Kleah and Josh Michnik dreamed up the idea to open a boutique in their hometown of Vancouver while living on the beach in sunny Los Angeles. They called it Charlie & Lee and today Kleah handpicks and carefully curates the shop with an impressive selection of local and independent designers. With a recent addition to the family — their son Charlie, naturally! — we caught up with the couple to quiz them on how they met, running a business together and they shared their first family road trip down the PCH.
“Effortless elegance is my eternal goal for my creation,” says Black Crane co-founder Momoko Suzuki. We’re filing this contemporary fashion line under ‘total success’ as we can’t get enough of their sought-after collections. The artful silhouettes on easy basics are a result of combining the Japanese designer’s background in art and architecture with her partner Alexander Yamaguchi’s silkscreen printing and patterning expertise.
