Cecil Arp combined a visit to his favorite city, Los Angeles, with a personal project. He photographed former model Renée during her morning workout in her favorite neighborhood around the famous Melrose Avenue.
The Wasteland store shown here is located at 3828 West Sunset Boulevard in the Silver Lake neighborhood. This building previously housed a popular Army Surplus Store before Wasteland opened its doors there in 2024.
"So, what’s the deal with selling at Wasteland? It’s super easy! Here’s the rundown: drop by any Wasteland store with clothes, shoes, and accessories. Our Melrose, Studio City, San Francisco and Highland Park locations all buy daily seven days a week - yes, even weekends! Since we’re all about quality, please ensure your clothes are clean and in new or almost-new condition.
We buy clothing outright for 30% of our retail price. You get paid on the spot (in cash for a total less than $50 or by check for a total over $50). Unlike consignment, you receive your cash right away." Wasteland, Vintage Fashion.
