"Garment isn’t so much a shop as a gallery dedicated to fashion throughout the decades. Racks, which are far from jammed—every item gets breathing room—is almost like an education in sartorial history, with clothes from the 1930s, the 1970s, and the aughts. Owner Masha Poloskova and her husband custom designed the whole shop; from the racks to the wood accent wall, everything you see is handmade. Keep your eye out for designer vintage like YSL, Gucci, and Chanel, along with handmade jewelry from indie designers, including local duo Anvil+Aura and L.A. designer Hannah Keefe. In some cases, buying vintage will save you money—that's the case here. Take some of the silk blouses or cashmere sweaters; here they're about $100, but retail they would have been much more expensive." - Stirling Kelso
