Muzer in L.A. rides the ethnic fashion vibe with Thai clothing and accessories

YOU DON'T know where to look first. The place is packed with vibrant handmade shoes and bags, skirts, tunics and dresses, rings, earrings and bangles. The colors are bright and endless, an unexpected mix of oranges, fuchsias, greens and fluorescent pinks. Skirts trimmed with bright pink zigzags, shoes with quirky pompom ankle ties, tote bags decorated with squiggly horizontal stitching and dangling silver balls -- these are instant statement pieces that look as if they could have come straight off the spring runways of Dries Van Noten or Comme des Garçons.
