What They Were Wearing


Directives West scouted out the most fashionable designers and attendees at the most recent installment of PROJECT in Las Vegas. Heavy knit sweaters were spotted on guys, while the ladies opted for leather jackets and vests as their topper. Slim pants with gathered or cuffed ankles in twill and denim dominated for both men and women. Mixing textures, like fine gauge knits with woven fabrics, created offbeat layered combinations and touches of lace, crochet and fringe added a hint of 70's chic.

General Quarters



General Quarters had a quiet arrival in Decemeber across from American Rag CIE, but it is garnering attention as a must-see shop along La Brea Avenue. Owner Blair Lucio has curated an impressive selection of apparel, jewelry, bags, books, boots and more. Inspired by heritage, nautical, aviation and automotive memorabilia, which helps to explain the Triump TR6 bike for sale in the window, which is the same model Steve McQueen rode around in The Great Escape. For a more classic look, check out the Gant Rugger shirts, Life After Denim sweaters and resonably priced tees, mixed in amongst a smart collection of vintage chambray shirts, racing gloves and military duffel bags.

Connect the Dots


LA's female trendsetters are spot-on with the latest polka dot prints and patterns. As this is an emerging trend in the resort season, Angelenos are already opting for dots on dresses, skirts and tops. Ranging from speckled to spacious, this is a refreshing alternative to summer florals. Expect to see more of these looks as feminine and flirty continue to be important.
