Editorial Review for U.S. #1 – by Jennifer Olvera
The Scene
Artist wannabes trying their best to seem uninterested rifle through neatly categorized, bargain-priced duds. All the traditional dusty, musty thrift-chic apparel is on hand, but it's organized in an easy-to-peruse format. Staff is friendly but too busy looking busy to be much help.
The Goods
Polyester-heavy, ruffly garments; wacky patterned shirts; and vintage labels for those who just won't settle for trumped-up retro. With Latin-inspired bowling shirts, Izod polos and leather jackets in every hue of rust, there's something for every fly guy and gal. Look closely, and you might find an old Dior button-down. Suede fringe coats, neatly stacked jeans and cords, and well-kept Adidas, Nike and Converse tennies round off the old-school look.
