It’s August, the lull before the storm of the fashion month that will start in early September in New York and will end in early October in Paris.
This Saturday, August 3rd, we will be hosting Geoffrey B. Small at Atelier New York for an intimate meet-the-designer event.
Back in 2014, in an Op-Ed for the Business of Fashion, I rang the alarm about fashion stores losing their edge as tastemakers. I was mainly looking at Barneys, the iconic New York department store, as one that was losing its cache with the fashion-forward customer by becoming too commoditized. Fast-forward to 2019 and Barneys is now exploring bankruptcy. Theories abound as to what went wrong with the store, and there is not one single reason for Barneys possible demise – there is the crazy rent hike on its flagship, increased competition online, changing consumer tastes. But out of all commentators Lauren Sherman, of BoF nailed a big one, “Instead of owning cool, Barneys began chasing it.”
We are happy to announce that UNDERCOVER has officially launched their online store, today.
