Additional Markdowns: Barney's Warehouse

Stopped by this morning at the Barney's Warehouse and was roaming around as the new markdowns were being posted.  While the sale is definitely not as good as previous sales, there's still some decent stuff if you fervently dig.

Happy Labor day weekend!

Barney's Warehouse Sale: Coming to a Computer Near You

If you're a fan of the Barney's warehouse sale,  brace yourself - the sale is going online this year! If you want access to an early preview you can sign up here.  Usually the pricing at the beginning of the warehouse sale is the same as the final markdown in stores/online - so the warehouse sale might just be a continuation of their current sale now (which is up to 75% off).

For all the die hard fans out there, fear not, there will still be a physical sale held at the Chelsea Co-op store from Aug 23-Sept 3, 2012.  Since the markdowns get pretty fierce at the end, it might be worth fighting the crowds and scouring through the piles of merch.  Despite its craziness, this sale holds a special place in my retail heart - I've come away with insane deals on some amazing pieces but it can definitely be a hit or miss.

Checking In: Barney's Warehouse

Stopped by the Barney's sale on my way home from work today and snagged a quick picture of the new markdowns.  For menswear, take an extra 40% off designer wear/accessories/shoes, 50% off outerwear and ties, 60% sportswear and pants/jeans and 75% off damages.  For Womenswear, take an extra 40% off accessories, 50% for everything else and 75% off damages.

For the menswear designer pieces - it's all pretty much Thom Browne dress shirts.  There are some items including Ralph Lauren Black Label, Jil Sander, Etro and Kiton but those are all considered sportswear - but it's a bigger discount so no complaints here.  Discount wise, based on previous sales, there should be one more markdown where menswear items hit 75% off.

Note:  If you're looking for women's damages - check out the damages section in menswear before you head out - there are quite a few pieces floating around, probably leftover from some overzealous hoarder who got carried away before discarding the excess.

My findings co-incide with other Barneys WH sale reports floating around, I'm definitely not a fan of the sale this year.  While I did pick up a couple things - I wouldn't necessarily recommend checking out.

In Stores Now: Cynthia Rowley for Roxy

Last week, Erin and I stopped by Barney's Co-op to check out the new Cynthia Rowley for Roxy collection. We got a peak at the clothes, but didn't get to study them for long since it was a really crowded press preview. From what we saw though, the pieces are super cute and definitely beach-worthy.
The collection includes wetsuits, swimsuits and surf-inspired clothing and accessories. My personal favorites were the neoprene dress and pencil skirt (bottom right). And I'm usually not a big fan of graphic tees or tanks, but I actually really like the kaleidoscope tank (left).
I feel like neoprene is making it's way out of the ocean and into the streets. I've seen a few edgier designers like Jeremy Scott use it before, and I think Cynthia Rowley's collection will Roxy will probably help this trend take off.
I was a little disappointed in the crinkle silk dress (bottom left) as it looked a little frumpy, but I was into the softness and quality of the gray cotton hoodie (right). And I liked the shark tooth zipper detail. Again, I think the real winning pieces are the neoprene ones. They're so flattering and unique, clearly something from Cynthia Rowley and Roxy.
Most pieces retail for under $150 with the exception of the $160 neoprene dress and the $225 wetsuit. The collection will be available at Barney’s and Colette, as well as roxy.com.

Fashion Suffers Bad Markets



If you were hoping to catch the Chanel Mobil Art Exhibit in London, Paris or Moscow, sorry to disapoint in a moved relating to the crumbling of the global economy, New York's showing ending last month will now be the stopping point of the costly endeavor.

A Chanel spokeswoman told WWD, "Considering the current economic crisis, we decided it was best to stop the project. We will be concentrating on strategic growth investments."

This is yet another reflection of how bad things are getting in the fashion industry as countless labels are now canceling their Bryant Park runway shows in favors of presentations and small parties. DKNY, Vera Wang, Carmen Marc Valvo and Betsey Johnson will not be showing at Bryant Park. J. Mendel, Monique Lhuillier and Reem Acra are also considering other options for February.

On the plus side, much at Barney's is now 75% Off! If you're above the economy and have money to spend, now is the time to do it.

Black Friday Online Sales - UPDATED

It's been an interesting year of shopping. Like someone wrote on Racked.com, Black Friday is going to be kind of weird because almost everything is already on sale. With the US experiencing the big R-word, retailers and designers have been forced to drop their prices - sales, sales, and more sales. While it's always exciting to get a deal, it's also kind of worrisome, no? Ok, before I become Debie Downer, I'm going to link you to a few of my recommended Black Friday online sales.

Wangtastic!

The baby faced designer Alexander Wang has been one of my favorite contemporary designers since I stumbled across his clothes at a sample sale in late 2007. He launched his first full women's wear collection in 2007 comprising predominantly of knits. Still famous for his luxe cashmere, he has come a long way in the last couple of years to become an in demand designer, who despite a tough economy had his floor space at Barney's actually increase.

The Alexander Wang look is full of contrasts: luxe vrs street, sexy vrs androgyny, vagabond meets street-smart modernist. It is based on his intrigue of how women dress when they're not trying to dress up. I think it equates to effortless cool; versatile, simple, classy, all-occasion but with an edge.

Now, Alexander Wang has some serious fashion cred behind his name as he was just chosen as the fifth CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund recipient. With funding & support for his label, I can't wait to see what the future has in store for his label.

WWD reports:
At Monday night’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund dinner gala, Wang took home the top honors, pocketing $200,000 and a year’s worth of mentoring. Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai of Vena Cava and Albertus Q. Swanepoel of Albertus Quartus were this year’s runners-up, and will each receive $50,000 and a business mentor.

The winners beat out finalists Richard Chai, Jason Wu, Irene Neuwirth, Alejandro Ingelmo, Juan Carlos Obando, Obedient Sons & Daughters, and Organic.

Founded by the Council of Fashion Designers of America and Vogue, the fund is seen as an accelerator of fashion careers. Previous winners were Rogan in 2007, Doo-Ri in 2006, Trovata in 2005 and Proenza Schouler in 2004. Past runners-up were 3.1 Phillip Lim, Philip Crangi Jewelry, Rodarte, Thakoon, Derek Lam, Thom Browne, Cloak and Habitual.
