Space 15 Twenty

The skinny on Space 15 Twenty.

Space 15 Twenty is a new retail experiment located in Hollywood, CA. Hosted by Urban Outfitters, the curated space plays home to rotating retail shops, events, art galleries, and dining. Over it's year of existence, the space has seen live performances from bands like Girls, gallery expos from artists like Shepard Fairey, film screenings, flea markets, ridiculous sales, parties, and more.

Current occupants include Hennessey + Ingalls, Umami Burger, Urban Outfitters, Shoes + Shoes + Shoes + Bags, We The Free, Gallery Space, and What Goes Around Comes Around with new pop up store, Gift Shop. Alumni include Alife and Snackbar. Urban Outfitters is centerpiece to the experience with large male and female shopping segments and an installation area with rotating pop up retail previously featuring Samantha Pleet, Steven Alan, and Where The Wild Things Are. Another focus is the Space 15 Twenty courtyard which doubles as a center for art display, performances, indie designer stands, film viewing, and beyond.

With free events, live performances and a rotating line up of shops, Space 15 Twenty oozes tastemaker appeal, organically building a cute little hipster community inside the insanity of Hollywood. Something is happening here.
