Los Angeles is in the midst of a fashion renaissance.
There is so much good design happening here that we decided to dedicate this Essentials column to homegrown fall wardrobe pieces, with looks such as Mason's crepe cape jacket and Building Block's cylinder duffel bag, which capture fall's rock 'n' roll-inspired polish, and Clover Canyon's relaxed maxi skirt and Jenni Kane's croc-embossed moccasin boots, which tap into the season's bohemian rhapsody.
There are new players in the luxury space, including Zaid Affas, who graduated from the prestigious Central Saint Martins college of art and design in London and had stints at Ports 1961 and Ralph Lauren before launching his namesake collection of glam going-out wear last year.
