Space 15 Twenty: Shop.Art.Music.



Are you tired of malls, outlet malls, mini malls, outdoor malls....just need a new way to shop that will inspire you rather than drain your soul or your wallet? Yes? Then check out this new concept from Urban Outfitters...

"A new retail experiment in Hollywood, CA, Space 15 Twenty creates an opportunity for Urban Outfitters to collaborate with creative brands we find inspiring and interesting.

A courtyard leads from each store to an outdoor performance space and adjoining gallery. Both of which encourage designers and artists to become part of a curated environment. Working with neighboring music, film and art establishments, both courtyard and adjoining gallery will present a rotating cast of local musicians and artists.

The Urban Outfitters store will feature one-off installations by a new designer every few months. Alongside the 11,000 square foot Urban Outfitters store, Space 15 Twenty will host a selection of vendors. The revolving brands utilizing these spaces will reflect and compliment Urban Outfitters and present our customers with an overarching view of people and brands which are excited to be aligned with."

Peep the site to see current events and what designers/artists they are linked with at the moment. I'm definitely checking this out when I'm back in LA in December.
