When L’Enfant designed this fair city, he modeled it on Paris, envisioning exquisite architecture and the latest high fashion.

He’s doubtless spinning in his grave over the indestructible hairdos and ill-fitting synthetic power suits that pass for style on the Hill today.

Tomorrow, Parisian influence makes a comeback with the opening of tiny boutique Rue 14.

The upstairs nook features affordable, fun designers like Plastic Island, BB Dakota, and 39SixtyOne as well as an array of emerging denim labels.

Co-owner Jiwon Paik-Nguyen grew up in the area before working in New York fashion. She and her husband, Andrew, also tackle clothing for men in the chipper gray and yellow space.

One visit will up your style quotient.

And bring about a new sort of French revolution.

Rue 14, 1803a 14th Street NW, between S and T Streets (202-462-6200 or rue14.com).
