For the past decade, Karen Reischieck has given Australian designers like Josh Goot and Tina Kalivas their first exposure in her tiny stained-glass-windowed shop. She continues to take chances on offbeat brands, such as Romance Was Born (beloved for its bizarre appliquéd sweatshirts) and Lucy Folk (a jeweler who turns out gold pretzel-charm necklaces).
