifted corset, vintage blazer
and I love my JPG skirt, I can't stop wearing it.
And like a cute little kitten heel.
I wear vintage because, well, one it's sustainable,
I know that's something we really have to be mindful
about these days.
And also, you just ensure that you're kind of
wearing something really unique and one of a kind.
[upbeat music]
- I'm wearing a lot of my own brand, The Hundreds.
So, this hat is by The Hundreds.
My pants are also by The Hundreds.
And these actually worked well for today
because it's so warm.
The way that most people who are into fashion now,
when they're putting pieces together,
it's such a truer expression of self-identity
than you've ever seen before.
[upbeat music]
- I'm a big fan of patterns.
So, here we have pineapple patterns.
We have a really watercolor style bag
that reminds me of doing drawings.
It feels like a canvas.
Overall, I think LA peaked on collaborations,
bringing art and fashion together.
So many things here are made in Los Angeles
and it's such a big part of the culture.
[upbeat music]
- I'm wearing a top that my friend designs.
Her brand is Tank Air.
I have like a tight skirts on.
It's really just comfortable and it can also be a dress.
My purse is vintage Miu Miu.
Oh, I think I've had this for, like, five years
and I constantly wear it.
I made my necklace,
it's one of the favorite pieces I'm wearing today.
It's based on this tattoo.
It's a heart with horns.
[upbeat music]
- I'm Latina.
So, like, Chicano culture is a huge part
of my style influence.
[upbeat music]
I like a little bit of everything.
I like structure, but I also love movement and clothes
that really matters to me.
This top, it's actually a really funny story,
I've had this since I was 14.
I remember buying it, thinking it was really risque
and I saved it because I was like, "I can't wear."
I was probably in the eighth grade or something.
But it's one of my favorite tops and I wear it all the time.
This is oddly very sentimental
of my awkward middle school years.
This skirt is a Wales Bonner skirt
and it actually reminds me of a baseball uniform.
I'm obsessed with the Dodgers,
it's LA and me, so copped it.
My sandals are Prada, straight from Italy.
Love them. Very comfortable.
I love sandals.
I don't really like covering my feet.
I like, I don't know, it's always been my thing.
Probably, because of the feet tattoos.
[upbeat music]
- I'm wearing this Kiko Kostadinov jacket
that I just recently got from Dover Street,
which is a store that I shop frequently.
Just a basic cutoff beater [chuckles]
that I basically pair with everything all the time.
Some little briefs and the super trendy Miu Miu skirt
that I had to have, obviously.
The need of Carter Timberland collab, which I love
because it really just brought back the early 2000s.
And then I have on this super personal necklace to me,
it's of me and my dad.
Fashion is really important.
It's really a opportunity to project who you are
and you know, it says a lot about you.
When you walk into a room, you don't have to say anything.
It's like you'll know maybe somebody's music tastes
or if they're well-traveled,
it's a story about their culture.
- I wear Japanese denim and I'm half Japanese,
so you know, I'm always back in them.
Tough.
These earrings, I got them from a jeweler from Singapore
called Singapore Jewels. [laughs]
And they're so cute. I love them.
My jeweler, Maison Raksha did this bracelet,
did this ring, custom-made,
this is a gift from my mother
and these are just like little things from over time.
[upbeat music]
- [Stylist 3] Los Angeles is such a cornucopia.
So many different cultures, attitudes,
and opinions coming together.
- [Stylist 4] Everything here is really
effortlessly cool and chic.
No one thinks too much about what they're wearing.
