It takes a few seconds for your eyes to gobble up the modern funhouse decor of new Queen West clothing boutique Jacflash before they focus on the expertly outfitted clothing racks it frames. Mirrored wall cutouts and a silver tin ceiling hung with designer lampshades are the backdrop for father-daughter team Geoffrey and Jaclyn Genovese ‘s men’s and women’s looks.

Hipster meets Holt’s in high-end street-styled lines like Operations , Rare Rag Recycle and Meltin’ Pot . For guys, there’s Endovanera tailcoat toppers and knits, blazers and bombers by Italian line Transit . On the ladies’ side, a Crimes & Misdemeanors shift is embellished with mod silver buttons, and Fremont sweaters are cut long with slim shawl collars. A gold-sequined, starlet-ready shift by Alice + Olivia is the shop’s runaway clothing hit of the season.

Accessories include Bed Stu distressed leather boots and Modern Vintage patent black pumps and booties.
