About

The book

Featuring over 120 subjects, mostly L.A. natives, the book spotlights the real faces shaping the city’s cultural identity, far from Hollywood stereotypes.

Equal parts fashion document and cultural time capsule, City of Angels is a raw, intimate tribute to the soul of modern L.A.

As Jeffrey Deitch puts it, “Jasmine Benjamin has drawn on her experience as a stylist for leading musicians to identify the diverse group of individuals who are defining the new LA style. She has gone to neighborhoods all over Los Angeles to interview and photograph these style innovators in their own clothes where they work and live. Many of these people are not just style innovators, but the influential talents who are also creating the new Los Angeles culture in art, music, fashion, and community activism.”
