When people think of New York and L.A. fashion, distinct styles immediately come to mind. Walk the streets of Manhattan and you’re bound to run into super skinny dark wash jeans, flats, and oversized bags. On Sunset Boulevard, you’re going to find brighter colors, more shorts, and flip flops galore instead. Unfortunately, the District’s most memorably contribution to the fashion world is probably still Monica Lewinsky’s little blue dress.
As far as the D.C. fashion scene is concerned, “it is definitely lacking,” according to Robin Levine, a co-buyer at We One You Two.
“ Fashion here is a lot more corporate, you can’t get away with much here. What you’ll find is a lot more classic work wear than the trends,” Levine said.
