Outrageous Good Fortune

If wearing vintage were easy, we’d all be stylish.

Take a pinch of Audrey in the ’50s, mix it with a little Jackie ’60s, add a splash of Bianca from the ’70s, and — presto! — the perfect timeless outfit.

Sadly, that’s not the case. Vintage is tough. You spend hours searching, and when you finally find it, it doesn’t fit.

Your fashion fairy godmother has arrived. Eva Fortune is a vintage-inspired clothing line by LA locals Sugar Marie and Zanne Hassenfelt. Their original pieces have a ’70s hippie feel. But Eva Fortune’s gems are the vintage clothes, which are tweaked to custom fit your body. And you’ll be in good company: The threads have been spotted on Nelly Furtado and Pink, and Jewel wore a reworked kimono to the VH1 awards.

East meets west. Old meets new. You choose the Hollywood pitch. And wear it well.


Eva Fortune is available at Monkie, 2665 Main Street, Santa Monica (310-450-4512); and Traffic, 8620 Sunset Boulevard, at Sunset Plaza (310-657-5469).
