Awesome thread...insightful and thought-provoking. I especially appreciate the concept of mixing and matching pieces from different genres & subcultures in a personal, natural style that the dresser owns - a level I hope to aspire to.
Which stores in socal carry Ann D, Rick Owens, Julius, Damir Doma, similar designers?
Not to hijack this thread, but I'm just interested in seeing and handling these garments in-person. The designer websites aren't too helpful.
For those that want to look back at Cloak, Ann D and other designers' old runway shows, check out Style.com's archive:
