...quickly. When asked about her prices she quips, "I want to see [the clothes] on the girls, not on hangers." Since the shop window is close to the street, Vaughn gets to take lots of mental style notes. The East Village influence is found in the attention to detail, be it a faux fur collar, a tapestry print or a funky button.
