Clothing Boutique + Art Gallery = New Found Inspiration

So I was on my way to fill out some paper work to get paid for a commercial I did last week and I came across this really unique boutique in Williamsburg on N 3rd Street. I've always been into shopping at vintage clothing stores and Williamsburg, Brooklyn harbours some of the best vintage clothing store where you can find some great pieces. There's the well-known, Beacon's Closet and The Buffalo Exchange where you can actually trade in clothing you have want to get rid of and either get cash for it or get credit to shop!(They are now now buying for Fall, BTW) In these times where pinching pennies is the answer, I know these businesses are doing phenomenal. Side Note: Having a clothing swap party with friends is also a great way to save money and add some flavor to the wardrobe - sensibly.

But, this boutique is not your typical vintage store because the merchandise is mostly from Japan!! Japanese street fashion a something that also inspires me...it's a WILD, CREATIVE, INVENTIVE, UNIQUE, AVANTE-GARDE, DARK, COLORFUL, TRENDY, and EXAGGERATED expression of personalized interpretation of style/fashion...So, anyways, not only is this place a Men's & Women's New/Vintage Clothing store but it also has an Japanese art gallery!!! OMG, as I walked deeper into the boutique I was surged with this excitement of discovery, emerging upon this back room filled with Japanese art!! Currently, the "SAKURA Exhibition" is showcased introducing an array of Japanese artist with intricate and whimsy. Truly, a place to retreat to and get inspired. The boutique sells prints of the works for ONLY $35 each which can make a great gift idea and the art is breathtaking and visually simulating. They carry Alexander McQueen accessories, vintage-inspired jewelry, sunglasses, shoes, stationary, and surprisingly livingware - go figure.
