Open May 14
Antidote is what happens when three fashion people get together and open up shop. Founded by Lauren Amos, Eugene Rabkin, and Karlo Steel, the retail space injects a bit of edge into the Georgia city. You’ll notice it before you even step inside the brand new store: From the outside, clean lines and an industrial finish tell you Antidote means avant-garde business. Inside, you’ll find Comme des Garçons, Craig Green, Guidi, Hyke, Jil Sander, Junya Watanabe, Mugler, Noir by Kei Ninomiya, Paco Rabanne, Undercover, and Y/Project—some of which aren’t sold elsewhere in the U.S., much less in Atlanta. To outfit your shopping trip, we like a clingy graphic dress from Marine Serre, a bike chain-size necklace from Paco Rabbane, and accessories from Jil Sander—an Art Deco-esque bag and barely there black leather sandals.
