Editorial Review for Villains – by Erika Stalder
The Scene
While many of the offbeat clothing labels Villains carries can be found in Anymall USA, this extreme boutique tends to feature the more exclusive items of a brand's collection, like an expansive selection of Paul Frank watches and Diesel's limited edition Denim Gallery jeans. A spacious floor plan and attitude-free staff further distinguishes the Villains shopping experience from the overstuffed Hot Topics and Pacific Sunwears that dot the suburbs.
The Goods
This extreme boutique is San Francisco's "it" store for pricey, alternative-clothing lines. The double-storefront shop boasts wall-to-wall lifestyle brands that cater to skaters (Volcom, Split), goth kids (Emily), all-American surfer girls (Cosmic Girls, Paul Frank), hip-hoppers (Puma, Ben Sherman) and their wannabe counterparts. With newly reissued old-school pieces, like the Penguin polo dad wore in the late '70s, you can also sport a vintage look without sifting through thrift-store racks.

I was very impressed by two staff members (a dark haired male in the back and a tatooed female in the front). They worked as such an effortless team getting people what they needed and giving honest opinions of how merchandise fit and looked. Really great place.
