D&G Expansion on Madison Ave.!



Hi Ya!
I was so, so excited to visit designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana’s refurbished and expanded NY flagship at 825-827 Madison Ave. today, but when I arrived, sadly it wasn’t open to the public. Although I’m sure in a few days, the 12,960-square-foot store will be bubbling over with Manhattan shoppers, but there’s nothing like a quick tour on the first day. (Ahh…nothing like the smell of a new clothing store)

According to today's Women’s Wear Daily, D&G has two special bag projects for spring ’08 that are priced approximately $40,000 per bag. (Gasp!) But, if you’re feeling animalistic—the bags are made of antique brocades, crocodile and python—or if you desire a bit of exclusivity, go for it.

So much for my trek in the freezing cold, but oh well, that just ensures a better visit for next time...

xoxo,
Deena
