Morgan & the Parsons Crew

Yipppeeee! Morgan came back again and brought fellow Parsons classmates. We love to meet budding designers! Morgan nabbed, and is wearing an Alessandro Gaggio one-of-a-kind metal cuff and what I call the “SUPER HERO CARDIGAN” by SOFTCORE..

I’m posting this based on various requests and suggestions that we show off the inside of the shop.. This is my little scrapbook from the past couple weeks so you can see who we are and what we do and bits of what we carry.. Enjoy & Happy Holidays! XO Clinton & Marco, Change of [...]
We like to have a party…

And this time, for Rome designer Caterina Gatta. In attempt to revive couture in Rome, Caterina as you may have read earlier, takes vintage fabrics from design houses such as Givenchy & Gianni Versace, and creates modern dresses with a vintage twist. Friday night was her NYC debut, and we were thrilled to host her [...]
Caterina Gatta TONITE! And the internet is buzzing..

Thanks for write-ups on RACKED.com, Guerilla Shopper NY, The Amarcord blog, and various Italian Publications.. Here’s one for you..
SEPARATED AT “BIRTH”.. You tell us!

Ok, yes we like those Rootstein Mannequins, that are based off of real models.. Well we recently procured the newest edition to our family.. And we call her Kristiina Michelle.. The Michelle comes into play, because upon receiving her, and pulling her out of her bubble wrap, we realized that she looks A LOT like [...]
Air Italia has landed.. and so has Caterina’s suitcase- full of garments~!!

I had the delight of being the first to preview the pieces that Caterina will be showing off Friday night.. She lost her voice a few days ago, so all she’ll be able to squeak out is a price! :-)
“If you got em, you might as well show em off!”

Dresses dresses and more dresses.. We finally, or actually she did- came to the decision that if you have a ample bosom, you better show em off while they’re still in prime position! Therefore the decision to go with this Stella McCartney dress to ring in the New Year with! I think it was a [...]
Straight from Derek Jarman’s Jubilee? Jo & ALAN from FAB 208 Boutique!

These lovely shop owners/designers popped in twice, one day..And we had such a great time chatting.. She was wearing a original coat from Vivienne’s ’84 Clint Eastwood Collection that she acquired at Relic in London.. Amazing coat! And filled my ear full of great stories of London in the 80′s.. Looking at her now, I [...]
Show me you love me with MONEY!

OK, so Kristiina Wilson (not to be confused with our mannequin), brought in her D.C. Parents to adventure through the racks of “couture”. She was holding out for presents… I think she was disappointed.. They know her tricks.. “This is Boudicca, My favorite designer”… Oh nice sweetie, but here is KENZO, sorta like Meri Mekko [...]
Lynn Tsutsumi of BOND MAGAZINE… tries it on for size..

Ms. Tsutsumi-Henderson graced us with her presence on a trip back from the Marriage-induced Mother Land, Scotland- to try on a few things for size.. Is that Comme? Or Gaggio jewelry.. That’s pleasure on her face! By the way, she married Marco and myself over a year ago! Go to Bondmag.net and check out her [...]
The Culprit has been caught!

Ok, so everyone has been calling about these coats.. Vivienne Westwood Red Label.. The Grey version was in the December issue of LUCKY.. “Excuse me, do you still have that….” “Sorry, it’s been sold!”.. And this Parsons Student was the ONE!
Friend/Patron UPDATES!!!

Ok, I have to admit that I am SO behind on the blogging.. And why? I have no idea.. All i know is that i got obsessed with Shakespeare’s Sister one day, bought two albums i never had.. and then of course had to explore the new Siobahn Lahey on YouTube.. There where some “youngsters” [...]
