An el train may screech by overhead and meatpacking businesses may line the street, but step inside Koros and your world instantly transforms. An enormous crystal chandelier anchors an open space of high ceilings and exposed brick walls. Worldly artifacts and antique objects create an air of sophisticated mystery—an old-fashioned altar from London, for instance, serves as the sales counter. Koros prides itself on rotating selections by emerging designers, but the boutique also stocks some perennial favorites. Justice Bodan’s Italian leather belts feature hand-cast bronze buckles, while chunky-yet-classic jewelry by Greek designer Aris Geldis mixes vintage materials with varied metals. Up-to-the-moment apparel by Hoss Intropia caters to attention-loving fashionistas, and J4’s boldly colored stitching adds a touch of glamour to its deep-dark jeans. Stunning stilettos define shoe collections by Camilla Skovgaard, and SAIC graduate Gary Graham’s high-profile collections offer luxury clothing with a slightly rough-hewn, quirky edge.
