Thanks Snafu. You are about two months too late though - the spot has been blown wide open.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

I need SZ's help for New York store recommendations (yes i have checked the stickies etc). I wont have tooo much time, so I'd just like to know all of my options so i can spend my time efficiently. my list is currently as follows:
thom browne
yohji yamamoto
maison martin margiela
aloha rag
n(n)
If
atelier
RO
seven
oak
odin
nom de guerre
dior homme
comme des garcons
helmut lang
i realise it would be much too big an effort to see all of these in only a few days, though these are my options (some of which i am much more keen on than others). For most of these I am more interested in seeing the stores and clothing in person than actually purchasing (stretched for cash).
Are there any other flagship stores or smaller boutiques that i'm missing (in terms of SZ style brands and smaller interesting designers)? Any smaller stores that few may know about?

mostly food, accomodation etc though
as for stores, I would definately skip aloha rag, firstly because they are ridicilously expensive, and secondly because their selection at the nyc store is pretty wack. for example, last fall they had hardly any Demeulemeester which is one of the quite few designers of theirs I would've liked to see.. I would personally skip ndg, dior and helmut lang, but if those are labels you are particularly into then you should probably check them out."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION. NOW NOW this is it people, these are the brands no one fucking knows and people are like WTF. they do everything by hand in their freaking secret basement and shit."

skip atelier. not worth it.
on a more serious note, why the fuck would you want to go to fake helmut lang? SZ cardinal sin number 1. and dior homme, lolwut? skip nom de guerre and odin while you are at it, as well as thom browne. n(n), why the fuck would you want to go - need some clown attire? aloha rag, are you joking? are you in the market for philip lim? and why aren't you going to barneys? oak is a joke. you might want to check out jeffrey - even though everything about it sucks, they've started buying Ann like crazy. i'm done.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

yea, those guys dress mad funny
I think Odin is pretty nice if you're into the brands they carry, I mainly check them out for Geller as they tend to have a pretty good stock.. but if the rag&bone, nice collective etc aesthetic appeals to you then its worth checking out for sure.
n(n), well their runway stuff undoubtedly sucks, I dont know how much of the basic stuff (denim etc.) they usually haveLast edited by lowrey; 02-19-2009, 07:55 AM."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION.

ahh yeah well as i said many of the flagship stores were there purely because i recalled they label had a flagship store in NY. Also, coming from Brisbane, some of these labels i have never even had the chance to see in person before, so perhaps you could understand that I am not really in a position to be overly discerning in my selections. i realise a few of the brands have seen their best times, and again, this was merely a list of all the options i had.
thanks for the heads up lowrey.

Faust, what's with the rant? you are going to give the wrong idea about new yorkers.
034936, i would consider choosing stores that are in close proximity to each other...Barney's is great, but there's nothing else in the area, shopping wise.
You can hit CDG, MMM, Yohji MP, and Jeffrey in a couple of hours, easily. Helmut Lang is also right there, but not so great, imo. The first two are especially good, since the spaces themselves are interesting.
Another cluster would be IF, Yohji, Seven and Odin, all in Soho. (The first two are across the street from each other.) You might also consider taking a walk through Chinatown (lots of good cheap food) and going to Project no. 8.
Atelier, RO, and Thom Browne are also close to each other, basically just a straight walk down Hudson....I mean the ephemeral, the fugitive, the contingent, the half of art whose other half is the eternal and the immutable.

Yeah i took a look at the map, but noticed there was no rick owens store, and figured that there may be a few other newer stores that may also not be incluided, and figured it would be safer to ask SZers.
And about thom browne, i was interested after reading a great review of the store fitout.. though i do suppose the SA's wouldnt be too welcoming of me if i had come purely to look at the store and not spend.
laika, thanks so much for the advice about the clustered shops, that will be very useful when it comes to splitting up time.
another quick question, how much do cab fares vary and generally cost around manhattan?
