The opening definitely lived up to its immense expectations. Friends and family came in hordes to support this latest endeavor from Westfall, whose last venture in retail, the Comme des Garcons Guerrilla Store +1 213, was a great success. Westfall has taken his artistic approach to his work and has incorporated it seamlessly into this new space. The ample room coupled with the space’s tastefully minimal layout creates many opportunities for installations, which has already been taken advantage of by the store’s proprietor, whose work can currently be seen against one of the east walls. In addition to those pieces from Westfall, his collaborative installation with KZO’s Joel K. was also on display and it was met with much enthusiasm due to the interesting juxtaposition of lush greenery set against the concrete floor. The artistic expression does not end there as the aforementioned jeweler and artist Darcy Miro contributed some of her incredible metal sculptures to the space adding to the gallery-like dimension to the space.

Only good things can come from this exceptional line of womens wear from Unholy Matrimony. A move which will be well appreciated looking at the conceptual approach for the collection which will debut in 2010.
