I have to agree with many of the rave reviews about Roger Vivier’s sale being held at Soiffer Haskin in Midtown. Inside is an amazing assortment of footwear for all seasons and occasions. Not only will you find the iconic pilgrim pumps (modern versions of the original shoe that Catherine Deneuve wore in the film “Belle de Jour“), you’ll also find strappy heels, sandals, ballet flats, wedges and boots in all sorts of fabrications and colors. It’s like a candy store in there. You’ll find it hard to decide what to take home. So be prepared to dish out some serious dosh!
A brisk and busy start to the Helmut Lang + Theyskens’ Theory fall sample sale today… the 2nd floor of the brand’s showroom in the Flatiron is filled with plenty of merchandise, hung neatly by style on racks. You’ll find the price lists tacked on the walls as well as sale signs for key garments placed on racks (very organized!).
The J.Crew sample sale in the Flatiron District kicked off this morning… Here’s a photo of the line a few minutes before they opened the doors and it snaked around the block down 28th Street. I managed to get in to do a review before the shoppers were let inside. Working [...]
Here’s what the line looked like this evening outside the Metropolitan Pavilion on 18th St… The YSL continues to draw massive crowds on the first day of the sample sale. The line went around the block north to 19th Street. They open the doors in the morning at 8am… [...]

As we mentioned in an earlier post, the Jil Sander sample sale kicked off yesterday morning… Discounts are 80-percent off for handbags and wallets; RTW (spring 2011 collection and the label’s casual luxe line, Navy) clothing and footwear are 85-percent off. Check out the video which we shot Tuesday morning.
As I mentioned earlier, I managed to shoot some video of the merchandise at the Fred Perry sample sale. Jon Kalupa who is President of the Avalon Group gave me a walk-through of the showroom this morning… and as you’ll see, there’s lots of stuff for both men, women and kids.
An update on the Hugo Boss sample sale which ends tomorrow… Artsy Ana stopped in this morning to check out the scene and see if they’ve slashed prices. Ana tells us:
It was a serene scene on the second to last day of the Hugo Boss sale. Menswear continues to dominate with sparse but quality items available. Women’s is limited to two racks–one of knit tops and the other of pants and dresses. Prices haven’t been reduced. There were 5-10 other shoppers this morning.
Surprising that they’re not offering further discounts since there appears to be so much stuff left… maybe tomorrow?
As other blogs such as Racked mentioned earlier this week, the Hugo Boss sample sale has more to offer gents… I finally got a chance to check out the sale and I must agree that the selection for women is fairly limited. The picture above says it all… While there are pieces on offer, I didn’t think it was worth the trip to the far west side of Chelsea. I found a couple of racks of women’s stuff, including a table with a few jeans. And of course, the two pairs of strappy heels above (size 40) tagged at $30.
With only three more days of the Barneys Warehouse Sale, organizers have slashed sale prices even further – 40 to 75 percent off. Sunday afternoon was not too crowded. Women’s designer, RTW and shoes are now an extra 50-percent off… men’s suits, shoes, trousers and sportcoats are an additional 40-percent off [...]
