When the call came from Vogue magazine to attend the introduction of a new premium jeans collection from the Gap called 1969, SP was indeed curious. Having grown up with Gap and their affordable, wearable, classic style, I was curious to see what this great American company was up to lately. It is no news [...]

The gritty streets of downtown Los Angeles may seem to many readers of SP as the last place to find one’s dream girl. Well, love finds you, you don’t find love. Isn’t that how it always happens? Don’t get me wrong, when the idea first popped up last month to begin featuring the ladies in [...]

I have a great friend AV who works for a fancy ladies’ magazine and is privy to the inner sanctum of the fashion world. She is able to call upon any designer and most of these designers would fall over themselves to dress her. That said, every time she comes to town for a visit, [...]

SP loves a party T-shirt. I remember as a wee high school freshman eye-balling with envy the older guys’ T-shirts from party weekends away at colleges. Juniors and Seniors would get invited to fraternity parties at schools they were considering attending and come back with the most-coveted souvenir: The party T-shirt.

SP takes a little flack from some quarters when it comes to using the term Go-to-Hell Prep. Some squawk that GTH is not prep at all while some dismiss GTH as clownish, whether it is on my person or those I choose to photograph on the street or style for a photo shoot. GTH is [...]
