EMILIO PUCCI // starved for windows

I WALKED DOWN GREENE ST. TODAY, 

WOOSTER ST., PRINCE ST., SPRING ST., AND MERCER ST.

I WAS CURIOUS TO SEE IF ANYONE 

(LIKE SAINT LAURENT PARIS, APC, CÉLINE, CHLOÉ)

HAD DONE THEIR WINDOWS FOR FASHION WEEK.

BEHIND THE SCENES: RETAIL WORKERS WERE RE-ARRANGING DISPLAYS 

IN-STORE, DECIDING WHICH BAG SHOULD GO WHERE.

EVERYONE WAS AT LINCOLN CENTER FOR THE SHOWS,

IT WAS LIKE THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM.

BUT THE WINDOWS WERE EMPTY.

MAYBE IT'S A NEW YORK THING

(OR LAZY?)

BUT I LOVE A GOOD DISPLAY WINDOW.

MAYBE IN NEW YORK IT'S MORE OF A

"I KNOW I'M GOING TO BUY THIS

BECAUSE I SPENT 1 HOUR GETTING HERE

AND OH GOD I NEED COFFEE"

MENTALITY.

I DON'T LIKE IT.  I LONG FOR WINDOWS LIKE THIS ONE,

EMILIO PUCCI (FLORENCE)

I TOOK THIS DURING PITTI UOMO/PITTI IMMAGINE 2013.

IN EUROPE, THERE IS AN ART TO THE DISPLAY WINDOW.

IN NEW YORK...?  I DON'T KNOW.  

BUT I'M NEW TO THE CITY.  

... SHOULD I BE LOOKING ELSEWHERE?

SOMEONE ELSE BY NIGHT // le smoking

 

ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING ABOUT THE SAINT LAURENT CONCEPT OF

LE SMOKING

IS APPEALING TO ME:

THAT THERE IS SOME SECRET PLACE

WORTHY OF SILK LAPELS

SO FORMAL IT'S CASUAL

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU ARE BY DAY

YOU ARE SOMEONE (ELSE) BY NIGHT.

 

(... AND BEHIND THE SCENES)

IT'S WORLD CAT DAY.
