Covington Weekly met local costume designer Kim Martinez while she was out perusing the great selection of vintage clothing and accessories at Rosemary’s Closet on the Trace. Kim was looking for 60’s and 70’s clothing for the upcoming film, “Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser,” which will shoot in Downtown Covington later in November. Kim stated that she prefers to shop locally for the costumes she uses, adding to the movie industry’s contribution to the local economy. As a former business owner on Magazine Street in New Orleans, Martinez understands the impact of shopping locally. Plus, anyone who has been in Rosemary’s Closet knows that you’ll find Magazine Street quality clothing without the Magazine Street prices.
Vintage isn’t just for the movies, either. Locals also enjoy Rosemary’s Closet for unique outfits and accessories, with owner Elizabeth William’s expert guidance. When they ask, tell them you found it at Rosemary’s Closet! Open Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. or call for appointment, 984-264-5085. 410 N. New Hampshire
