TIGER ROSE

TIGER ROSE was a japanese/punk influenced shop on melrose ave
 & gower st. circa 1978.
the proprietors were michael saguaro & his wife 
who has since passed away.
i worked as a sales person during 78/79 and also designed clothing for the shop with
 fabrics they imported from japan.
the shop was one of the first punk aesthetic businesses in los angeles.
