While many of us are waiting for the Barneys Warehouse Sale, this weekend’s end-of-season sale being held at the boutiques, Project No. 8 and No. 8b, is well worth the trip. I checked out the goods yesterday and found some fabulous deals. The women’s shop, Project No. 8, carries mostly European designers such as Boudicca from London and Bless and Maison Martin Margiela from Paris as well as New York-based designers. Both boutiques are clearing out current and past season merchandise (offering 40 to 90 percent off retail prices) as they make room for items for fall. The best deals are the Maison Martin Margiela footwear (shoes start at $100 and boots at $125). You’ll also find apparel from Margiela, MM06, Bless, Boudicca, Zero + Maria Cornejo and more at bargain prices. Lots of thanks to the owners, Elizabeth Beer and Brian Janusiak, for allowing me to do a preview. Check out the two video clips – one shows what’s on offer for women and the other for men.
