“High-end labels at affordable prices” is always an attractive tag line, and that’s exactly what new LA-Style clothing boutique Mode is all about. For only being open for two months, owners Gabriel Montoya and Anthony Padilla are well on their way to creating a strong, community-driven business that prides itself on offering unique styles from a slew of international clothing lines such as Christian Audigier, Ed Hardy, Rebel Spirit, Smet and Faith Connexion, just to name a few.
As long time entrepreneurs, Montoya and Padilla have a vision to live out the American dream of starting their own business and building a strong community through collaboration, networking and ashared creative vision. Working in conjunction with other local companies such as Wyl Williams Photography, Swagger Lyfestyles Hair Studio, and Shades Model Management, Mode has quickly managed to show how apparel is truly a lifestyle, not just a necessity.
Inside the industrial-inspired Mode showroom lives a range of 'vintage-style tattoo wear' that is rightly labeled ‘street-wear couture.’ Besides the special lines and prices, another nice thing about getting out of the franchised shops in the mall and into this locally-owned boutique is the specialized customer care. Need a personal shopping experience off hours? Mode will gladly accommodate you with a private showing. You can be assured one of the two owners will be there to personally assist you.
“We have a passion and desire to succeed and love the challenge of business,” says Gabriel.
When you get in the Mode, expect the unexpected.
