Hometown Style: The 90’s Are Back in Los Angeles, fashion that is!

Volcom Does Not Disappoint … There's a breath of fresh air to the LA scene thanks to the true fashion feast in store at the launch of Volcom's new denim collection, The event was held at the LA Volcom store and hosted by NYLON Magazine. The looks were a combination of 90’s grunge and 50’s greaser with tomboy pieces mixed in. My favorite pieces had to be the shoulder studded jean vest, the cream studded motorcycle jacket, and of course the tie-dye skinnys. Stud details were everywhere from jackets, to jeans, to shoes and really added that tough ‘Tank Girl’ vibe. Colored denim also made a huge appearance with cropped vintage wash vests and lightweight striped skinny jeans. The denim

“The “One-Dress” that Angelina Jolie really wanted…”

Curated by Malcolm Harris, it's the one-off dress with endless possibilities The “One-Dress” that Angelina Jolie really wanted, curated by Malcolm Harris You must have heard the volcanic gossip eruption about designer Malcolm Harris thinking that the multiple phone calls he received from Angelina Jolie were pranks. He hung up on her twice! Well, wouldn't you? I would put them in the same class as my calls from Yoda and move on. However, I did pay attention to the tidbit, as our new "social friendship" is based on the suggestion of a mutually good friend. And, Malcolm‘s design concept is about the collaboration of a great social being. The "One-Dress" is a genius of an idea, curated by Malcolm Harris,

Tinko’s Take: Anouk’s Style Diary Rio to Paris

Inspiration Girl | Globe-trekking style muse… Anouk is 22, from Rio de Janeiro, lives in Paris now.She studies fashion and works as a photography assistant. Her style is very eclectic, sometimes mixing her grandmother’s mink fur with latex punk boots, or Minnie Mouse ears with rock band T-shirts. She’ll wear a skirt pulled up to arm level, held with a leather belt. Her bracelets can be a mix of a pearl necklace with some concert fluorescent tag, and other oddities she can put her hands on. –Tinko Czetwertynski

It or Miss: Sienna Miller in Baggy Peg Leg Pants…

Peg leg pants, are they modern or an instant fattener upper? Hard to imagine fashion individualist Sienna Miller ever looking less than stellar in her style, but we’re scratching our collective chin on this one. Here we have Sienna wearing all the right pieces of the moment- boyfriend jacket, loose-fitting nude colered T-shirt, and baggy peg-leg pants in white! Our fashion brain loves the look of a fuller pant, but my neurotic personal brain even grapples with the thought of looking mondo when I wear my pegged pants, but I kinda sorta love them just the same. Hubby says they are not the most flattering fit, our Alix on the Go went nutso every time she saw them on a

It’s a revolution in denim trends with DIY custom style… Last night, I had the privilege of attending the launch party for the latest denim line to hit the market, Gridlock Denim, held at the trendy Los Angeles boutique, Kitson.

I’ll Have What She’s Having: Jane Fonda, Aspirational Ageless Beauty

If you are going to resemble someone, best be a beauty who sustains… I have the kind of face that people find some kindred association. Usually, an insistence that they know me from high school, from somewhere, they are convinced. Or, they think that I look like a celebrity. The celebrities seem to range far and wide and are more dependent on the age of the person who initiated the comparison rather than a direct relevance to me. It's been insisted that I resemble Terri Hatcher, Sigourney Weaver, Brittany Murphy, and Frances McDormand. When I permed my hair it was Marie Schnieder from her Last Tango in Paris days– boy, that image sticks in the mind of some men. There
