THE HIP STRIP

In Los Angeles, men’s streetwear retailers--many of whom consider themselves the ultimate fashion outsiders--have embraced the vibrant Fairfax district, where Canter’s Deli is still thriving and local residents shop for Sabbath dinner. Among the bakeries and produce and fish markets, male shoppers now can cruise hip-hop, skate and punk-inspired boutiques crammed with the latest in graphic Ts, footwear and denim. It’s a big multicultural fest, and the new kids on the block are excited.
