High fashion — once exclusive to the runways of such cities as Paris and New York — has found a new home on the Strip. Two Boutique, located at 400 S. Illinois Ave., opened its doors last week and own- ers Abe Traverso and Juliana Ogliari said the clothing store offers hip, fashionable apparel usually reserved for places other than Carbondale. “We felt that we could bring New York boutique flavor to Carbondale and keep it on a Carbondale budget,” Traverso said. “And bring a new vibe, a new atmosphere and kind of rejuvenate some of the Strip down on this end.” Traverso, a New York native, said the store carries vintage and hard-to-find articles of clothing, most of which come from inde- pendent designers. Despite the high fashion attitude, most of the street wear T-shirts are reasonably priced between $26 and $35, he said. Because the store features items from independent designers, Traverso said much of the clothing is available on a limited basis. “If we have five shirts, once they’re gone, they’re gone,” Traverso said. “We don’t want it to be where there is somebody else you’re going to run into wearing the same thing as you.” Traverso and Ogliari also said they hope to carry clothing designed by students from the university.
