Teen clothing retailer Brandy Melville is coming to The Promenade at Westlake as early as December, in the space next to Cost Plus World Market. Huffington Post noted last year that Brandy Glanville is "the hottest teen clothing retailer in the U.S., where the garments are designed for just one body type: thin." Business Insider notes the company "sells a wide array of tiny crop tops, high-waisted bottoms and slouchy sweaters" and this Italian retailer has been in the U.S. now for about six years.

I don't know who Brandy Melville is, or if she is related to Herman Melville, author of Moby Dick. But according to the Brandy Melville EU site, "Being an original Italian brand, inspired by L.A. lifestyle, Brandy Melville gained its fame among Hollywood celebrities, including The Kardashians, Ashley Benson, Audrina Patridge, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Miley Cyrus, Karlie Kloss and many others. In a world where fashion can often come across as ordinary and simple, Brandy Melville charmingly sneaks upon its potential ‘Brandy Girl’. Her classic character stands out in the crowd, she is refined and fashionable yet relaxed. Satisfying the customer is a priority within the concept of Brandy Melville. Whenever entering the store, every customer feels at ease and always leaves with a warm feeling."
