The Albright Fashion Library is an essential stop for the fashion elite. Everyday, stylists, editors, designers and private clients visit the 7,300-square-foot showroom to make use of a comprehensive yet impeccably edited collection of some 60,000 items. Offering an archive of classic pieces—from Saint Laurent suits to Versace gowns, from Chanel bags to Manolo Blahnik pumps—as well as contemporary looks by some of the most exciting young designers working today, the library’s encyclopedic holdings dazzle and inspire.
IRENE ALBRIGHT, OWNER & EDITOR IN CHIEF
Irene worked for years as stylist and consultant to some of the fashion world's most prominent magazines and photographers. Finding that other showrooms in the city couldn't satisfy her creative imagination, she opened her own, in 1990. Using her superb eye and extensive connections in the industry, Albright went on to amass an unrivaled collection of high fashion both archival, cutting-edge, and even prospective: the Albright Fashion Library has the upcoming season’s looks in stock before department stores do. After over ten years in New York, Albright Fashion Library expanded to the west coast, opening up a successful award season pop-up which then transformed into a permanent location in the desirable Trousdale Estates.
