"We are thrilled to finally open our new shop in Los Angeles. We have fond memories of our time there and especially love the influence of Old Hollywood. Vivienne's designs speak to this timeless sentiment; we look forward to opening our doors to our existing clients and introducing the brand to a new customer base," said Andreas Kronthaler, Creative Director of Vivienne Westwood.
"It's going to be very convenient for people who want to look drop-dead glamorous, and LA is full of people who want to dress up," said Vivienne Westwood.
