More About

GREY AREA
Speaking of style, designer Allison Burns (the gal who had us all carrying metallic crescent bags a few years back) and Caprice Grey have opened shop in Silver Lake’s Sunset Junction, taking over half of the space inside perennial fave Pull My Daisy, which was supposed to be closing but has opted instead to stay put thanks to the new partnership. The opening party Sunday saw a procession of fashionable types (Lisa Edelstein,Rachel Perry,Monah Li,Billy Morrison,Rocco DeLuca,Michael Des Barres and Kari Feinstein) there to well-wish and likely fulfill wish lists for rock star–chic accessories from likes of White Trash Charms, Joseph Brooks,Sid Vintage and Cynthia Vincent (whom Burns currently works with). With a special DJ mix via NYC diva Miss Guy on the stereo, abovementioned Miss Michelle Carr ringin’ up sales, and the art of Maria Penn (best known for her cover piece on the 1984 Siouxsie and the Banshees album, Hyaena) on the walls, this is one eclectic retail haven, indeed, and more art events are to come. Can’t wait to see what they’ll have planned for the SJ Street Festival, which we’re told will return to its old route along Sunset and outside of the shop again this year.
