Downstairs at Kirna Zabête, noonish today
It is looking bleak out there, friends. Despite generous discounts around town, people just aren't shopping like they used to. Over lunch, we dropped by Greene Street boutique Kirna Zabête, where today only all fall merchandise is 40% off. We expected a frenzy, but the place was quiet (maybe we missed an early morning rush)?
Daryl K's Victory sale >>
Label: Daryl K
Deal: Election sale, with 50% off all fall merchandise
When/Where: Tuesday, November 4th through Sunday, November 9th. Tue—Sat 11am—7pm; Sun noon—6pm. 21 Bond St between Bowery and Lafayette Sts (212-529-8790).
Yesterday's recession-proof jeans are fine if you're going for a casual impending-depression look, but what if you want to commemorate the plunging Dow in a more formal way? Thank goodness for Daryl K, whose recession dress references not only the millions of dollars lost in the past couple weeks, but also an earlier era of hard times. "The dress is oh-so-nineties," says Nylon, "especially its strappy top and the winding seam down the bottom, rendered in a blue hue that's so dismal it's chic." It can be yours from Barney's Co-op for a mere $620.
