212 Boutique

Scott Walhovd was a full-time model, booking shoots with D&G, Moschino, Ralph Lauren, and Gianfranco Ferre when he met Anthony Castro, a graduate of Parsons The New School for Design, in New York. Walhovd wanted a career with more longevity; Castro dreamed of founding his own label. So they moved here (Walhovd's hometown) and founded 212, a women's clothing line and attendant retail space. 212 is known for clean, uncluttered lines--a European sensibility with a New York edge. Next up? A men's line launching spring 2010.
