The pop-up shop we did last year with Rubato and Taillour went really well, so we're coming back to New York in October, with the addition shoemaker Seiji McCarthy (shoes below).
This time we'll be on Christopher Street, with J Mueser kindly letting us use their spaces across from the shop. It's a beautiful location, as I'm sure you all know, and I look forward to a really enjoyable four days seeing everyone.
The details are:
- October 18-21, Wednesday to Saturday (Seiji limited availability on the Saturday)
- Open 11am to 7pm
- At 14 Christopher Street, Suite 1
- Opening drinks on Wednesday 18th from 5pm
- No RSVP is required, but if you would like time with Fred and Seiji specifically, please do make an appointment through them
The run-down on what the brands will be bringing is as follows:
Permanent Style:
- All current products, in all sizes, as try ons only (to order online afterwards)
