Editor's Note Los Angeles, The City of Angels, a city with much influence on the world and its culture. Los Angeles, home to Rodeo Drive, movie stars, the largest manufacturing industry in the US (the Garment District ) and a colorful and wide range of subcultures.

Los Angeles and Southern California have more impact on fashion trends, music and pop culture than most want to give it credit for. The reality is you move here to become famous, and if you want to sell high end clothing, jewelry and accessories, you open a shop on Rodeo Drive. The fact is when you are wearing Oakley sunglasses, Betsey Johnson skirts, surfing, riding your BMX bike or just watched a movie that inspired the way you dress for your evening date, you have been under our influence. Los Angeles and Southern California had its impact on you.

I have been sitting on the idea of launching a fashion publication for close to a decade. It never made much sense to me that Los Angeles is on the sidelines when it comes to the fashion world. Literally, we have everything right here, from the very high end Haute Couture to the trendy subcultures. It’s movie stars and rock stars who sell most brands nowdays, and most live here in Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Fashion magazine vows to stay green by printing a limited number of high quality print issues with our main focus being digital delivery. With our digital editions available in May on Apple NewsStand, a leader in digital publication, we will be among the leading fashion magazines to adopt this platform. This will give us instant reach to millions of readers around the world as we continue to bring to you a high quality magazine.

We are delighted to bring to you our second issue covering the 2012 Fall /Winter lines from LAFW and NYFW. We will be releasing one more special edition in August before going monthly in October 2012. All these editions will be available in print, digital download and on Apple Newsstand starting in October.

SKINEEZ by Clothes for a Cause Every girl is always trying to figure out a way to slim out the muffin top and not-so-toned parts of her body, but how can we do it and still be sexy and fashionable?

Well ladies, fear not, Skineez have arrived. These sexy slimming and healthy, yes healthy undergarments are the latest in fashion and health. Skineez is not your typical brand of slimming undergarments. Featured on the hit TV show “The Doctors” and worn by major celebrities, this revolutionary line of undergarments is doctor recommended and endorsed by plastic surgeons and orthopedic doctors for its health benefits and firming qualities.

Skineez founder Michelle Moran wanted to create a line of clothing that makes the wearer “look good, feel good, and do good,” so she did just that. Skineez healthcare wear is infused with a variety of toning, sculpting and firming ingredients including retinol, red algae extract, vitamin E, shea butter, apricot kernel oil and rose hip oil. The unique mixture of these and other ingredients help to firm, smooth and moisturize the skin without all the mess of the ointments and firming creams typical of a woman’s daily routine, to remove that unwanted cellulite and improve the less-than-firm parts of her body.
