More on the A. Turen Boutique:
You can spot the A. Turen boutique at 85 Stanton Street
by looking for the oversized Lalique doorknob on its
glass entryway. From the Native Union POP Phones, to
the hand-painted A. Turen leggings and vintage concert
t-shirt on the mannequin in the window, stepping into A.
Turen is like stepping into the young designer's home
where you can find all of the things that she loves
most. The designers she showcases and sells are all
young, modern, downtown and edgy (exemplary of the LES).
The Fall collections featured in the store include Timo
Weiland, Lars Andersson, Pas de Calais, Stina Baaz and
Kimberly Ovitz. Turen also hand paints one of a kind
designs on fashions ranging from vintage Levis shorts
and leather jackets, to Chanel & Balenciaga bags, which
have a celeb following that includes Ke$ha and Taylor
Momsen.
