Foundry
With Alexa Chung’s stamp of approval, Foundry has already made a huge splash in its short L.A. lifespan. Run by young curator Aedan Macdonald, the shop features emerging and hard to find men's and women's labels from New York, Britain, Scandinavia, Australia, and Asia. Go to check out collections by Brooklyn-based designer Samantha Pleet, and don’t miss Finnish line Samuji while you’re at it.
Foundry, 7955 Melrose Avenue (between North Edinburgh and North Hayworth Avenues); 310-935-1579.
