<p>The Echo Park Independent Co-Op (abbreviated as E.P.I.C.) is a local fashion boutique located on Sunset Boulevard, in the heart of Echo Park. This shop specializes in locally made/designed clothing and gifts for men and women. Names like Natalia Romano, Laura Kranitz and Brian Lichtenberg might not be household brands, but they've slowly built a cult following in the L.A. fashion world and beyond, refusing to bend to seasonal trends with their work.</p> <p>You'll find clothes here that range from tasteful to gaudy, sexy to comical, but that's part of the fun. The Co-Op also carries a range of shoes and heels for women, and like the clothing, they're all L.A. creations.</p>
