Maison Kitsuné Anniversary Party

I stopped by the Maison Kitsuné anniversary party last week celebrating the store's one year mark in New York City. The 1000 square foot store is located at the NoMad Hotel on Broadway and 28th Street and has brought it's signature chic and preppy heritage of the French and American cultures that inspire the brand. The store itself was envisioned as an engaging experience in fashion, music, design and lifestyle. It is modelled after a Parisian apartment and has a inviting, clean feel.

As for the party itself, it coincided with the brands release of the Kitsuné AMERICA 2 compilation. Party goers were treated to some of the tunes from the CD that you can listen to below:


The crowd was fashionable and busy chatting up a storm while drinking cocktails with cucumber and anise. It was a chill scene with guests including Nick Wooster and the Sartorialist, Scott Schuman.

Denim Habit NYC Opening

Denim Habit the beloved Philadelphia based boutique is spreading it’s wings a little further and making it’s way to New York City’s Meatpacking District. Last night the store held it’s grand opening party with a celeb studded guest list including Emma Roberts, Kelly Rutherford & Kaylee DeFer (Gossip Girl), Constantine Maroulis, Richie
Rich and more. Since I was a bit late arriving on the scene I think I missed out on the major red carpet action but that didn’t stop me from enjoying myself.
While listening to DJ Structure spin some upbeat takes on pop songs, the crowd was sipping Pom Cocktails or Milkshakes and snacking on cupcakes while perusing the merchandise.

The store specializes in high-end denim and include prestigious brands like AG, DL1961, Henry & Belle, Hudson, J.Brand, Seven for All Mankind, DL 1961, Hudson, Citizens of Humanity, Paige Premium Denim, True Religion, Joe's, Theory, For Joseph, Splendid, SoLow, Hardtail, and Ella Moss.  The store also offers high-end fashion from the likes of Halston Heritage, Dylan Alexa, Patterson J. Kincaid, Joie and Feel the Pieces in the mix.  With it’s wide selection of denim and well educated staff Denim Habit offers women a very specialized and customer oriented shopping experience.
The space itself is long and narrow and features row upon row of perfectly organized denim in a rainbow of colors and finishes. The décor is minimal and the store has a clean open feel that focuses on making product easy to see.  Nothing is overcrowded and the lighting is bright and cheerful so that the differences in washes and tones are obvious.  If you are a fan of shops like Scoop and Intermix I am sure that Denim Habit will have a place in your rotation.
