All stories about "Bond Street"

Just when other store windows were starting to make us a little depressed with their desperate sales. and prep for war, we fortuitously ambled across this bit of attitude at the Daryl K. store at 21 Bond Street by Lafayette. "F--K THE RECESSION" indeed, as Daryl K.keeps prices high and holds tight during the economic downturn like someone waiting out a tornado in a mobile home.

Because Manhattan's Bond Street shall want for nothing, the tiny cobblestone block can now add chichi hair salon to its list of luxury amenities. Downtown hair maven Eva Scrivo has opened her second full-service salon at 50 Bond (next to the upcoming residential development 48 Bond—you know, the one with the lap pool visible from the sidewalk). The salon, situated between Bowery and Lafayette Street, opened today, and the 3,000-square-foot space is a stunner. High ceilings are complemented by mid-century antique chandeliers and glossy wood floors, and when you first swing through the doors, rows and rows of hair products are positioned neatly along the shelves. Eva Scrivo carries a full assortment of hair products from Kerastase and Bumble and Bumble, hairbrushes from Denman and famous London brand Mason Pearson and their own hairband line ($45-110).

TIMES SQ—Construction on a sign in Times Square has exposed a hidden, er, gem. A tipster: "I was in Times Square today and happened to notice they are working on the sign on top of Toys R Us, which allowed what looks to be the original sign in that location to be visible again—a sign for Rush Limbaugh’s TV show, which ended in 1996. Kinda cool." Those were the days? [RackedWire Inbox]

NOHO—An eagle-eyed Racked reader points out some funny pricing at Oak's new Bond Street boutique: "Oddly, an item from Fall—the AZ men's double-breasted cape/poncho that was $300 at the Oak sample sale in the same space—had reverted back to its full retail price of $600 during the store party." [Racked Comments]

This past Friday night, with a hipster-heavy bash reminiscent of Misshapes, OAK on Bond Street officially threw open their doors. The interior of the store is minimalistic, with plain white walls and dark clothing lining the racks. The men's and womenswear is separated by a large black sculptural piece that runs the length of the store. The wooden structure is lined with roofing material and created by a local artist to reflect OAK's basic, "deconstructed" aesthetic. It kind of looks like a giant caterpillar.

Attention teeny-boppers and trashy club-crashers: please be advised that the Joyce Leslie store at University Place in the Village will be relocating a little farther downtown. The retailer is scheduled to set up shop in March at the corner of Broadway and Bond Street, although their University location will remain open for a few more months until the lease expires. Joyce Leslie, based in Jerz and known for knock-offs and skintight tween attire, will actually be replacing the defunct Wet Seal on Broadway. We doubt shoppers buying polyester tube dresses will even notice the difference...

The scene at 5:15pm at OAK on Bond Street

Hipsters may have a reputation for being aloof and lazy, but not when it comes to their clothing! Skinny heartbreakers literally stormed the OAK sample sale preview this evening at the new store on Bond Street in Manhattan. Fifteen minutes after the sale began at 5pm, the store was already buzzing, with good reason: the clothes and prices were hot.

HARLEM—Planet Fitness (tagline: The Judgment-Free Zone) has decided to invade Harlem. A reader writes: "i know you all don't do much uptown, but this is big update. planet fitness is opening at 126th and MLK Boulevard. Continuing the transformation uptown." No judgment! [RackedWire Inbox]

NOHO—The new Manhattan OAK store that we broke word of two weeks ago will be opening its doors tonight. The storefront will serve as the company's sample sale space, and then, we assume, will re-open as a regular boutique. [RackedWire]

Earlier today, we reported that hip boutique OAK is planning a new store on Bond St in Manhattan, scheduled to open mid-January. But there's more than borough expansion on the horizon for the retailer. While their primary Williamsburg location will remain intact, they've been renovating their second outpost at 668 President Street in Park Slope. It's been closed for the past couple of weeks, to reopen in mid-January as a new concept store called OAK Shoes. Yes, excitingly enough, they're going to be selling a lot more footwear in the Slope. Why the change? Well, the edgy clothing familiar to OAK was not selling so well in the slightly-staid quarters of Park Slope (we always thought it was a strange choice of location for them)—although shoes always flew off the shelves. Thus, Oak's founders decided to remodel the space and sell shoes and accessories only. They are promising some really sharp new lines and more styles from brands like Jeffrey Campbell and Frye. Now we'll be looking forward to the new store and more shoes! Looks like it's about time to repaint that sign.

Uber-hip Brooklyn boutique OAK is crossing the East River. The retailer, which has outposts in Willliamsburg and Park Slope, is opening a store on Bond Street. OAK will inhabit the space formerly occupied by British retailer Ghost between Lafayette Street and the Bowery. While it’s their first foray into the Manhattan market, the merchandise and aesthetic at the new store will be in keeping with their other locations; expect a sharp, well-edited assortment of classic designers and up-and-coming talent. The Bond location will carry many of the labels currently available at their Williamsburg store, which sells Acne Jeans, Alice Ritter, Anna Corinna, Bless, Daryl K, Filippa K, Jeremy Scott, Ksubi, Lisa Levine, Opening Ceremony, and Superfine Denim, among others. The company is planning for a mid-January opening, and OAK staff confirmed that the upcoming store is running on schedule. Bond Street has seen major luxury condo and a hot tapas restaurant open over the past year, so it’s nice to see a solid retailer getting in on the action, too.
UPDATE: In more OAK news, their Park Slope store's getting a makeover.
