Aero & Co Editorial Review – by Kim Cooper

Specializing in fashion and gift trends that are just beginning to crest, Alisa Loftin's funky, pink-striped double storefront is packed with hipster treats. Rock and roll inspired graphic tees by T&xt look cool paired with Chrishabana‘s ’80s punk Lycra leopard print leggings. Sandals by Huyl, Crate jeans, Figmint slim-line 60s-style trousers and deconstructed Elmer Ave suitcoats are featured. A veritable zoo of Fauna‘s animal-shaped silkscreen pillows perch on vintage chairs in the back.

Most Supportive of Local Labels – AERO & Co.

Alisa Loftin is known all over town for her extraordinary eye and continual support of L.A. labels (she was one of the first to stock Grey Ant and Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent). We never tire of visiting her airy boutique, as we know we’ll be generously rewarded with an inspiring lineup. Our current favorite in the shop is Jasmin Shokrian, known for her sensuous silhouettes and inventive tailoring (raw hems, deconstructed cuts).

Best Design Boutique – AERO & Co.

Four boutiques in particular stand out for followers of L.A. design. Each features smartly edited collections and knowledgeable staff.
AERO carries mostly L.A. designers – Brian Lichtenberg‘s pop chic is the latest find – mixing in, say, the whimsical deconstruction of Japan’s Ballroom.

Best Boutique with Local Designers

About the only thing not for sale at Aero & Co. in Los Feliz is the old-fashioned yellow-bulb sign out front. You can have the art on the walls, the furniture-and, on course, the clothes, from L.A. couturiers like St. Vincent, Magda Berliner and Grey Ant. Owners Cynthia Vincent and Alisa Loftin even invite the designers to dress the windows. If you’re not in the mood for a new wardrobe, you can always get a flipbook or Japanese gummy candy. “I’m just a kid,” Vincent admits as she hands a customer a free toy, as promised, with her purchase.
