You'll find plenty of deals, especially on accessories, at the Alexander McQueen sample sale which started Tuesday. I found a fairly calm scene at Chelsea's Metropolitan Pavilion when I stopped in around 9:30am. Surprisingly, there was no line. Although, at first, I did think that the extremely long wait for the Sex & the City casting call next door was th[...]
The Jill Stuart boutique in SoHo was very subdued when I stopped in late Thursday to check out the two-day sale there. Although a number of racks had 40% off signs, one of the sales people came over to inform me that sale items were actually all 60% off. Shoes are at 40% off. If you've been searching for a special dress or just something lovely to wear, you'll[...]

He also starred opposite Kate [...]
If you like vintage clothing - especially designer vintage, you should check out the V is for Vintage pop-up shop in Soho. I stopped by there yesterday to survey the goods. I was not disappointed. A number of vendors - some with stores in the City - set up shop in this basement space on Green Street just for three days. I found Gucci, Chanel, Dior, YSL, Ver[...]
