Not To Be Reproduced

Not To Be Reproduced is a house in the Hollywood Hills turned vintage boutique/art gallery/performance space.  The concept began in the fall of 2007 as a high-end, appointment-only vintage boutique.  Mario Testino was one of the first customers and supporters.  Courtney Love chose the space to sell pieces from her own vintage and couture collection.  And Sally Singer did a write-up of the space for Nov. '07 Vogue, within a month of NTBR's creation.  As word spread about the house, actresses like Kate Bosworth, Melonie Diaz and Sophia Bush became customers.  And stylist Karl Templer began pulling looks from the store for Steven Meisel's Italian Vogue shoots.

IMG_0218.jpgThe concept of the house/store lead to the idea of a carefully curated lifestyle space of fashion, music and art.  NTBR began hosting salon-style events that have so far included a reading by author A.M. Homes, musical performances by Devendra Banhart, Justin Bond and Weimar NY, actress/singer Jena Malone, and folk-artist Mariee Sioux.  As well as a screening by Director M Blash of his film Lying starring Chloe Sevigny.  Art on display and for sale in the house, has included works by Tracey Emin, David LaChapelle, Thomas Struth, and Christoph Draeger.

OMG...Can we just talk about what a fox, NTBR owner Justin Kern is?!  I just can't even handle how hot this guy is.  Seriously...in person he kind of makes me a little nervous (you know I just love when that happens.  As long as I don't have to talk much. ha ha ha ha).  He is just that f-ing fine!  Hurry over and make an appointment.  You have got to get a good close up look at this guy.  Justin Kern is straight up flawless!! I couldn't think of anything I would rather do, than have Justin pick out hot fabulous gowns to try on.  Not only does he have stunna pieces to wear for every occasion...Justin Kern is...is....is seriously towards the top...of the top 4...of the hottest guys in Los Angeles, that I have come across...And I have come across a ton.  So...I def am feeling like...I know this to be a fact right now...
