Have you ever been to a store where you can get your hair cut, find a new outfit and snag some gorgeous furniture for your pad–all at the same time? No? Well then you need to visit Matthew Izzo on Walnut Street. He opened his first shop in Philadelphia in 2002, and business has been booming ever since. Izzo, a pedigreed Manhattan interior designer, opened his business here because “Philly is fresh. I fell in love with the architecture and newness of it. I was tired of being one of a bunch. Here, I could make a name for myself.”

Izzo’s accomplished that task, with a furniture and home accessories shop, a thriving design business, a hip clothing boutique and a hair salon, along with his website, www.matthewizzo.com.

An upholstery line is next to launch. “I dress people, I show people how to live, and then they can get their hair done.” How would he describe his style? “My look is urban, but with a European flare.”
