Say it is so! Yesterday, one of our favorite milliners Gladys Tamez Insta'd an array of stunning hats that were on their way to "Santa Monica for the new store opening on December 4th."

Lest you forget, the Fred Segal tenant said sayonara to its iconic SaMo location back in May due to an order to vacate the 500 Broadway building to make way for property redevelopment. Although Ron Robinson is able to thoroughly satisfy loyal fans through its beloved Melrose mainstay, we 100% back their westside revival—that is, if it's true.
