CODE NAME: COMING TO AMERICA

Okay so as of last night I was referred to as a "Hipster"
Not because of my trendy beard or random tank tops ensembles but because of my lack of help to ridiculous sales.
Yes!! I have been labeled a "hipster" because I refuse to furnish my prized sales and thrift stores.
Why?!? Are we not in a recession? I thought I was helping.
Well first off, I resent that comment completely and for seconds I thought I had been helpful. I can't give you everything for life you must search and find.
As much as I wish this would have loved to keep this a secret it is impossible to expect it. I live in NYC aka "the trend graveyard" I know that things can get overhyped and become a "uhh" in a matter of seconds.
Well I'm sure this well not.

For the past months, I have been excited to talk about this collaboration pop-up shop coming to America.
Your favorite shop's favorite shop, Parisian boutique Colette has teamed up with GAP to create a experience like non other(well Rei Kawakubo has something coming soon in the form of a pop up, CANT WAIT!!!!)
Yes your reading this right, Gap has commissioned Colette to create a one month installation in NYC. The Colette x GAP store will be located at GAP's concept store next to GAP's flagship store at 54th and 5th Ave. The store will be open from September 6th through October 5, 2008, releasing new stock every week for the month long opening.
This is going to be the first time that Colette’s sought after items will be available for purchase stateside. If your even slightly familiar with Colette you will understand the severity of this arrival.
I hate saying coolest but Colette stocks some of the coolest products and for this concept store, Sara Lerfel(creative director/buyer for Colette) didn't disappoint. The concept store will feature the usual Colette hard-to-find items as well as several exclusive collaborations. Look for products by and not limited too(pictured): Trench by Andre, bow clutch by Alexis Mabille, denim jacket by Olympia Le Tan, Colette room fragrance, T-shirt by Artus X Peter Arkle, Oakley/Colette sunglasses( I WANT!!), hoodie key ring by Anne-Marie Herckes, Delhomme/Colette scented candle, Asics/Colette sneakers.
Also look for some new collaboration T's from New York faithfuls ESPO, Neckface, Eric Elms and Paris thoroughbreds Andre Genevieve Gauckler(dope!!) & lastly something nice from Converse(via ichat from my Converse peeps, Ola and THANK YOU!!)

HMM..If NYC could only get a Dover Street Market x A.P.C. x ZOZOTOWN pop up shop in the 3.1 Phillip Lim store in Soho. If that store was created, I would cry like a early 90's(possible 80's) Michael Jackson fan..


Happy hunting,
GOOD DAY!!
