Major news for Culver City: our friends at real estate company Runyon Group exclusively reveal to us that cult-favorite French fashion house Carven is headed to the neighborhood's new Platform shopping and dining complex at Hayden Tract. This will be the label's very first West Coast location. The project is currently under construction and prepping for a late spring 2015 grand opening.

Known for crafting effortlessly cool looks with a romantic flair, Carven was founded in Paris in the 1940s. Designer Guillaume Henry breathed new life into the brand when he took over in 2009 and has since made fans out of global stylesetters like Kate Bosworth, Alexa Chung and Diane Kruger.
