CHURCH BOUTIQUE | 21 NOVEMBER 2024 | 8063 BEVERLY BLVD.
Step into Merle’s Closet for an insider’s view of the inner world of L.A. style.
CHURCH BOUTIQUE on Beverly Blvd. is one of L.A.’s coolest and without a doubt, eclectic shops. Almost a religious experience, it’s a wonderland of furnishings (art deco covered couchettes, fainting chairs, sexy, ergonomically appointed chairs, leopard covered stools, unique (aka: edgy) jewelry, small batch designer clothes and knits, plus vintage items and purses from almost every luxe brand. It was the perfect place to set a “holiday shopping party” – that rare L.A. hybrid breed of wine, chocolate fondue and sparkly clothes for sale, that Church owners Rodney Church and David Malvaney specialize in.PARTICULARLY when the designer is. L.A. homegirl Jeannine Braden, born and raised in Venice CA, and longtime star of the L.A. fashion set. A few decades ago, she created two early standout boutiques packed with hand selected mixes of high designer pieces with rare cool finds: Flair at Fred Segal Santa Monica, and Post 26 at Brentwood Country Mart. As a stylist, Braden’s celeb clientele included Alanis Morisette, the Go-Go’s and Belinda Carlisle; she also did repping and buying for brands. Stepping out as creative director, she founded Le Superbe five years ago: a line combining the sunny vibes of SoCal and a mix of items straight off a stylist’s rack: meaning, high and low looks, designer shapes and fabrics, with denim, t-shirts, cardi’s and cami’s, sweatshirts and cargo pants – day into evening, weeknight cocktails to weekend chillout.

CHURCH BOUTIQUE | 21 NOVEMBER 2024 | 8063 BEVERLY BLVD.
This poster girl for L.A. style specializes in layering opposites: tailoring and tough, vs. soft shapes and fuzzy fabrics. She came out of the gate in 2019 with Le Superbe’s rare combo of fluid and glamourous pieces – dresses and separates made to mix and match, enhancing what’s already in your closet and freshening up your style outlook. Of her many collections a year: pre fall, fall, holiday, pre-spring, spring/summer, certain wearable silhouettes are staples: mini-skirts, midi pencil skirts, metallic and matte pleated skirts, sexy dresses, easy breezy dresses, killer cardigans, cargo pants, embellished denims, fuzzy throw-on “chub jackets” in varied hues – holiday is def my fave of hers, every year. It’s a season of somehow subtle sequins, cozy bejeweled sweaters, lurex gold and silver weaves, faux furs, print bombers, scarf tie chiffon blouses, all in classic flattering shapes. Le Superbe’s collections can be found, season after season, at Saks, Neiman’s, Anthropologie, Shopbop, Revolve and ShopLeSuperbe.comThe most popular items at Church/Le Superbe’s shopping party? I can tell you my two faves: the Panthera faux fur leopard teddy coat and equally leopard Panthera Extra Kate midi dress in viscose and spandex. I started wearing the Panthera teddy coat in mid November – it’s warm and fuzzy, but amusingly chic (usually polar opposites). In it, I get stopped CONSTANTLY: in grocery stores, coffee shops, luxury hotels, screenings, Sephora, my sushi stops – I mean, everywhere. A good three times a day – no exaggeration. I’ve worn some pretty fabulous things in my time (over 30 years as a fashion/culture writer/editor) – trust me on this – and not one of them – not my prized Saint Laurent cropped motorcycle jacket, my wardrobe of Dries, my Margiela mixed print heels, my vintage fuchsia Versace couture coat, not my rare Gaultier’s, not my over the top LV-one-of-a-kind bags – have ever garnered this kind of eye (I) catching. Underneath it I donned Le Superbe’s Extra Kate dress, a leopard stretchy wrap wirh loads of leg. Two tone leopard is where it’s at, baby! Just ask Gwen Stefani. The coat clouds your bod in softness, the dress clings like a slip. The coat came off and on all night, as I mingled with co-host Normandie Keith, the Go-Go’s Charlotte Caffey (the band’s on tour spring 2025 at both Coachella and Cruel World), Siobhan Fahey of Bananarama and Shakespeare’s sister, manager Joanne Horowtiz (who bought the Extra Kate dress cause it looked so good on me), designers Henry Duarte and William B., boulevardier Lionel Geneste, THR culture editor Ben Svetkey and his photographer wife Lenka Ulrichova, plus photographers extraordinaire Michele Laurita and Thomas Drotar.
MG: Just how many holiday collections has Le Superbe done now?
JS: Five.
MG: You always do great separates for holiday (November through February). It’s so convenient; a sweater with a sequin skirt is much comfier tight leggings or a bodycon dress..
JS: Well, we give you that option too. I love to provide a lot of options – as stylist and designer, that’s what I’m always looking for. We always do great dresses too. What I’ve noticed about our customer: a lot of buyers like to buy sets. So they don’t have to think about it. Then they have a full outfit, but it’s wearable in so many other ways. My goal is always: no look should be just one and done. There are always hero pieces in your wardrobe – the statement piece, like a glitter dress or sequins. Those are so extra they jusr don’t go in and out. A black sequin dress can go to a cocktail event, a movie premier, or a date. You can tone them down with flats and/or a sweater, dress them up with heels and faux fur. Sequins are always relevant. There’s a reason rock stars, big entertainers, wear sequins. (Think Bob Mackie) And they’re actually forgiving. You can be curvy, lots of bodies look good in stretchy sequin pieces. You have to be somewhat loud and proud to wear them – but this is Los Angeles. You don’t want to hide.
MG: Didn’t you start Le Superbe with sequins? I’ve seen you wear them a lot.
JB: My holiday philosophy is: dressing up should be fun. But so should dressing up in general. Every time I wear a piece, I hear, “Where’d you get that?” Women who shopped at my store years ago still have pieces they bought there. They are still special five years later. My t-shirts always have a sense of humor, every Le Superbe piece is a little cheeky. Yes, we started off with sequin pieces; it’s in our DNA. You’ll always find sequin or embellished pieces in Le Superbe. I believe in extra – but not untouchable.
MG: You always do Christmas sweaters, but they’re far from ugly.
JB: Definitely not ugly. We use jacquard techniques (design motifs in various prints) – it’snot easy. They are better sweaters than many brands because they’re unique – both cardigans and pullovers. I make them for real people to feel special. They’re “IT” pieces, but not elitest. Because I have a background as a stylist – particularly to musicians – sparkle’s very familiar to me. In my longtime yoga practice, I’ve learned it’s always important for people to shine. I certainly did that in my work with the Go-Go’s and longtime friend and client Belinda Carlisle.
MG: Tell me about the names of some of these dresses for big holiday parties?
JB: Normandy Keith was wearing the Late Night Kate Dress – it’s a long sleeved sheath that’s clingy but not overtly body-con – it’s quite forgiving and comfortable. We do the Kate dress almost every season – I named it for Kate Moss; I saw her wearing a dress like this on a date with Johnny Depp many years ago. Normandy’s faux fur check jacket is the On the Walk Bomber. My skirt was the Glamour Granny Square– reminds me of the crochet craze of the 70’s, but with sequins. My Midnight Fur Ever sequin chubby jacket sold out – inspired by 70’s rock stars. DJ/model Vilena was wearing our Twiggy dress – reminds me of an old video of Twiggy in a long sleeve sequin mini.
MG: What’s the best look for holiday entertaining at home?
JB: I’d recommend the slightly whimsical Extra Crewneck sweater– the feather cuffs come off. You can wear it every day or have it be your holiday outfit. I’d wear that with our black or creamy viscose camo pants and a ballerina flat. The pants also look good with its matching top, the Glistening BF shirt in black or silver. It makes everything super easy. I love all of our “extra” pieces: the sequin Pouchette mini skirt, which stretches when you move. And the multi-hued beaded Floral Sequin bomber in autumnal colors. Throw that over anything and it’s a holiday.
HERE COMES THE FUZZ
L.A.`s perennial fashion trend: layering - went full frontal at this weekend`s Pickwick Vintage Fair: chill weather vintage coat`s ruled, though most were far from chill. Fuzzy: faux fur, chubby`s, woolly bullies, animal prints: the coat is the thing right now. So are popcorn knits from the 70`s - the fluffier the better. Suede and leather were standouts for sale: leather looks in lipstick red, fluorescent lime, butter yellow - and suede jackets, fringed or plain fun, in every shade of 70`s brown: cigar, burnt umber, chestnut, smoky topaz - and of course, this year`s new/old hue: mocha mousse. How 70`s can you get? Answer: At Pickwick, very.

Players Gonna Play, Play, Play: Taylor Swift’s Game-Day Fashion
By Merle Ginsberg
Some people love sports sweepstakes. But give me fashion sweepstakes anyday. NFL football celebrates strength, agility, speed, grit.
Yet Taylor Swift`s sartorial presence has added another dimension: Kansas City Chief`s games are now non-stop red carpet runway, where we get to see the world`s biggest (richest) pop star dressing up - and dressing down - for her biggest audience of all time. Two hundred million people catch the Super Bowl.
My story in The Hollywood Reporter illustrates how Taylor`s played the game: she`s the Chief`s cheerleader, but she`s also their smartest weapon: wielding her unique combo of sporty spice with high luxe fashion. And everything she touches (wears) turns to cash register gold.

COSTUME PARTY:
Four-time Oscar nominated costume designer Arianne Phillips (A Complete Unknown, Walk the Line, W.E., Once Upon a Time In Hollywood) woke up to her fourth nom on Jan. 23; she`d already scored a BAFTA nom for her work in the Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown. But weeks before this, ASU’s FIDM fashion school then honored her with costume exhibit down at their downtown HQ, with many of Timothee Chalamet, Monica Barbaro and Elle Fanning’s looks right there to touch and feel. “I grew up in the West Village,” Philips, an old pal (and former Madonna stylist), told me. “I grew up with Bob Dylan. What people don’t know is that he actually was a style icon. He never wore shoes – only boots – now true of many guys. After he met The Beatles in 1964, he amped up his game with more mod swagger. I think he influenced Bob generation of male dressing. Timothee had sixty-seven costume changes!

ANGELS IN WEHO????
We know about Angels in America. But till this pre-Thanksgiving sighting, we had no idea angels roam the streets of WeHo. Driving down Santa Monica Boulevard on a chilly Sunday, we spotted a shirtless youth with longish hair strutting, sans shirt – with only giant fluffy white angel wings fluttering from his shoulders for protection. When ask why, he smiled ear to ear: “I think we’re needed more than ever right now.” We can’t argue with that. Then he soared into Bottega Louie for one of their heavenly almond croissants. @visitweho @angelsinweho @angels.in.america @angelsinamerica_teatro
Le Superbe at Church Boutique
What better place to host a holiday season/Christmas/Hannukah shopping party than a boutique named Church? Shopping is a religion at Rodney Burns` and David Mulvaney`s emporium of eclectic eccentric furnishings, art and fashion from far-flung tk. They served vino and chocolate fondue to rabid LeSuperbe shoppers, the L.A. brand designed by this town`s fashion fixture Jeannine Braden. Holiday, the brand`s most coveted season, is famed for its chunky faux furs and sequin bodycon slinks. Among the high profile guests: Bananarama /Shakespeare`s sister singer Siobhan Fahey, the GoGo`s Charlotte Caffey, Michelle Laurita and Thomas Drotar. Oh, and me - all decked out in LeSuperbe celebratory leopard. Me-OW!

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

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.
We ask you to follow us here on Instagram at #icandyla and visit us at https://LAmoodboard.com to get an overview of the latest fashion and cultural trends happening in Los Angeles (and in New York this upcoming week.) Capturing its myriad essence is our goal.
