DIS magazine traveled to sunny Venice Beach, Echo Park and other hipster-swarmed Los Angeles locales to see what fashion trends were hot on the street. Except like a very disoriented and confused Bruno, DIS only seemed to run into completely fabricated trends — such as velcro and suction cup accessories to keep your wallet on you while shirtless, piercings displayed on the outside of clothing, garbage bag purses, bungee cord halter-tops, baby carrying bags, blindfold sunglasses and of course wifebeater swimsuits (above). A pretty clever commentary on the inanity and pervasiveness of fashion mongering, which admittedly LIAS is often guilty of. Check out two galleries below — one before and one after the Jump — for an insightful peep into some hot (false) summer fashions…
