I ♥ THIS WINDOW

BROADWAY between Broome and Grand.

I ♥ this window!!!!
A very witty window display at J. Crew Men's Shop. Very eye-popping and unexpected delivery. Well-done!

OMG. I have been loving Men's clothing stores more than Women's.... They are cooler and simpler and easier to consume. Menswear is more about basic than trends, which I really appreciate. All you need is the basics with the finest and the best quality you can find, and you will never go wrong with your style for another 100 years! (A-MAZING!) I always go into Men's clothing store and wish I could wear those simple knitted sweaters, oxford bottom-down shirt and all sorts of trousers from khaki, to silky pin-stripe dress pants. And the TIES! They come in SO MANY varieties of colors and patterns. I just LOVE looking at these fabrics. Oh, only if I were a boy, I could rock them all....

SAD GUCCI

CROSBY STREET between Spring and Broome.

A pop-up store for GUCCI's footwear collections including the Gucci Ronson sneaker, a collaboration with celebrity DJ Mark Ronson.

My observation?

Luxury + scary looking security X2 + empty store = not-so-welcoming environment.

Thus, no-one-in-the-store phenomenon.

HOW NILI LOTAN DOES IT

DUANE STREET between Hudson and Greenwich.

NILI LOTAN Design Studio has the TriBeCa-loft cool. I love its minimal interior. Brick wall is painted in white (roughly, of course!). Employee-Only office space is covered just by white curtain. Dressing room is quickly hand-made with a long white cloth and a metal wire. Details are roughly done, but it works just fine. This amazing industrial loft-chic space is just as effortless as the clothing it carries. We, customers, can't help stopping by this place because we all want to learn how NILI LOTAN achieve its effortless style.
