Is Los Angeles poised for a fashion renaissance? If so, then Vivienne Westwood will have had a hand in it!

The iconic and iconoclastic designer has just opened a boutique on LA’s Melrose Avenue, conveniently located next door to Paul Smith in case you’re in LA and missing British fashion, or at least missing proper clothes other than jeans and flip flops.

Currently the only stateside Vivienne Westwood boutique, the store carries all lines including Red Label, Gold Label, Man and Anglomania. It opened February 14^th after a year of renovations using eco-friendly materials.

Hollywood has already begun snapping up looks, including Glee’s Dianna Agron who wore Westwood to the 2011 Grammy Awards.
