It's dark days for freakum dresses. Bebe's former Union Square-neighboring outpost is about to get a new tenant: Eddie Bauer. We spotted signage for the outdoorsy brand while passing by the 100 Fifth Avenue spot, although there's no word yet on when the fleece jacket takeover will be complete. Good on Bauer for shunning the newly-minted activewear corridor that is West 14th Street and striking out somewhere new.
