First and foremost I would like to explain a big difference among the NY Times and the LA Times online and print versions of their newspapers. The NY Times online has a very good section on fashion and style as well as their print version. The LA Times, however, only has a section in their print version called "Calendar". This is the section about arts, entertainment, fashion, etc. The Calendar on the online version is lacking an adequate section on fashion and style so I will make do with what I have.

NY Times

"For A Fresh Mix, The Retro Kids Hit Rewind"


This article is called "For A Fresh Mix, The Retro Kids Hit Rewind". It is about a new fashion line put together by black men. The beginning of the article starts with comparisons to architecture, hair, clothes, and the Reagan administration. It continues with quotes from the group about how people perceive them and doesn't get into actually explaining what the article is about until the fourth paragraph.
This article is an example of just one of the many articles similar in the NY Times. All these articles have some comparisons in them, but most of the articles are about style and what the trends are with music, the arts, and just plain being a person living in pop culture.

LA Times

Today there is one fashion entry in the LA Times online.

"Herrera Takes a Look at Herrera"



This article starts with a quick one sentence paragraph about boutiques on Melrose Place and goes straight into the who of the story in the next paragraph. The story is about fashion and how it is evolving and growing with boutiques and individuals.
