L.A. label Band of Outsiders taps Sarah Silverman as its muse for their Boy Spring 2009 lookbook. Designer Scott Sternberg picked Cantor's Delicatessen, an iconic Jewish deli in Los Angeles, as the shoot location and styled Silverman in a few of his signature boy-meets-girl tailored looks from the women's diffusion line, complete with killer neon pumps created by Manolo Blahnik for the label. Sternberg took his "fetishized American sportswear" to more girlish levels this season, stocking it full of suspender-strapped skirts and cotton piqué dresses.
Silverman, famous for her red carpet hoodie-and-Converse aesthetic may seem an unusual choice for the brand that's typically aligned with a starlet audience (Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams have modeled for previous campaigns), but her nonchalance and raw beauty embodies the line's versatility, captured under the lens of Sternberg's trusty Polaroid camera.
Boy by Band of Outsiders Spring 2009 Ready-to-Wear is available at Barneys New York and online at La Garçonne.

I mean, he is Sonny Fucking Barger, the man that helped found The Hells Angels, the world's largest and most notorious motorcycle club. Photographer Clay Gardner and I are there to shoot Sonny for an upcoming ad campaign for Self Edge...
Cycling attire usually falls in one of two camps: triathlon spandex or rudimentary messenger cut-offs. To fill the void of bicycle apparel that's as stylish as it is utilitarian comes swrve, a small Los Angeles-based company. Their collection of reasonably-priced, American-made clothing has everything from classic wool riding caps to light-weight, water-repellent riding knickers—all constructed with a discerning eye for a contemporary aesthetic. A...
We've been fans of Brooklyn-based conceptual fashion designer Rebecca Turbow for years. Known for her space-age, mod-influenced designs and her signature look (she dressed in a palette of exclusively turquoise and white for over six years), Turbow recently transitioned into a new colorway of sleek grey and silver. Her Fall 2008 collection, available now at her online store, features sophisticated basics like a Button...
My search for the perfect swimsuit has been an ongoing project for the better part of the last 10 years, so I was pretty excited to happen upon the newly opened Parke & Ronen boutique during my last visit to Los Angeles. Despite the fact that Parke & Ronen (made up of the creative team of Parke Lutter and Ronen Jehezkel) design a complete...
by Valery JosephThe designers behind Los Angeles-based Solid Gold Rags are sparing us the search for the perfectly worn-in t-shirt with a new line of beautifully tattered tees. Screen-prints of pop-culture icons—French singers and muses Françoise Hardy and Serge Gainsbourg front two of the collection's pieces—the almost criminally soft shirts. Co-founders Perry Shimon, and Oliver Kupperhe seek to create quietly personal, everyday pieces that...
With Los Angeles' recent spate of new boutiques—from East Coast imports Moss and Opening Ceremony to an A.P.C. flagship—the city's getting a major dose of prime retail adding to the few pioneers who were already there. The following are a couple more (located literally around the corner from each other in the popular 3rd Street district) who are doing their part to balance out...
