American Apparel
10 more days
and I will be back in Italy.
I think I had enough of NYC, I mean it's a great city, but you must have a lot of money to live it and I'm not concern about that because I'm going to be rich very soon, but this is another story.
Anyway, now I'm broke.

American Apparel
That Dov Charney must be a wit for building such a worldwide kingdom up in the space of few years. Besides, he's done all of that just selling t-shirts at the beginning....."I like that guy".
Now he has an entire clothing line and his own stores all around the world where to sell it.
Here in NYC there are 11 AA stores strewn between Manhattan (among which one in 5th avenue) and Brooklyn and the company is getting bigger over and over. In Italy they opened three stores in three different cities within only a year.
I always liked the small independent clothing store, but I can not deny that I enjoy to go in the Mr. Charney stores. I think they made up an outstanding and innovative way to be present in the retail field. Whatever, I just wanted to show you some pictures that I took during this time spent here.

....and this is Shannon, I had a little talk with her. She works as the assistant manager in an American Apparel store here in Brooklyn. She looks very nice in her short shorts and black socks. It was great to meet you Shannon.

A Saturday along 5th avenue
Hi guys, I know I have been a little bit absent in the last days. But I have so much stuff to do.
Anyway, yesterday was Saturday and I found the time to wander along 5th avenue in Manhattan. My girlfriend had to buy a pair of shoes. She ended up to take three new pairs of shoes home. She needed shoes for day-to-day wear, no heels (she already has enough heels).
These are the three.
TOTAL: $178,85
In the shoes store in SoHo, while she was trying the items, I was taking some pictures.
Then we walked up for the Avenue and I found a really cool vintage store called Cheap Jack's vintage clothing at the intersection with 31st. Usually I'm not a fan of the vintage clothing stores but I went in (photo were not allowed) and I noticed that I was in a REAL vintage clothing store. The space is huge and only God knows all the goods you can find in there. The tags in each item indicate the year it was made. I got a 60's short sleeves shirt and I took off .

These are the three.
The first one: BC footwear/coast to coast - half off $39,90
the second one: Converse/ct slip - $19,90
The third one: Hush puppies - $139,00
TOTAL: $178,85

This is Cathrine, I liked the t-shirt she wore and also.....all the rest.
And this is Ella. She was from Germany. "Hi Ella, let me know if you found the shoes you were looking for"

I heart - Bio
So, I decided to take a walk in Soho, Manhattan yesterday and in particular I was attracted by Mott st. where I knew there were a bunch of interesting clothing stores.
I can say it's a really nice street with trees dividing the concrete from the sidewalk and above all not tainted by the cars...almost.
Apparently all the stores that I passed by are those sort of stores where you can find only independent brands and items that came out from emerging designers. I glanced at all of the shop windows and I went in just two stores which I have been smitten by.
I heart
262 Mott St. between Prince and Houston, New York, NY

You have to go downstairs to find yourself in a space where every item for sale and the objects along with the furniture conveyed the pure essence of the art and design. The atmosphere is that of the art gallery with the difference that there it is possible to try the pieces of artwork on.
It's kind of expensive, but if you are around Mott st. you gotta have a look at this concept store and then maybe you will realize if pulling out that money from your wallet is worth it. If you are not nearby just go on the website, you will find several interesting surprises.
I heart
This is Caroline. She works there, she is not the owner of the place, but she has been so nice to me. She told me the store has been open since 2004.

Bio Emerging Designers
29 Prince Street, New York, NY 10012
www.bio-nyc.com
This place is kind of a High Fashion clothing store: the interior, the arrangement of the space, the attention toward the minimalism in the decor and the white as main color for the walls and the ceiling. If you look closely at the tags of the goods though, you will notice that will be hard to find any names that sound familiar. As you can read from the website the intent of this unique boutique is to offer pieces of art created by emerging designers coming from all over the world "selected for their attention to design, quality and craftsmanship". The style of the collections sold in this store is that of a "young woman who wants to look hip as well as professional".
When I went in I met the owner who didn't seems so happy about my presence and my request to take some pictures for the blog. She looks suspicious toward me, but I think I can perfectly understand her....I mean, All I do is show up there, wandering by the shelves with a sketchy look and I introduce myself without any cards, just saying, "Hi, I have a blog, can I take some pictures of your store?......I think I need to figure out a new way of approach

At the NYC Marathon
I didn't know it, but the Marathon ran on the street where I live. I took some pictures yesterday along the path of the event. Mostly the pictures are of the runners whose style I do not think you will care about. There were a few people on the edge of the street that deserved to be photographed.
Here is David. He was eating a sandwich while I asked for a picture and he acted as though he's asked for pictures on the street all the time....He was like:- oh god, here's another one!-. But he was cool.
These are Alex and Noah. Hope you guys find the blog. Thanks
