Those of vous with an addiction to vintage Levi's from What Comes Around Goes Around have probably encountered a problem: excessive wear and tear on your favorite blues. Enter Denim Therapy, a new online repair service masterminded by Francine Rabinovich that restores your favorites to perfection in a matter of days. Sign up online, ship your jeans to the office in New York, approve an estimate (approximately $7 per square inch for holes and tears), and prepare for their return in approximately two weeks. Chic's tattered bellbottoms were restored to Fash Week-ready status in what seemed like hours.

"The spirit of California has always been a spirit I work on in my collections," Vanessa Bruno told Chic this summer. "The L.A. style of life corresponds very well. It’s urban but relaxed. There’s the laid-back girl and the healthy thing I like. It was more obvious for me to start there." The wait is over, Angelenos: Bruno celebrated the opening of her first U.S. store on Melrose Avenue last night, along with bold-namers like Minnie Driver and Rosario Dawson (above, with the designer), Leslie Mann, Jessica Stroup, Erin Wasson, and more.
