Chanel
While the fabled Beverly Hills outpost of Chanel carries its complete collection of clothing, the Robertson offshoot, which opened in 2008, is based on an entirely different premise. Espousing a gallery-like approach, the store's interior shifts frequently to match a constantly rotating, carefully curated array of goods, with an emphasis on handbags, jewelry, and shoes. From Los Angeles' West Hollywood neighborhood store listings, updated September 2008.

Costume National
Unconventional but fuss-free menswear-based shapes are Costume National mainstays, and they're all housed in this slick, uncluttered shop. We particularly love the ankle booties and slouchy clutches that are as chic as they are low-key. From Los Angeles' West Hollywood neighborhood store listings, updated September 2008.

Creatures of Comfort
The rolling racks are painted neon yellow, LD Tuttle and Repetto shoes arch across the floor in rainbow formation, and a looming shelving unit—made from cardboard boxes held together with binder clips—houses satchels and totes at this three-year-old retailer. The clothing here is just as artily undone: Voluminous tunics from Isabel Marant hang next to Bernhard Wilhelm tuxedo pants. For those who appreciate a gallery-girl aesthetic, this is a bit of a mother ship. From Los Angeles' West Hollywood neighborhood store listings, updated September 2008.

Diane von Furstenberg
Diane von Furstenberg may have one of the most recognizable names in fashion, but there are only four DVF shops in the U.S. The Los Angeles outpost is all-white and sleek, which creates a canvas-like background for her winningly bright colors and patterns, all splashed across wrap dresses and billowy tops.

Foley + Corinna
Dana Foley and Anna Corinna Sellinger met at a New York City flea market, where Foley was selling her handmade skirts and Corinna was dealing in vintage. More than 10 years later, they have two headily glamorous stores—the first is in Manhattan—to show for their winning collaboration. Corinna Sellinger still sources all the antique Mexican tops, while Foley turns out draped blouses and sexy dresses.

Fred Segal
A celebrity-trafficked café and an in-store outpost of Ron Herman that's packed with equal doses of evening gowns and denim make this vine-covered institution feel quintessentially L.A. From Los Angeles' West Hollywood neighborhood store listings, updated September 2008.

HLNR
Everything about the newly opened HLNR is futuristic, from the Transformer-style robots in the windows to its green execution (the building is solar-powered and constructed from renewable materials, and many of the pieces are eco-friendly). The enterprise also gets high marks for its airily stocked shelves dotted with one-of-a-kind, avant-garde items like Preen smocked blouses and Sydney Los Angeles graphic sweaters.

Jenni Kayne
Only a year old, this sustainably built emporium, which is earthy in the most fabulous sense—slatted bamboo ceilings, colossal skylights, a cozy seating area—houses the entire Jenni Kayne collection of cashmere sweaters and patchwork evening gowns, along with an exquisitely curated selection of gifts. Swans Island throws, Raymond Pettibon coffee-table books, and rose-cut diamond earrings from Lena Wald are all here. From Los Angeles' West Hollywood neighborhood store listings, updated September 2008.
