There’s a new Octavio Carlin boutique at 309 N. Kings Rd.and a lively soiree celebrated the debut of the new studio on Sept. 27.
This atelier also could be called a loss for Los Angeles’ Eastside. Carlin told the Apparel News in a recent interview that he is a committed Eastsider, but he moved his boutique to Los Angeles’ Westside because more than 70 percent of his clientele lives on the West of La Brea Avenue, and now they will have an easier time visiting his shop for his red carpet gowns, cocktail dresses and bridal.
For his new place, he will offer some unique fashions made in small runs. Also in Octavio’s new shop, a display of his Fall and Winter 2012 collection. “It is very structured. It is very comfortable. There is a lot of jersey and silk in the collection,” he said of his styles. And for those who want to avoid Sofia Vergara wardrobe malfunctions; no zippers here!
