Sacred Shopping

Fashion fanatics have been flocking to a West Hollywood sanctuary dedicated to the appreciation of art, fashion, design and luxury since 2009. The best place to find cult LA brands happens to be nestled under a thick, elegantly concealed blanket of ivy that lacks any visible signage. Church Boutique is a leader in West Hollywood’s avant-garde fashion culture and it is here at this pricey, exclusive, and contemporary shrine you will discover the most understated yet stimulating environment for fashionistas. Attracting celebrities, stylists and photographers from all over the world, Church offers clothing from over 50 cutting edge designers that hang from old pipes, rope, and splintered wood.

Church also offers jewelry, accessories, and more inside a 5,000 square-foot former upholstery shop built in 1946. Owners Rodney Burns and David Malvaney previously worked at Maxfield- that other temple of fashion nearby- and have styled countless celebrities. The gothic inspired space is a creative collaboration that changes daily, and looks as much as an art installation as it does a high-end boutique. On any given day there may be a fashion shoot, an event, or several A-listers mulling about the racks that display women’s and men’s fashions. Although this Church is closed on Sunday’s, you can worship every other day of the week. www.churchboutique.com
