EAST VILLAGE—The owners of East Village boutique Den opened the place with the intention of showcasing one designer at a time for a span of roughly six weeks. Cheap Monday was first up to bat; now the shop is filled with Rag & Bone duds. [UrbanDaddy]
LOWER EAST SIDE—From this Craigslist post, we glean that eco-friendly vegan footwear shop Moo Shoes is packing up and leaving Allen Street. Don't fret, though—the company is settling down elsewhere. From the curiously-phrased listing: "Available for October, this store on Allen street, offers large remodeled space with 800 sf of street level retail space and basement with access from within, outgoing succesful shoe business grew large here, and moving to larger quarters. Great peedestrain traffic and in very busy area. many cukltural events right by, an ongoing developing area quickly becoming very chick. Call owner's fro details." [RackedWire Inbox]
MIDTOWN WEST—Editors, the fashion elite and celebrities won't be the only ones watching the shows during Fashion Week. American Express Gold, Platinum and Centurion card holders can purchase tickets to a "Skybox-like hospitality suite complete with food and drinks" that will be located inside the tents at Bryant Park. The tickets went on sale on AmEx's website today; Vera Wang, Tracy Reese, Nicole Miller, L.A.M.B, Peter Som, Michael Kors, Reem Acra, Diane Von Furstenberg, Custo Barcelona and Zac Posen are already sold out.
