Gone Hollywood
Move over New York, these days, our “Empire State of Mind” has turned to California cool.
Inspired by a Beverly Hills boutique, the new 17th Avenue Empire Collection shop is an ode to Hollywood glitz and glamour with mirror walls, maple floors, chandeliers and a maze-like space with plenty of fashion-filled nooks.
The boutique’s collections cater to the eclectic 17th Avenue crowd ranging from cardigans by Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent, cool tops by Ben Sherman and silk dresses by SuperTrash. There are plenty of gems for the boys too including a denim bar where shoppers can sit, sip on bubbly water and check out the blue jeans.
