Blackburn + Sweetzer Has Moved

Circa 1999, Aero & Co founders Alisa Loftin and Cynthia Vincent outside the original location in Los Feliz

Just wanted to say congrats to Aero & Co owner Alisa Loftin, whose boutique at 8403 West 3rd Street celebrated ten years yesterday! In celebration, she’s started a blog, which, if you remember the original Aero & Co. boutique in Los Feliz, will make you feel sweetly nostalgic.

I snagged the image above from an anniversary post, which also shows a V Mag spread from 2001 shot at the boutique, featuring LA designers Alicia Lawhon, Rami Kashou, Michelle Mason, Grant Krajecki, Ina Celaya, Jared Gold, Magda Berliner, and Kime Buzzelli. It definitely shuttles me back in time—I remember viewing Rami’s first collection at Aero & Co.! Loftin has championed up-and-coming designers from the start and continues on with the same dedication to designers and labels she believes in. Cheers to that!

And do check out the blog, which will make you want to hustle to the boutique with LAEKEN studded denim jackets, f*cking awesome 1980’s Jean Andre Italy clip-on earrings, and much, much more.
