From the boardwalk to the red carpet, and from the desert to the mountains, California is a state of staggering variety - and that applies to its fashion, too.

With over 100 images exploring California's most iconic inhabitants, designers and signature styles, and with chapters on shopping and what to wear, this gorgeous book captures this starry state's style DNA.
