In news that's both depressing and exciting, there's been a lot of turnover on Melrose lately. Currently, there's a "for lease" sign in the A&G Rock 'n' Roll Couture window -- we talked to the agent that's representing the listing, and she tells us the store is still open until a suitable replacement is found. And by 'suitable replacement', we mean someone who can spend $13,000 a month on the rent.

In brighter news! Signs of life in the Vivienne Westwood store. Despite the fact that the store still looks a wreck with all the janky scaffolding enveloping it, the upstairs window shave actual garments hanging in the them. Bright, beautiful garments! Can't wait!
