Mimi in Fluxus

Mimi gets the inside scoop from a fellow mannequin at Fluxus.  This is a relatively new line of clothing, designed by Martin Paquette and made in Los Angeles.  I could have bought more than the two pieces Mimi is modeling since I loved everything in the store, but my two shopping buddies and I were in Santa Monica for our bi-annual shopping spree and we had only just begun.

Fluxus has two stores in the L.A. area:  one at Santa Monica Place and the other at Larchmont Village.  These are feel-good, no fuss clothes.  "Fluxus" is Latin meaning "to flow", and they do exactly that.  I love minimalist clothing (and Mimi tolerates it.)   The clothes can be worn a myriad of ways with different accessories.  I plan on buying a pair of coral sandals to give them some color.

We shopped the Promenade and Main Street before heading over to Montana Avenue.  I didn't find anything I liked as much as the Fluxus clothes UNTIL I walked into a store where I saw a pair of  Dries Van Noten pants and a dress that I would have happily traded my entire wardrobe for.  My shopping buddies wisely took me by the hand and led me out of there before I did something really stupid.

Ah, the shops on Montana Avenue.   I will return to take another look (when I win the lottery).

Another day.

Another post.
