corner of Fairfax and Oakwood
since 2002, in the heart of hipster
streetpunkville, is this minuscule
vintage fashion fortress and de
luxe archive of haute couture's
most significant milestones:
Iconic trophies of timeless chic
peek out behind glossy windows
of this vintage gem of a boutique
that was founded by veteran
stylist and costume designer
Renee Johnston and music
video commissioner/producer
Michelle Webb. The two vintage
proprietors curate their
collections with a shrewd and
savvy eye while offering their
clients knowledgeable advice.
Shophawks, stylists, designers,
editors and vintage aficionados
are required to ring the door
bell before being admitted
to catch a glimpse inside
this fashion Nirvana. A
vibe of high-end vintage glamour will beguile a
fashionista's senses
while -- on a second
glance -- sublime
inspirations and classic
accents boldly proclaim
some of the most
illustrious names of the
fashion world. A unique
mix of designer and
era vintage makes this
de luxe boîte a
heavyweight among
L.A.'s vintage boutiques.
Michelle Webb and Renee
Johnston stock their fashion oasis
with signature historical pieces
such as '70s Gucci riding boots
or a silver-dipped lace Christian
Dior necklace. Shelves and racks
are neatly plastered with grandiose Pucci, YSL and Chanel duds. Find
an impressive collection of Gucci,
Hermes and Chanel eyewear -- a
must-have shield in the sun-(and-
air-and-graces) drenched
microcosm of LaLa Land.
Yves St. Laurent and Manolo
Blahnik pumps, classic Chanel
flats and two-toned platforms
highlight an awe-inspiring shoe
assortment. Brocade Moschino
coats, Dior party frocks, Prada
handbags and much more glory
can be discovered on the store's
neat, color-coordinated racks.
