LOS ANGELES–BCBGeneration, the sister brand to BCBG aimed at a younger, hipper audience, celebrated the grand opening of its first LA boutique at the Century City mall on Sunday afternoon.

The brightly lit store reflects the energetic, savvy vibe of the brand, something that creative director, Joyce Azria says was their main goal in designing the free-standing boutiques. “Our vision for the store was to design something really uplifting and bright. It’s a feel good brand at the end of the day, so we wanted something that illuminates people, so there’s a lot of light, and a lot of white.”

The latest collection includes great nighttime options (we spied a ton of sequins), neutral basics like slouchy sweaters, and in keeping with the BCBG spirit, killer cocktail dresses and stand-out accessories. In particular, we thought the word bracelets featuring popular ’90s phrases like “dude,” “psych” and “righteous” were pretty awesome.

Proving to be the true embodiment of the brand, Azria was on hand all afternoon greeting fans and doling out styling advice. We picked her brain for the top five tips she thinks every girl should know right now:

As a fashion week newbie, I was thrilled to be attending this runway show, despite the fact that I haven’t liked these clothes since 1994. The pre-show prancing and preening by attendees was great, and I met a fashion grande dame decked out in black and fuchsia with a huge hat. When I complimented her [...]

There’s yet another group of pseudo-celebs that you’ve got to compete with for fashion week tickets. Jersey Shore cast members have been requesting seats for next week’s shows, according to Page Six. In general, we kind of enjoy those Jersey Shore crazies. Although we’d see rather them on TV, not at work. We’re making unofficial [...]

I was walking through Saks yesterday, overwhelmed by the perfection of Helmut Lang’s pre-fall collection, when I saw the BCBG skirt at left. It was hot pink in the store, so it jumped out against the greys and blacks, and perfectly banded. The piece was tiny and stretchy with a zipper up the back just [...]

A reader just sent us an email with the subject line: “Copyright Copycat F21 at it again.” Boy, was she right. Usually, in an Adventures in Copyright item, we’ll list one or two things that the copiers did to make it a little less obvious that they’re taking someone else’s design, but, well…if there’s some [...]
