SHOP STOP: Madison

When you talk about shopping in LA, it’s pretty much sacreligious not to mention the city’s staple specialty, MADISON.  We stopped by their flagship on 3rd street a couple days ago to check out some new SPRING merchandise…all the S/S 2012 collections are in full bloom!

So unless you live under a rock, you can tell that NAUTICAL is going to be a HUGE trend for spring – we are loving the UNEVEN HEM maxi by ELIZABETH & JAMES, and SPLENDID made some super cute STRIPES that are not only HOT ITEMS, but so comfortable. Also, BOHO is back (don’t think it ever goes away in LA). It’s fresh this time around with less concentration on florals and more focused on vintage-inspired textiles like CROCHET & VELVET. Possibly one of the most versatile spring trends, OPEN WEAVE KNITS are items that can work for everyone. We LOVE the PASTEL short sleeve by SPLENDID, the DRAPED CARDIGAN by 12th STREET CYNTHIA VINCENT, and the COLD SHOULDER by one of our favorites, HELMUT LANG. Always being a step ahead on WHAT’S HOT, MADISON will forever be our home for everything fabulous. Oh, and their collection of basics (i.e. T by ALEXANDER WANG, EQUIPTMENT, NATION) doesn’t suck either

Check out all of their 6 locations, each one is so unique to it’s own space…and SHOP online!
