Starting tomorrow through February 22nd, one of our favorite Coachella party venues—Ace Hotel & Swim Club—is hosting a retro-tastic pop-up in honor of the mid-century design celebration known as Modernism Week. Palm Desert-based vintage boutique The Fine Art of Design will transform the hotel into a throwback fashion mecca, offering a unique range of pre-loved pieces plucked directly from the closets of Palm Springs's boldest dressers.

If you have any doubt that trekking to Palm Springs for this is worth it, here are a few things to know about The Fine Art of Design: 1) the shop receives about 75% of the inventory from stylish local women who sell, trade or consign their precious fashion archives, 2) it has garnered recognition from cool glossies like Elle, 3) it's pretty much a landmark for fashion insiders across the globe.
