In the huge Fashion family, you have the Fashion, bohemian designer. Victor Wilde lived for over ten years in DTLA, he never had a car and moved only with his bike. He works and lives in its large studio on the 15 floors of its building from the early era of Downtown. Upon in the elevator, I’m immediately transported to a timeless universe between Metropolis and Blade Runner film and where Victor opens the door we discover its planet. He Remembers his first time in Downtown LA when he performed onstage at the Palace Theater on his third day in LA. It was a Halloween cabaret show, and his performance art group did a few numbers. He was Frankenstein. He immediately likes the neighborhood as it reminds him of home(NYC), there is an active artistic community here as well. He also does not need a car, so he does not own one. Sunset is his favorite time, probably due to the change of colors through the buildings. His favorite street is Main Street where he lives. He also likes his hidden pleasure, LAX-C a giant secret Thai grocer H
