Pop Life
More than 300 people packed Los Angeles–based Xin on June 22 when the boutique hosted a gallery show for the artist Chase. The 29-year-old single-named artist has painted pop art–inspired murals in Tokyo, Berlin and Los Angeles’ Venice Beach. He also reportedly painted murals for fashion-trade event Designers and Agents. More than 30 of the Antwerp, Belgium–born artist’s paintings were for sale at the event. Xin co-owners Gordon Morikawa and Neely Shearer have hosted art exhibitions in the past at their 7-year-old store. “It’s not just about clothing,” Morikawa said. “It’s about art. It’s about everything.” (Morikawa and Shearer are pictured next to Chase, center, with false teeth.) —Andrew Asch
