Alexandra Jacobs headed uptown this week to check out the newly relocated Yigal Azrouël boutique on Madison Avenue. However, her review is more of a critique on the designer himself than the actual store, with Jacobs condemning everything from his PR strategies to a turban he designed for André Leon Talley.
