Walk into any other store, and the sounds of Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” blaring from the speakers might be a little out of place. But at Downtown Plaza store Ikon, its all part of what makes its shopping experience a unique one.

Its here you’ll find all the latest fashions in urban and skate gear. Ikon carries t-shirts, hoodies, jeans, and accessories for both men and women.

“It’s street couture,” Eddie Concha, 21, an employee said. “We have a really wide range.”

Street couture is the best way to describe the type of fashion available for men today, and it’s not limited to one demographic or style.

“We attract everyone, from hip-hop heads to shoe heads,” said Concha.

The store, which has been in business for 3 years, offers trendy urban brands such as Zoo York, but also carries Volcom, Stussy and Fresh Jive.

Most of their t-shirts, which feature wildly different, creative designs, are around $20 to $25. Hooded sweatshirts can run anywhere from $55-60, and their jeans can cost upwards of $150.

For those interested in skating fashion, FTC is a store to check out, near the corner of J and 10th Streets.

Walk in to FTC, and its Kanye West greeting you with songs from his album, “Late Registration.” The store is very small but simple. On the left are t-shirts and other clothing items. On the right are shoes, and up on the wall hang skate-board decks for sale.

Shirts are in the $20 range, and sweatshirts in the $60 range, with brands such as 4 Star, Chocolate, DVS and Nike.

Those who appreciate eccentricity rather than mall-commercialism should check out Toyroom at 907 K St.

Toyroom features off-the-wall clothing designs from Upper Playground, Rebel 8 and Tank Theory. Toyroom is also a great place to find, well, toys. Vinyl figurines are one of the shops specialties, along with posters and other collectibles.

Also, one of the rooms in the store is a mini art gallery of sorts, featuring contemporary sketches and artwork from a variety of artists. Most of the art is for sale for those wishing to let their fashion tastes loose on their homes as well.

“We try to keep everything affordable,” Craig Maclaine, 40, co-owner of Toyroom, said in a telephone interview.

Toyroom has been on K Street for 6 months since moving from its old location in an address-less alley in the Curtis Park area. It started as strictly an art gallery, but has since expanded to “art, apparel, and swag,” according to the store’s website, www.toyroomgallery.com.

Maclaine said that his store usually attracts those interested in art, and everything they sell is art related.

“It’s all related to the art we’re interested in,” Maclaine said.

Whatever kind of style interests you, midtown shopping is bound to have something for everyone.
