REAL, what counts

Bloomingdales at Soho.

I was passing by its back door on Crosby between Broome and Spring and saw 3 fashion-executive people; the shiny sunglasses, the polished satchel, and the crisp attire. I wondered how much they know the real retail front.

Retail Front...
It is where the REAL money gets deposited to a business.
It is where the REAL people, customers and clerks, deal and exchange, warmth and coldness, rudeness and kindness, laughter and opinions... and most importantly the REAL money and the REAL products.

The three fashion excs can exist in this world, because this world-just like the retail world-is REAL.

Never, EVER, forget that, you three fashionexcs.


Yes, REAL is what counts, you know?

THE STORE

I was at Le Labo.

Consuming its sexy biz concept. From the perfume bottles, the candles in the tin cans, the labo bar, the notebooks on the study-desk, the beakers and the fedex-labeled packages that were stacked effortlessly on the ground. And, the color, the lights, the smell and the moment of the space...

Every element was going towards the same (and the right) direction.

Every element just made CLEAR sense to me.


The moment, I felt....


And, that was it.


I was just in LOVE with the store.






So here I am.
Have a little thing to say about what I feel about stores I step in everyday.




From...




The streets in


New York City.





That's all.
