HERE'S WHAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING ON JUNE 22: VISITING COMME DES GARCON'S POP UP STORE

new york - me personally? i'll be on a flight back to new york from brazil. but once i hit jfk, i may have to ask my cabbie to drop me off at barney's new york. that is one of two locations where comme de garcon will be debuting pop up stores. the second location will be a free-standing boutique on 10th avenue and 17th street. the fuss is about the brand's new "black" line, which offers the same edgy lux that comme des garcon is known and loved for at a more affordable price point. what does that mean? well, t-shirts will run you between $84 and $147 and jackets round $350 to $623. as pricey as this sounds - at least to this blogger - it is still about half of what you would pay for cdg's regular line. black is already garnering a huge cult following around the world and specifically in tokyo, where two boutiques are already up and running. the stateside pop up stores open on the 22nd of june and will be running for exactly two weeks. zandile blay
