You don’t have to be a jet setter to see that Indian fashion fits in effortlessly with the L.A. look. After all, what could be more reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour than opulent silks, shimmering sequins, vibrant colors and diamonds offset by ornate 22-karat gold settings? And where do you think those comfortable yet elegant Asian-modern lounges everywhere from West Hollywood to Silverlake got their décor inspiration?
Of course, travelling to South Asia can be a bit daunting—it's a pricey 22-hour flight from LAX. But thanks to Pioneer Blvd. in Artesia—about an hour outside of Hollywood—bringing India into your life is easier done than said. While long considered a Mecca for spicy, authentic cuisine, "Little India" also boasts boutiques and emporiums that will feed your hunger for gorgeous Indian clothing and home-furnishings. Just ask makeup artist Jennifer Thorington and her friend Ana Berry, catching up on their Urdu (one of India's many languages) in the book section at India Sari Palace.
