A League of Their Own
Confederacy Boutique Opens
The call is coming from inside the shop.
Don’t panic. It’s just a salesclerk on the other end of the vintage tele’s line (and seriously, she has no clue you’re stuck in the dressing room half jammed into those pants. Really.)
That’s just the way it goes at Confederacy, the east side’s new high-style emporium. Opening this weekend, it’s 5,000 square feet of fashion, beauty, art, culture, and impeccable service all the way.
Meander past the racks of girls’ Rag & Bone, Vena Cava, and Current/Elliott and the guys’ Shipley & Halmos and house line of bespoke suiting (a collabo with Stroke Albert Hammond Jr.), then wind through the courtyard cafe to find Loeffler Randall, Common Projects, and Givenchy in the shoe living room. Make an appointment for the Tea Room, and stylist Ilaria Urbinati (who co-owns the joint with Danny Masterson and Aly Mawji) will bring it all to you.
Clearly, they’re not just phoning it in.
Confederacy, 4661 Hollywood Boulevard, between North Vermont and Hillhurst Avenues, Los Feliz (323-913-3040).
