A weekday afternoon walk down Hollywood Boulevard.........

A slogan is only words until it makes it on a t-shirt. This morning we cottoned on (get it? groaaaaan!) to the pro-taco truck tee that's now up for sale via York Blvd, the NELA-based blog. You can buy the 100% cotton tee via their online store (SaveOurTacoTrucks.org also directs you to the York Blvd online store). With 5-7 days shipping you might not get it in time to wear it to Thursday night's Zocalo......

Today we will look at one of my least favorite fashion occurrences. This has been going on for far too long, and I have lost the self-control to tolerate it. As with all moronic fashion trends, for months I patiently photographed the idiocy and awaited its disappearance. The problem we face today is that the Sausage Mc Muffins simply are not going away. So I must ask you Los Angeles: how can we eliminate......

For the past several seasons The Gap has been in a serious creative rut with completely lackluster clothes and equally dull ad campaigns, but the company aims to change all that with today's introduction of a limited edition collection for women designed by three hot, up-and-coming fashion designers. Following in the footsteps of mass-market clothing retailers H&M, Topshop and Target, all of whom have commissioned high-end designers to create limited edition clothing lines, The......

Whether you're sneaking out of rehab, snorting coke off a Noguchi coffee table or just lounging around looking sexily tousled while smoking a post-shag fag with your heroin-addicted rocker boyfriend, Kate Moss has designed the quintessential clothing line for the glamorously emaciated rocker chick within us all. It makes perfect sense. Models wear clothes. Why shouldn’t they also design them? Seriously, with all the celebrities designing eponymous fashion lines (read: famous people approving or......

H&M, the Ikea of clothing retailers, will be opening two more Southern California stores this week. Tomorrow, Thursday, April 12 at noon the H&M store in the South Coast Plaza will open followed by the H&M at Irvine Spectrum on Friday, April 13 at noon. The first 200 customers at each Grand Opening will receive a free t-shirt and a randomly selected H&M Gift Card with a value of $10 - $300. With that kind......

Today was the big unveiling of Proenza Schouler's "resort wear" collection for Target. It was exalted. It was hyped. It was drooled over. (I plead guilty to all of the above). But an early morning trip to the Target at the corner of La Cienega and Rodeo yielded nothing. Not as in "nothing good left cuz the racks were already picked clean" but as in "where the fuck are these clothes?" That's right. Absolutely nothing......

Offering low-cost clothing to slim-hipped wastrels isn't easy, and Swedish clothing chain H&M strives to stay on the cutting-edge of cutting costs. Competing in a cutthroat global marketplace, the company has found that budgetary consciousness doesn't only apply to the factory floor, it can extend to the highest reaches of the corporate machine thanks to the advances of the computer age. To that end H&M is the first major retailer to deploy the PR-Bot......

Lines stretched around the block. Helicopters buzzed overhead. It was madness today at the grand opening of the Pasadena H&M, the first H&M retail outlet in Southern California. Tucked between the Tiffany and Apple stores on Colorado Boulevard, the warehouse-like space showcases on two floors H&M's womenswear line. Sorry gents, ladies only. You'll have to wait until the Oct. 26 opening of the Beverly Center H&M. Half an hour before the official noon opening......
