Cynthia Rowley & a Bunch of NY Designers Pop Up in Hollywood.

By Laura Medina



Arts & Leisure at Space 15Twenty on 1520 N. Cahuenga Blvd. and Erin Krause & Chrissie Miller.


Last year it was the Cynthia Rowley "Fashion Truck" making various stops in Southern California.


Now, Cynthia Rowley is resting her feet, along with other notable Manhattan designers such as Proenza Schouler, Rogan, Sophomore, Three as Four, Vena Cava, and Imitation by Tara Subkoff, at alternative shopping center-cum-art space, Space 15Twenty at 1520 North Cahuenga Boulevard in the heart of Hollywood, across the street from ArcLight Cinema.




Cynthia Rowley's Limited Edition Print Dresses for Gagosian Gallery.

Truth be told, Cynthia Rowley and her fellow designers are a part of a month-long collaboration between Sophomore's Chrissie Miller and Donald Baechler Studio's Erin Krause.


From today until August 28th, Miller brings the best of New York fashion while Krause curates an art gallery and magazine shop, all inside a pop-up fashion boutique/art gallery space, tagged "Arts & Leisure" for the entire month of August.


In addition to her limited edition Gagosian Print Dresses, Miller and Krause also stocks California-appropriate ruffle bikinis and sundresses with gold foil overlays.


For the Do-It-Yourselfs, Arts & Leisure also sells Cythnia Rowley sewing kits.


Hollywood's smart set came out in droves to celebrate the shop's opening.


Not your stereotypical Hollywood nightclub set, this crowd brought some innovations and effort.


These fuzzy, high heel pink bunny slippers are the max in style and comfort.


The smart set enjoying the edgy book and magazine section.

If Sophomore's Chrissie Miller and Donald Baechler Studio's Erin Krause brought a little bit of Manhattan into Hollywood, then Hollywood's smart set and style subset returned the respect in their finest.


The skater kid with skateboard strapped to his back. Black lace palazzo trousers replaced jeans. The white fur vest never goes out of style. Sequins turn into a sweater dress.


It is nice to see true Hollywood style inject some intellect while welcoming Arts & Leisure.


If you want to fulfill your Manhattan fashion fix, hurry on over to Space 15Twenty on 1520 North Cahuenga Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90028.


It is open Wednesday to Sunday from 12pm until 8pm. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Last until August 28th.
