How I’m Making It: American Two Shot

American Two Shot is not your typical hipper-than-thou SoHo boutique. It’s an eclectic space for eclectic tastes. You might find an old Joan Didion hardback or a pencil case that looks like a hotdog nestled in with the racks of clothes by labels like Porter Grey, Timo Weiland, Nomia, The Lake & Stars, and Jonathan Simkhai. American Two Shot (135 Grand Street) carries jewelry and accessories, men’s and women’s wear, and a selection of vintage. The store also stocked those now-notorious hats that cheekily spoofed Cartier’s name.

On the eve of American Two Shot’s first anniversary, Fashionista sat down with Olivia Wolfe and Stephanie Krasnoff, both 28, to talk about their vision for the store, how working together has changed their friendship, and how they’re making it.

Demi Moore, Martha Stewart and the Brant Brothers Get Sandy at Chanel’s Art Basel Bash

The tented setting at last night’s Chanel Art Basel party gave the whole evening a wedding vibe (albeit a very fashionable one)–as did the evening’s soundtrack, which tended towards songs like “Son of a Preacher Man,” “Satisfaction,” and “Shout,” and packed the dance floor. Adriana Lima was there, looking as gorgeous as if she’d just stepped off the Victoria’s Secret runway. So was Naomi Campbell, and Martha Stewart, and Demi Moore–who looked like she was having a really good time getting cozy with Lenny Kravitz and grooving in her seat in the VIP section. At some point she even found a cat to cuddle, which would obviously enhance anyone’s night.
