At this point in my life, I don\u2019t care what anyone thinks about me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her friend, creative director Dana Sidell, says self-expression is central to how Weger lives her life. \u201cWendi has the unique ability to bring nostalgia, whimsy and individuality all together into maximalist style,\u201d she says in an email.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, as the film industry slowed down because of COVID-19, Weger took a chance and opened <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/curatorialdept.com\/?srsltid=AfmBOoompKoMoCS-xjiAOgWBmsL4zDxeJYzHFWKU-rcp2fusumuY-AxG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">the Curatorial Dept.<\/a>, a vintage and designer resale shop in Atwater Village. Popular with celebrities including Lake Bell, Nick Thune and politicians Nithya Raman and Laura Friedman, the store is known for Weger\u2019s signature \u201cclothing sculptures,\u201d where she layers mannequins with dozens of pieces of clothing and accessories. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cStyling is my art,\u201d she says. \u201cTo me, clothing is sculpture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>            <img class=\"image\" alt=\"A Gucci skirt and artworks hang in a bedroom.\"   width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1785148166_532_.jpeg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>         <\/p>\n<p>A silk Gucci skirt hangs alongside artworks in Weger\u2019s bedroom. \u201cWhether it\u2019s producing a film, building a boutique, styling a room or a mannequin, it\u2019s about assemblage and synergy,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n<p>To demonstrate, Weger starts layering a mannequin in her bedroom, picking from racks of clothes, handbags, color-coordinated shoes and jewelry nearby. She layers an \u201cI\u2019m With Stupid\u201d T-shirt over a dress shirt and Yohji Yamamoto linen pants, then keeps adding more. \u201cIt needs a ruffle,\u201d she says, caught up in the process, before adding a frilly collar and glittering vintage brooch. <\/p>\n<p>A bright blue first-place ribbon materializes and becomes the perfect accessory. \u201cIt\u2019s not maximalist enough,\u201d she says with a sigh.<\/p>\n<p>Weger says her apartment reflects the way she dresses, with layers of art, vintage clothes and accessories, each with its own story.

Her furniture invites the kind of existential frolic that pairs best with Cuv\u00e9e \u2014 only to remind us, hours later, that true beauty should never be too precious to dance on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Weger says she isn\u2019t a \u201cwoo-woo person,\u201d she believes her apartment and store came from asking the universe for what she wanted. \u201cTell people what you want,\u201d she says. \u201cEspecially in L.A. People support you and help you reach your dreams. I said I wanted this apartment, and because of that, my friend thought of me when she was moving. The same thing happened with my shop. I was in a different industry when I told a shop owner friend I\u2019d always wanted a shop, that I intended to have a shop, and she thought of me when hers became available.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s already thinking about what she wants next: \u201cI\u2019ll be sure to tell everyone I know.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cMore is more and less is a bore.\u201d \u2015 Iris Apfel After spending decades collecting clean-lined Midcentury Modern&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":962252,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5123],"tags":[147096,144537,1582,276,14960,386894,386892,1532,386896,2961,224,5337,386891,3395,9099,386895,4700,5921,386893,386890],"class_list":["post-962251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-accessory","tag-bedroom","tag-ca","tag-california","tag-clothing","tag-clothing-sculpture","tag-designer-handbag","tag-friend","tag-hat-rack","tag-la","tag-los-angeles","tag-losangeles","tag-maximalist-apartment","tag-modern-art","tag-room","tag-ruffle","tag-store","tag-style","tag-sunbeam-vintage","tag-weger"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/962251","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=962251"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/962251\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/962252"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=962251"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=962251"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=962251"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
