Some people would argue that Los Angeles isn’t a great city for shopping, but I beg to differ. I simply adore shopping in this relaxed city, which has fabulous department stores, shops from virtually all the world’s top luxury brands (from Armani to Zegna) and a plethora of well-edited boutiques to find — really find! — truly unique gifts, design items, and clothing.
In LA, I usually begin on West 3rd Street, which has plenty of boutiques that are all about a smart and stylish retailer and their concise (in other words, wonderfully efficient) edit of items. I love SATINE, where I can always find something from one of my favorite tastemaker designers (like Balenciaga and Isabel Marant). I also always pop into MILK — for designer goodies as well as unique gifts, jewelry and books — and EM & CO, which carries terrific clothing from hard-to-find designers. HILLARY RUSH is great for impulse purchases to wear right away — like J Brand jeans and Zimmermann bathing suits — and I like stores like PLASTICA and HAUS INTERIOR for their quirky home items. And I can’t go to LA without picking up a new pair of sunglasses, and for that I go to GOGOSHA, which has a marvelous selection of designer frames you won’t see elsewhere and super-chic vintage pairs as well. |
