Code C, an upscale boutique opening next Friday at Sunset Plaza, may just become one of my go-to shopping spots.
The shop boasts an impressive lineup of labels — Cynthia Vincent, A.L.C., Mike & Chris, Marchesa and Koi Suwannagate are all stocked – and will also host regular art installations.
Owners Andrea and Marzia Rossetto envisioned the two-level space as a place where designers collections could “come to life.” Hmm. Pragmatically speaking, that means each collection is displayed in its entirety — a rarity on the retail front.
And the art installations help create a boutique-meets-gallery vibe. Israeli artist Gal Harpaz, who works with Polaroid film to capture his world in “fragments,” will be the first exhibitor.
But, ultimately, the store’s high-lower mix of merch looks to be the main draw. How many boutiques exist where you can pick up a floaty Marchesa frock and super skinny Diesel denim? Might just be a winning concoction in this crap economy.
