STYLE...
FOR THOSE WHO WON'T ACCEPT THE NORM. |
 |
The
tail fins of a ’64 vintage Cadillac peer from the roof as you walk into
DEAN-KINGSTON. Shirts swish by on an industrial laundry conveyor inside
the entrance. Massive crystal chandeliers droop from high ceilings. One
wall boasts a mural-size photo of the store’s patron saints: intrepid
Della Dean and Fanny Lou Kingston, who opened DEAN-KINGSTON in Arizona
in 1949 then built a small dynasty of loyal customers.
The
entrepreneurial spirit of the founders thrives in this new boutique on
Foch Street. The attitude hearkens back to the time of so-smooth
Sinatra, rebel James Dean and good cigars. But the verve is pure 21st
century, with racks brimming with contemporary, hip attire for both men
and women scoured from the lines of up-and-coming or obscure designers
like Pure Boheimian, Walter and Jon Sonen! Vintage clothing and classy,
unique jewelry mix with life-style finds like cigar humidors, hammocks
and fanciful Martiniwear. |

And
it’s all housed in a lively, 4,000-square-foot space filled with a
sophisticated, playful attitude. The pool table is racked and ready for
use and a vintage video flashes on one wall. Customers are offered a
glass of wine or water while searching for that special look. It’s just
the sort of place to find the hip, sophisticated merchandise certain to
make a statement.
If you won’t accept the norm in your appearance, then stop by
and meet co-owners Summer Dean, great niece of founder Della,
and Stacie Poyner. Their creative energy and love of a great
find are sure to make this trip worth your time. |
