Madison Los Angeles

All dressed up and nowhere to go? You must be in the dressing room at Madison. Though there are several outposts throughout L.A. (including a designer boutique in Malibu), the West Hollywood location stocks the freshest finds from young, local talent and more established arbiters of style, too.
