Los Angeles is undergoing a makeover. Leaving behind its image as
all freeways and suburbs, sunshine and noir, it is reinventing
itself for the twenty-first century as a walkable, pedestrian
friendly, ecologically healthy and global urban hotspot of fashion
and style, while driving initiatives to rejuvenate its downtown
core, public spaces and ethnic neighborhoods. By providing a
locational history of Los Angeles fashion and style mythologies
through the lens of institutions such as manufacturing, museums and
designers and readings of contemporary film, literature and new
media, L.A. Chic provides an in-depth analysis of the social
changes, urban processes, desires and politics that inform how the
good life is being re-imagined in Los Angeles. Throughout the book,
Susan Ingram and Markus Reisenleitner dig up submerged and
marginalized elements of the city's cultural history but also tap
into the global circuits of urban affect that are being mobilized
for promoting L.A. as an example for the global, multi-ethnic city
of the future. Engagingly written, highly visual and featuring
numerous photographs throughout, L.A. Chic will appeal to any
culturally inclined reader with an interest in Los Angeles, its
cultural history and modern urban style.
