After stints with Scoop and clothing company Rampage, Rochelle Gores has opened her own store, Arcade, in West Hollywood."The concept is based on 18th-Century European shopping malls called Arcades where designers would gather to show their collections," said Gores. Like those old bazaars, Arcade stocks big hitters like Emanuel Ungaro, Vivienne Westwood, and, Yigal Azrouël, alongside up-and-comers like Alexis Mabille, Lyn Devon,Gemma Kahng, as well as Neil Lane jewelry (co-designed by Gores), heaps of buttery leather handbags to pick through, valet parking and signature cocktails. Drinking and shopping? We're totally there.
