Chanel, Valentino, Mugler...and Nick, Jen and Lawrence????
Last week, I shot my "What's The Fashion?" segment for TV Guide Network's "The Fashion Team" weekly TV Show at one of the most incredible Vintage Couture Boutiques in all of LA: Sielian's Vintage Apparel. Sielian's Boutique is truly a GEM of a store! Located on Melrose Avenue, near Doheny, it is THE Go-To place for all the top stylists in Hollywood--from Rachel Zoe to my lovely--and very stylist TV Guide Fashion Team "girlfriend", Jen Rade.
Sielian's Vintage DIVA is Sielian Lie herself! And here's the best part: She was one of my STUDENTS many years ago at the Fashion Institute of Design &Merchandising/FIDM! Yes, I taught her! Sielian had a passion for Vintage Couture and the short story is:
She began selling what she had at the famous Fairfax High School Melrose Trading Post and A-List Celebs like Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen began buying...and telling her that she should own a shop. After some time, her and her wonderful business partner husband eventually did, at this fabulous West Hollywood/Beverly Hills-adjacent location and well, the rest is LA Vintage Couture/Red Carpet Stylist History!
Her store is Vintage Couture Heaven! Sielian has an amazing editing eye and shops from Paris to Pasadena--scouring the best in Vintage Fashion. While I was there , preparing to film my segment, I saw (amongst other things) a Jean-Louis Scherrer original, as well as...
The shop is located on 9013 Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood and it is A MUST for any lover of Vintage Couture! Thank you Sielian--and your wonderful husband--for having us in your FABULOUS Boutique! And thank you for enrolling in my class years ago at FIDM and being a straight-A student!
