Traversing the urban landscape in Los Angeles today requires a free-spirited, nomadic approach to style. It's fashion's answer to exorbitant gas prices and the realities of the day-to-day commute. Unique items with a modern, poetic feel capture the look. Think tie-dyed, ethnic prints, feathers, fringe bags, spats and a top hat to create an unorthodox approach to style. Look for these designers and key looks at the upcoming MAGIC Marketplace, Project Global Trade Show, Pooltradeshow and ENK Vegas, to be held in Las Vegas Aug. 25-28.
