Pixie Market
Specializing in designers who generally have no more than a MySpace page, Magda Pietrobelli and Gaelle Drevet's second location (the first is in New York's Lower East Side) offers a delightfully indie-pop sensibility. The blazingly white spot—replete with wall decals that say smile and neon orange footstools—is packed with punky, offbeat picks: jumpers made from geometric-print fabrics, minidresses splashed with pastel zebra stripes, and hip but comfortable shoes from the house line, Maud.

Presse
Zoe Schaeffer and Renee Klein, both former fashion editors, have built what is easily one of the best-looking boutiques in the city. Lucite racks are set into antique-style wardrobes; framed vintage photographs are sprinkled about; and a massive boudoir-style couch, swathed in deep peach velvet, is anchored in the center of the room. The lines they stock are just as romantic and stunning: Bruce, Doo Ri, and Vena Cava.

Satine
Jeannie Lee is a bit of a soothsayer when it comes to what people will be wanting to wear, which is why Satine, with the feel of a '70s dollhouse, is fresh and spot-on. Lee is also masterful at mixing labels and prices: There are high-high-end gowns from Thakoon, but they're arranged next to crazily patterned Tsumori Chisato tops and L.A.-based upstart Kelly Bergin's bow-fronted skirts.

Scout
It's been around for more than five years, but this stalwart is as unwaveringly progressive as it was when it first opened. Owner Joseph Grana fills the front with tie-dyed lambskin totes and baggy tunics by the house line, along with blouses printed with psychedelic horses from Swash. A tiny vaulted library-like room in the back, complete with a rolling ladder, holds pristine vintage sweaters and tops.

Sigerson Morrison
The full range of modish patent flats, woven heels, and artfully worked sandals is stocked in this sleek Third Street space. There's also a lushly appointed offshoot in the Malibu Country Mart, along with an eensy outpost of the more affordable diffusion line, Belle by Sigerson Morrison, on Brighton Way.

Trina Turk
Thoroughly entrenched in a Palm Springs sensibility (she just opened her first home goods store there), Trina Turk always makes oranges, yellows, and oversize floral prints. Her polished party dresses, tunics, and blouses are all displayed in her lattice-wall-accented space.

The Way we Wore
These days, Doris Raymond dresses lots
of stars in exquisite antique gowns for big, red-carpet events—a far cry
from the '70s, when she was selling encyclopedias door-to-door across
the Pacific Northwest. Back then, vintage was just known as used clothing, so she capitalized on her travels to snap up garments in
the small towns on her route. Now
she has a two-story empire, where
a lifetime of fashion history from
all eras and from all the marquee names is for sale.
