green haute couture in LA
out of a dwindling number of haute couture houses in the world, there is a stunning example here in LA! lloyd klein's boutique and atelier is tucked into a stunning brick structure known as the Castle Building, an LA landmark. among his clients, hollywood royalty are greeted by a gothic turret and a wood moat. on the inside are original mission style beams, an original gilded archway and a mass of mirrors and grey suede walls. it is not surprising that lloyd was trained as an architect given the significance and beauty of the structure he selected as well as his intricate designs.
