NAME: TrinaMaraczi | Topher Gerzei
THEIR STORY: The platinum couple has a thing about twinning. Photographer Topher Gerzei, on the right, picked up his earth tone suede jacket at Wasteland – and his disco 70’s jeans. Shoes by Camper. Tech marketing exec Trina Maraczi, on the left, is also a fashion blogger (Literally Tina). She foraged her gold necklaces on Etsy (“all real”), sunglasses from Dior, jacket from a 2014 YSL collection, boots from Jonak Paris, vintage jeans from Wasteland, cami from Zadig & Voltaire. Looks like they must have matching closets.

Come into Merle’s Closet for an insider’s view of the inner world of L.A. style.
There are beaucoup de conversations at the monthly Pickwick Vintage Show at The Row DTLA: its 70 plus vendors and their loyal flocks don’t do costume party. They do them – splendiferously. Singularly. I used to think vintage chicks, vintage chic, were camp – even kitsch. Shopping Pickwick a couple times, I now see them – us – as full-fledged epicureans.
NAME: Amanda Suter
HER STORY: “It’s my hair,” insists Amanda of her striking white bubblecut, who reminds of Stockard Channing’s Rizzo in “Grease.” “You should have seen it before – it was down to here,” she says, pointing to her hip. Clearly she likes to play hair Houdini: “Before that, I shaved my head for three years.” A punk thing? – we inquired. “No,” she remarked flatly. Her white 1950’s cardi from Pickwick, jeans from Frederick’s of Hollywood (yes, that Frederick’s).

NAME: Kayla Dickie

Brady Mulhern, who does marketing and ecom for the monthly vintage fare, pairs an 80’s vintage YSL jacket with print shorts over tights, with vintage Ralph Lauren boots. Only the MiuMiu sunglasses are new. “I have an amazing closet,” the vintage collector admits. We don’t doubt it.

His leather cap bag by J.W. Anderson, and vintage YSL red Johnny boots they found on Grailed. “It’s his first pair of high heels,” laughed Eleanor.
TAGS: @yoram @eleanors.closet
NAME: Lorraine Toomey
HER STORY: No wonder Lorraine Toomey’s so colorful – she’s a wardrobe costumer. That crazy fab blue coat’s from Saks, dress by Mr. Dino (whoever that is), the orange ice cream scarf from one of the scarf booths at Pickwick, new white YSL glasses (“prescription”) – that yellow and blue Gucci bag is from Gucci’s Allesandro Michele rainbow days.

NAME: Debutante Clothing
HER STORY: Sandra Mendoza is the owner of Debutante Clothing. She has been selling vintage for over 25 years. The name Debutante Clothing came from the Blondie song Dreaming…”When you met me in the restaurant, You could tell I was no debutante”. Sandra says, “For me, vintage, upcycled/recycled clothing allows anyone to have true style, look unique, stand out, and wear iconic labels and designers. The antithesis of trends and fashion rules. I gravitate towards mid century styles, but absolutely love pieces with unexpected findings and details.”

PICKWICK VINTAGE AT THE ROW
Downtown Los Angeles
16 November 2024
Sweater weather has finally landed at the Pickwick Vintage Fair. Just give these antique clothes devotees a little drop in degrees - out come the boots, suede jackets, tights, faux furs, leathers, plaids. Layering`s a distinctly L.A. obsession - particularly here, when, given the chance, L.A.`s sartorial stalwarts pile onfringe, feathers and funky footwear. Duly noted: fashionista shoppers like designer Trina Turk, designer/stylist Jeannine Braden and dresser par excellence, Judy Jimenez.
This past Saturday we returned to The Row for the always exciting Pickwick Vintage. This time we concentrated on the Vendors and asked them how they find such treasures. Passionate and dedicated all, there responses did not disappoint. Please find said clips on our website https://lamoodboard.com in the next week

Look who WE found at the Downtown Modernism marketplace in Vernon: L.A. stylistas Henry Duarte – the unique denim/leather clothing designer who hails from the L.A. 80’s and dressed every cool rocker around; Church Boutique’s supercool Rodney Burns, who doubles as Lenny Kravitz’s image consultant – and our great friend Jeannine Braden, former retailer, now designer/artistic director of the LeSuperbe line (I donned her leopard shirt), which you can and should purchase on ShopLeSuperbe.com.

MaxMara
Chateau Marmont | Hollywood
At the at least decade long annual event, the cocktail party for the MaxMara "Face of the Future" - this year awarded to Joey King - we noticed something seriously cool: the retro elevator to the first floor garden where it`s held, has long curtains tied at the sides in front of it - and a small round mirror behind it. It looks like a Vermeer and van Eyck reference, don`t they? "Girl With the Pearl Earring" and "The Arnolfini" - or what? And appropriately, there were a lot of pearl earrings headed up to the event, produced by David Rodgers Inc.

A.L.C. STORE OPENING
CAPTURING THE CROWD AND CELEBRATING HER NEW STORE
Everyone thinks fashion events: upscale store openings and dinners and the like, with editors, designers, stylists and requisite celebs are so glamourous. Problem is – they are. But along with that tasteful turf: the pressure of what to wear - dressing in the style of the designer/brand? Or is that trying too hard? Constant small talk, obtaining quotes (for coverage) – and a degree of formality that comes with being “on,” can take a toll - physically, mentally, socially.
Which is why the mid October opening of the new Beverly Drive ALC store – the third L.A. locale from founder/designer and L.A. homegirl and former stylist Andrea Lieberman (Pacific Palisades, Malibu – plus Soho, the Upper East Side and Hamptons in NY) was so – warm and fuzzy? Yes.

TODD SNYDER IS THE MAN OF THE HOUR
For spring/summer 2025, former J. Crew designer Todd Snyder, now the purveyor of two Los Angeles stores - The Grove and Abbot Kinney - went softer, flowier, prettier, pinker, peacher and sky-blue-er than his tweedy fall fare. In classic mens` club spot Le Rock at Rockefeller Center - an uptown eatery for well-heeled martini culture - showed soft suits, soft layers and shorts suits that push the envelope of menswear. Hey - I`d wear these clothes - if they ever wind up in my boyfriend`s closet. This exquisite Snyder portfolio can be viewed at https://lamoodboard.com/events-30/

BEHIND THE SCENES | TODD SNYDER
NYFW SPRING/SUMMER 2025
For spring 2025, Todd Snyder – never one for conventional shows or conventional clothes – presented his menswear collection late afternoon at the Art Deco Stylist boite Le Rock at 45 Rockefeller Plaza on Sunday September 8.
Assembled in all their pastel glory in an empty floor upstairs, the guys in varied trench coat, shorts suit, satin jacket, baggy white linens looks, showed off slouchy silhouettes – one soft suit in a three piece wood rose hue – vogueing it up for the shutterbugs, under the steady gaze of Snyder himself, he and his tailors checking fits and stylish designer flip flops before the male entourage wound its way through Le Rock’s tables, like a style army staking out the best oysters and martinis the city has to offer.

TANNER FLETCHER: CAPTURING THE CROWD
Today we release the digital magazine (i-zine) of the innovative Tanner Fletcher show where we also “Captured the Crowd.” Those attendees decked to the 9’s. The full regalia may be viewed exclusively at LAmoodboard.com And be sure to check out our Tanner Fletcher: Fluid Luxury is more interesting than Quiet Luxury digital magazine; released yesterday and also exclusively available at LAmoodboard.com
Fashion Commentary from Merle’s Closet.
If there’s one thing more unique, joyous, iconoclastic and excellently eccentric than the adorable Brooklyn design duo Tanner Fletcher - Tanner Richie and Fletcher Kasell - is their buoyantly flamboyant - and rabid - crowd of (mostly young) fans and followers who practically vogued their way down west 26th St. on the way to their spring/summer show. Were they getting stopped to pose for their one-of-a-kind mash-up outfits - or were they fashion editors, layered up, posing as downtown boho`s? "I like to look at the collection and have it look like somebody`s closet,” Kasell explained as he and Richie greeted the TF faithful as they entered the multi room tableau theater, where actual models acted out the clothes. "There`s everyday stuff that`s easy to wear, but at the same time it`s fashion." Nothing every day about this cabal.

JONATHAN COHEN
Jonathan Cohen`s spring/summer is a real mishmash - in the best of all ways. Like famed fabric/print mixer-uppers before him (Betsey Johnson, Dries van Noten). One pink and blue tie dye sweater paired with a black and white print skirt says it all. Shapes are mishmashed too: strapless peplum mini dresses over loose pants, a red floral dress over a different hue-d midi skirt, over pants. All this layering might sound like a pile up, but it actually works - in a similar way to Marc Jacobs`s famed grunge collection. Call it "wunge" - whimisical grunge.

NANUSHKA
I`d never heard of label Nanushka, or its Hungarian designer Sandra Sandor, till I got an invite for this downtown runway show. Her lyrical collection was a lovely surprise: super wearable, cool but easy, flattering clothes made from uniquely textured fabrics - like a butter colored three tier fringe midi skirt paired with a simple black blazer. Business on the top, party on the bottom. Somehow this Budapest native created interesting clothes whose ideas (and there are plenty) don`t overwhelm their ease and attractiveness. Turns out, she and her husband also have four stores (NY, Budapest, London, Shanghai) with their own cafes. Please - can L.A. be next?

MARIE OLIVER
Sarah Doggett Evenson of Marie Oliver is the perfect customer for her colorful prints and easy pieces: a former finance femme who wants a much more freewheeling life, without heels, body shapers and wire push-up bras. For spring, the colorful was ever more color, the flowy dresses more flowy and the fabrics as soft as the ones on your lawn chairs.

MARKARIAN
Designer Alexandra O`Neill, better known as Ali, is now doing a bang-up bridal business, which is perfect Markarian material: the beading, fabrics from India, the delicacy of her fabrics and complex lace - spring 2025 conjures up a softer world, one of garden parties - or weddings - held in the midst beautiful greeney, toile china and gentlewomen of another era, who are only missing their parasols.
