 Ms. Consolo, "DDC Lab chose this location because they will be right next door to Marc Jacobs and Vivienne Westwood--designers that, just like them, define cutting edge. DDC's unique clothing has made it one of the hottest, most sought after labels around, ever since design icons and owners Roberto Crivello and Savania Davies-Keiller founded the company in 1992. The brand is already well established in Europe and is rapidly gaining visibility and momentum here in the states, thanks to its tailored service, innovative use of fabric and trendsetting designs."

In describing the neighborhood, Mr. Aquino says, "Melrose Avenue was once known as a designer and decorator's area with plenty of arts and antiques, but when Marc Jacobs came to Melrose, the area was completely transformed. Melrose is now California's version of Bleecker Street, with the trendiest designers lining the corridor from end to end. The area hasn't been this exciting since 'Melrose Place' was on the air?"
