From vintage silks to engraved horn buttons, it’s all in the little details for Boston-based FRENCH + ITALIAN. Good craftsmanship is something that's been ingrained in owner Aimee Lombardi since she was a kid — her Italian grandparents invented knitting machines and her mother never went without a copy of Vogue. The women’s wear boutique keeps all that in mind with a selection of European labels and emerging designers so gorgeous it’ll make your heart stop.

Combining a love for Japanese fashion with her own Venezuelan roots, Los Angeles-based designer Fabiana Pigna brings a modern sensitivity to her sculptural silhouettes. Her label of blouses, shirt dresses, and trousers trace clean lines in a casual, minimalist tone. All pieces are designed and produced in Los Angeles.
