Charleston Travels: Hampden Clothing

Absolutely insane Rag and Bone pleated pants
I wandered into Hampden on my Charleston fashion pilgrimage; I was already familiar with them but hadn't ever been in the store (it seems un-possible, I know). It's a clean, modern space, and the first thing I was drawn to when I walked in was the suede zip clutches by A.P.C.-the colors were so rich. There are racks and racks to browse through, and they were in the middle of setting up for their pre-fashion show Chris Benz party, so I had a bit of an impromptu preview of his pieces. They have such a good mix of brands you don't find everywhere-super appealing for those of us that do not want to see ourselves wearing the same thing as three other girls at one party. Rag and Bone has recently been a fave of mine, and they had some fabulous pieces. The yellows obviously struck me, the pleating and drape of the pants was stunning. Some of the other brands I loved seeing in person were Girl by  Band of Outsiders, Opening Ceremony, Rachel Comey, A.P.C., 10 Crosby, and more. It is so nice to see and edgier look developing in Charleston-just a bit more fashion forward than some of the somewhat typical Charlestonian style. (Not that I don't appreciate it!)
