Designer Romulus Von Stezelberger sells leather wear at his South Paradiso Organic Haberdashery on Sunset Boulevard. When his rock ‘n’ roll fantasy didn’t work out, I said, I can make the great gods clothing!
From left, two Fool’s Jackets (velvet with hand-painted scenes), a Cape Buffalo stuffed head, This Way To My Ice Palace jacket (mutton with white leather appliques) and a Chistoff Takes A Trip jacket (velvet).
The sign outside evokes the psychedlic late 1960s feel of San Francisco. Indeed, South Paradiso is trying to revive the style of the East West Musical Instruments Co., a famed San Francescio rock wear store.
