Profile

A Détacher owner Mona Kowalska likens herself to more of a curator than a designer or store manager—not surprising, since her teacup-sized space is more of a funky fashion gallery than the cold couture boutique you might expect. Kowalska’s collection appeases grown-up fashion hounds and readers of Vogue or W. Kowalska doesn’t apologize for the luxury and architecture her prim clothes exude, but while her elegant designs snub schlepped-in comfort, she fully embraces the eclectic with the mod furnishings dotted throughout her store. At the back of the shop, a mirror tile wall hangs behind a glass façade etched with distressed scribbles. — Molly Noonan

A Detacher is one of my favorite local boutique. I love Mona's feminine style which is present throughout all of her collections. When I go for the sales, I'm always finding something, just like my newly purchased sand color leather ankle boots, which I've paid 50% of the original price! They're so comfortable just as smooth as butter! Anett Gabriel Stylist

Without a doubt, they have the most creative, orginal designs around. But be careful not to take off your vest too fast. I only wore my vest for 1/2 hour when it got caught in a door handle and riped a part. Right in the middle, torn like paper. You have to be super-duper careful with their fabrics. I will still buy their stuff but I'll dang make sure no one touches me. Definitely don't go anywere near door handles.
