Barry has long run a studio in downtown Los Angeles’ Fashion District. On March 16, Barry opened SetSpace. It’s a permanent showroom/styling space where people can browse styles for rentals, custom looks, and a Maggie Barry-only style; clothes bearing LED lights.

The appointment-only space is located at 112 West Ninth St., across the street from the California Market Center showroom building. It is housed in the Broadway Palace Apartments complex. Broadway Palace also is the address for another fashion showroom; Kathy Walker Showroom.

Barry celebrated the opening with a fashion presentation where she teamed up with milliner Drewbird and designer Mista Rich. She hopes to produce monthly events at SetSpace for emerging designers and models. Star deejay Heather Bright spun tunes at the inaugural party. Barry said that she will spin at future parties.
