UNIVERS

May be the name of a realist Sans Serif type-face designed in 1954 but in the circle of local stylespeak, its the collective multi- label store thats currently the brightest sun now shining in the fashion solar system.

With ultra high ceilings that aspire for the stars--to infinite space and beyond!

Burnished steel in contrast to some Jil Sander for Men.

This could be a Mobius strip--or a twisted post that continues as a base for the candle/perfume counter. Too cool.

Theres also Art and Furniture.

And for true label love, theres Balenciaga.

Jil Sander. (I. HEART!!)

Rick Owens. Drool.


Comme des Garçons.

Accessories.

And EAIRTH for UNIVERS. I miss Issy.

CDG X H&M

My friend Gil from LA called me up last night to ask me what my pant size was. And I go, why, are you getting me kalenshagas? And he goes, NO. Even better, apparently he went aranka to the Comme Des Garcon for H&M, lining up at 7am for the 9, (or was it 10 gillie?) store opening. I totally forgot about it but thank Goodness he didn't. H&M in the Beverly Center is the only one of the few who stocked the collab. And yes, it was gone, SOLD out in 30 minutes. I told him in advance that I wanted the tiered dress and the asymmetric jacket. But with all the competitive stye hunters smelling the designer blood, it was a shopping frenzy with people maniacally grabbing everything in sight. Sigh. I reckon I'll see them in ebay but whats the point? Anyhoo, at least he got me the dhoti pants, which I also love!!! and a bag(?). haha, I want the polka dot bag!!! Wah! thanks gillie. haha.
The queue.
