Newer names are expanding at retail as others experiment with temporary formats.
Here’s a look at this weekend’s store openings in Los Angeles and Orange counties.
Common Market at Row DTLA
Contemporary basics label Mod Ref will open its Common Market boutique at the Row DTLA Aug. 2.
The maker of reasonably priced men’s and women’s essentials will be located between Omamimini and General Store in Building M2 of the former American Apparel headquarters.
Founder Andrew Kim started Mod Ref in 2012 as a purveyor of “elevated essentials” that are positioned between “timeless” pieces and more contemporary, directional looks.
That includes the $74 Tyler cardigan with flared sleeves and welt pockets and $64 V-neck, capped sleeve Pamela top for women. On the men’s side, the assortment includes slacks under $100 and an assortment of jackets ranging from chore coat styles to cropped, collared silhouettes all under $200.
The Row DTLA location joins Mod Ref’s other stores on Broome Street in SoHo and the LAB Anti-Mall in Costa Mesa.
The downtown store will be closed on Mondays, open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the weekends.

Costa Mesa streetwear brand Basketcase will open its Costa Mesa studio to fans of the line for a pop-up shop on Saturday.
The brand will be selling new designs, along with restocks of past drops. On-site screenprinting, airbrushing and tattoos will also be available.
Moving forward, Basketcase will have the studio open to the public on weekends.
The pop-up is located at 702 Randolph Ave., unit A and runs on Saturday from 12 to 6 p.m.
