Gap x Colette

Inside the Colette x Gap pop-up store on 5th avenue. It's a mashup of the hip boutique in Paris and the faltering American chain that sometimes makes good advertisements and otherwise boring and inexpensive clothing for the masses.

It's a very well-designed store and some of the small array of products are intriguing, if a bit overpriced. I bought a gray t-shirt that's very comfortable and fits great. The store makes Gap seem cool for about five seconds, but I still couldn't find anything in the regular store that I need or want.

Jumbo Sunglasses

Found. Those sunglasses you lost. 9:30PM on 5th Avenue in front of Henri Bendel's new Gossip Girl windows.

Trump Tower

Possibly one of the lamest skyscrapers in Manhattan. Presenting Donald Trump's architectural masterpiece, Trump Tower.

To me, this photograph recalls Hiroshi Sugimoto's architecture series. "Sugimoto's blurred forms evoke the passage of time, muting any architectural detail, and leaving only the essence of the building in his final prints. In this way Sugimoto’s process is suggestive of the way in which our memories both preserve and distort images."
