I remember covering Space 15Twenty when it was nearing its grand opening in 2008–then having to postpone said opening when a second floor space above Urban Outfitters caught fire and ruined a bunch of merchandise. Hardly an auspicious start, but it has grown on me: What Goes Around Comes Around, the SoHo vintage shop that opened at 15Twenty last year, is a great addition to the city’s independent retail scene. Co-founders Seth Weisser and Gerard Maione were on hand last night to fete their first anniversary in L.A., and to show off their read-to-wear collection. Though they’re both steeped in vintage, the collection, as Weisser rightly pointed out, doesn’t have the dusty/faux wear-and-tear of, say, RRL. And it’s a lot more affordable. Peaches Geldof was on hand to celebrate, as was Amanda de Cadenet’s daughter, Atlanta, and … well, frankly I
didn’t recognize a lot more names of the up-and-comers who showed up (turning 30 has its stark disadvantages). But it was a fun, chic crowd, and the clothes were sublime. Looking forward to seeing another year of RTW collections from this duo, as well as their vintage finds.

We’re on the cusp of Cupid’s birthday and the invites are already pouring in (alas, for fashiony work shindigs…not dinner dates). But whatever February 14th brings, we could definitely use a new dress. Luckily we just got an e-mail about

If a stroll down Melrose leaves you pressing your face to the glass at Alberta Feretti wondering why, oh God why, can’t you afford to buy just one little chiffon dress (um, yeah…hypothetically speaking, obviously), fret no more. Tonight, the tony shopping district from Melrose Place to Melrose Avenue between San Vicente and Orlando is hosting a night of sales and soirees. And shops including Temperley London, Vince, Diesel and Theory are all in on the fun.
