FLAGSHIP BOUTIQUE
The Flagship Boutique in Los Angeles on Melrose Avenue
houses the World of Kelly Wearstler. The store, designed
by Kelly Wearstler, is a destination experience where
customers will come to shop, explore, and be inspired.
The 2,400 square feet store carries the entire ready–to–wear,
jewelry, clutches, scarves and home accessories collection
as well as limited edition home furnishings and opened
in November 2011.
The Kelly Wearstler Decorative Home Collection has brought
a unique approach to the arena of décor and home accessories.
Each season is designed by Wearstler and features hand
crafted pieces that are both timelessly classic and uniquely edgy.
The collections are composed of natural materials such as marble,
wood, stone, ceramic and bronze. Several pieces are created
on a limited edition basis, hand signed by Kelly, becoming
collector’s items of the most luxurious nature.
DECORATIVE HOME COLLECTION
Kelly Wearstler has always been drawn to the rock and roll
aesthetic, and underground punk style. Her own wardrobe reflects
her love of the raw, edgy vibe that dominates the culture of rock,
and Wearstler drew from that deep well of inspiration for her
Pre Fall 2012 collection. “My sons are in a band called
The Negotiators, and when they got booked to play the Whiskey
we spent a lot of time considering what they would wear,
researching bands like The Smiths, and 70s era David Bowie.
Their wardrobe for that performance became the point of
departure for my Pre–Fall collection,” offers Wearstler.
Bands like Flock of Seagulls, Thomas Dalby, and the Clash
all influenced the direction of this season. The Junkie Jacket,
for example, is a classic black leather motorcycle jacket, and
the Grunge Shirt is, as its name suggests, a button front with a
distressed, worn in feel. The collection also includes several new
items of jewelry, each incorporating the classic, simple form of
a sphere. Colors clash, and patterns collide in Wearstler’s
Pre Fall collection with the same discordant harmony found in
the best rock and roll anthems.
