New California Swim Trade Show Riviera by CurvExpo to Launch in 2014 By Alison A. Nieder Executive Editor

California is getting a new swimwear trade show next year when Eurovet, the European trade show organizer and owner of CurvExpo, launches Riviera by CurvExpo in August. The show, which will be organized in partnership with ISAM (the International Swimwear and Activewear Mar- ket), will be held Aug. 11–12 at the Hyatt Regency Beach Resort and Spa in Huntington Beach, Calif. Plans call for 100 swimwear and activewear brands to exhibit. Organizers are targeting 200 of “the most wanted stores from California.” The new show is inspired by Eurovet’s Riviera by Mode City, launched last year and held annually in Cannes, France, to complement Eurovet’s Mode City swimwear and lingerie show in Paris. ➥ Riviera by CurvExpo page 4

Wasteland, the Los Angeles–area specialty- store chain, relaunched its e-commerce site (www. shopwasteland.com) recently. The retailer’s co- founder Cheryl Cohen hopes that the new website will bring Wasteland’s unique point-of-view to the rest of the world. “It allows us to express the Wasteland girl in a visual way,” Cohen said about the new website, which debuted on Oct. 30. “It gives us the opportunity to reach beyond California.” Wasteland has three bricks-and-mortar locations in the Los Ange- les area as well as a physical shop in San Francisco.

With the vast majority of Los Angeles real estate subject to the city’s infamous car culture, Fairfax also is one of the few streets in the city that enjoys a steady flow of pedestrian traffic. If you want to be part of the vanguard of the streetwear scene, Fairfax is the place to start.

Street pioneers A section of the storefront of the Odd 2013 Sponsors Future/Golfwang boutique at 410 N. Dennis Calvero and Rob Panlilio started their Fairfax prominent Crooks & Castles brand on Fairfax in 2006, when the thoroughfare was changing from a street lined by neighborhood-style businesses, restaurants and nightclubs into a place focused on streetwear. By 2007, they chose to open a branded store. But they wanted to make their boutique a destination, a place that would be a bit removed from the crowd. Crooks & Castles moved away from Fairfax, first to the Crescent Heights area of Melrose Ave- nue. The store closed in 2008, and more than a year later, Crooks & Castles opened a shop just off of the Sunset Plaza retail district in West Hollywood. It closed in 2011. But in September, Crooks & Castles returned to the neighborhood to open a 3,000-square-foot space at 455 N. Fairfax Ave. Designed by an in-house team led by Eames aficionado B.J. Calvero, vice president of sales, the store is a mix of mid-20th- century Case Study House architecture, modernist Diamond Supply Co.’s storefront on California style and gangster. The store features Fairfax Ave. It is located at 451 N. mid-century-style couches, Persian rugs and lamp Fairfax.

Liberty Trade Fairs As an individual show, our job is always to make sure we have all the relevant brands—a mix of the staples, fashion-forward and trend-based brands. It’s important to us that buyers see their existing accounts but also find something new at our show. At Liberty, we understand and live the market, and that’s what sets us apart from other shows. We also understand one trade show cannot service every seg- ment of the market without dilut- ing its individual identity. This is why Liberty has aligned with other great shows with the same point of view, each an expert in its own market category. The Mod- Engineering ern Assembly consists of Liberty, Capsule, Agenda and MRket and lives under one roof at The Vene- tian. We understand that our job the future is to service the industry and the buyers in the best way possible.

Mason Pacific may be a small eatery at the corner of Mason Street and Pacific Avenue, but it packs a big following with its well-curated menu, which is heavy on starters and appetizers, followed by pasta and main dishes. Almost everyone touts the fried feta that is molten in the middle and served over a pool of peas and fava beans. Another favorite starter is the braised Spanish octopus or the paper-thin Parmesan-dusted potato skins. The pasta is made right there in the restaurant’s kitchen, and choices range from sweet-potato ravioli to garganelli with lamb and Parmesan. When it comes to main dishes, despite a limited menu, there is something for everyone. Most everyone gushes over the New York steak served with a celery root puree or the market fish of the day that comes with grated cauliflower and pepperoncini sofrito (a Puerto Rican seasoning). The décor is that of a neighborhood bistro divided into two sections. The bar/lounge area is darker, with more wood and mar- ble countertops, while the dining area is more elegant and lighter in color. The people behind the restaurant are Shannon McTiernan Thomson, who decorated the interior, and her husband, Jay Thom- son, who has a stake in the Co- pain Vineyards. The chef is Shan- non’s brother, Sean McTiernan, who worked in several high-end French restaurants before relocat- ing to this side of the Atlantic. Be advised that street parking is practically non-existent in the neighborhood, but there is va- let parking.

Scotch & Soda 442 Lincoln Road (305) 673-5514 Scotch & Soda may be a retail chain, but sightings of the Euro- pean brand are rare in the United States. There are less than a dozen outposts in the U.S. Scotch & Soda opened its first South Beach location in a com- pact space on the Lincoln Road pedestrian mall. If you like European-influenced contemporary fashions that veer toward the casual, this place is for you. There are clothes for men, women and children. The Amsterdam-based line has gone through a makeover in the last decade, having been taken over by three new owners in 2001. The line of mostly menswear was relaunched for Spring/Summer 2002 with offerings for children and women coming later. The retailer launched a new line of premium denim, called Amsterdam Blauw, in 2010. Prices for most things range from $100 to $350. Women’s rib-cord skinny-leg pants sell for $129. A silk Oriental jacquard women’s top goes for $169. And a black dress with lace inserts carries a $169 price tag.

A favorite has been the crab curry served with thin rice noodles or the shrimp satay with peanut sauce and cu- cumber salad. No Thai restaurant would really be authentic without green papaya salad served with a spicy lime dressing or lemongrass soup with shrimp and mushrooms. The menu goes on for three pages, so there is lots to explore. Chada Thai only serves dinner but remains open until 3 a.m.

Electric Lemonade Shop 220 E. Charleston Blvd. (702) 776-7766 www.electriclemonade- shop.com Take a trip to the Las Vegas Arts District to rifle through the vintage and contemporary fashions stocked for men and women at the Electric Lemonade Shop, which is the brainchild of sisters Kinsey and Courtney Peters. There is not only a full stock of vintage apparel with a modern flair but up-and-coming designer duds that evoke a modern air with offerings in clothing, accessories, jewelry and shoes. The retail space has concrete floors and white walls punctuated with a splash of lemonade yellow. The sisters, Ohio natives, have been longtime collectors of vintage clothing, going back to their college days, when they sold items on eBay to help pay for school. Then they lived in Brooklyn, N.Y., for a while, where Courtney worked at Odd Twin, a vintage store in the Park Slope district. But their dream was to open their own vintage-clothing store. And now they are expanding. At the end of November, they are holding a grand opening to cel- ebrate another 1,000 square feet of space for vintage clothing on the second floor.
