Ticket to Ride

Mayer Clothing

Vacation’s all you ever wanted.

Sadly, your landlady doesn’t share your hopes and dreams. (Geez, old Rhonda’s so unsupportive.)

Get away in Mayer. The new collection of vintage caftan-inspired frocks and tops was made with exotic destinations in mind but looks just as good going nowhere fast.

Do as designer Jenny Galluzzo did and channel Auntie Mame in floaty crinkle chiffon; picture the Lovey on Mrs. Howell as a beachy bohemian; or throw on Darling a la Julie Christie, a pin-tuck-front ’70s-esque dress with charmeuse detailing.

Some ikat pieces are available now, but you can get a sneak peek at the next exclusive prints and preorder your favorites at the trunk show tomorrow night at Presse Boutique.

You really are going places.

Available at Presse Boutique, 326 South La Brea Avenue, between Third and Fourth Streets, La Brea Corridor (323-937-1560 or presseboutique.com). Trunk show and launch party, Thursday, 5-7 p.m. To see styles, go to mayer-studio.com.
