Cool Hunting
We were pleasantly surprised by Target's Bullseye Bodega pop-up concept, featuring guest-designer clothing, accessories and objects at Target's usual low prices. Four Manhattan locations will be open for four days only—12-15 September 2008—though much of the merchandise will be available online and in Target stores later on.
Taking a page from the original Bodega shop in Boston, Bullseye Bodega mimics the traditional NYC corner store. Grocery shelves and produce coolers hold clothes, accessories and beauty products. Highlights include a womens line by Jonathan Saunders, accessories by Anya Hindmarch and some paper goods by John Derian, all of which are in advanced release at the pop-up shop before hitting general Target stores. Visit Target for the full list of the 22 designers participating as well as the pop-up shop locations.

by Laura Neilson The much-anticipated Green Depot finally opened its doors three weeks ago on Manhattan's Bowery. Given the current economic climate (and the grim predictions concerning consumer spending freezes), it seems pretty risky for any new retail venture start up, but environmentally-focused stores/products seem to be one of the few exceptions. Reuters recently reported that despite the despite the recession, four out of five...
Joining the design elite on Soho's Greene Street, droog opened their multi-story NYC showroom, shop and exhibition space yesterday. Dutch designers Studio Makkink & Bey lent a hand with the interior, a space that blurs the lines between objects, store fittings and architecture with its House of Blue concept, which allows customers the opportunity to purchase parts or fixtures, like a working chimney, and even...
Fresh off a smoke, Renzo Rosso sat down with us to answer a few questions about Diesel's newest and largest Planet store on swanky Fifth Avenue in NYC. Looking more Mick Jagger than his revered neighbor Armani, it's clear this store is more rock'n'roll than Rockefeller. Located at the corner of 54th Street, the doors open today, just four hours before Renzo bares his Fall...
by Kelsey Keith Tucked between a check cashing service and a vacant lot on First Avenue in New York's East Village is a tiny storefront with funny hours. Sometimes closed at noon and occasionally rocking out past midnight, it's a sure sign that Linhardt isn't your typical jewelry store. Owner Lisa Linhardt is a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to design, with a resume listing photography,...
by Rachel Felder Just when it seemed that NYC's Bleecker Street couldn't squeeze in another stylish boutique, it has. Diptyque, the French brand best known for blissfully scented candles, recently opened its first Big Apple store, just down the block from Marc Jacobs' ever-expanding cluster of stores and Bleecker's other landmark, Magnolia Bakery. Originally intended as a pop-up store, Diptyque will now be a permanent...
by Tamara Warren McNally Jackson is your average neighborhood bookstore—with a neighborhood that extends well past its Prince Street hub in New York City. The independently-owned store opened its doors in December 2004 and has become well-trodden browsing grounds for book lovers of a particular variety: independent, worldly and curious. Part of its irrefutable charm is the adjoining teashop, where literary events are held on...
