Customer Service

July 13, 2010

A couple of days ago, Helena Christensen’s mom (who looks a lot like her) helped me try on a pair of Alaia hot shorts in her vintage store. Needless to say, they didn’t fit me (they used to belong to Helena). But I was drawn to the store itself because I knew it was full [...]
