What a Sunday! ( I was about to say funday and then I tried to remember to be cool )
I finally muster the confidence to head over to Saks after lucking and stalking the the secret pop up located in litterly the basement of Saks. NO JOKE !
I though by Sunday everyone would have known, and there was going to be one of "those" lines like the Yayoi Kusama exhibit to get into the basement of SAKS.
Amazed! I WAS IN - and even better I got to talk to and actually inpromptu interview the master mind Phil Reese- the guy behind this collaboration, pop up, what ever it is, ak: coolest project SAKS has done in years.
In my opinion this is THE BEST THING SAKS has done - it got the " art crowd" from down town UP town and talking about their store and during Fashion week. #departmentstoregoals
The idea of, what is a department store these days is a larger issue. But let's not go there. Let's talk about how utterly cool the entire experience is / was!
First off you can enter in from their gold Elevator that brags the most Lucky Cats in NYC ( it's super cute) .
Then you are overwhelmed with Instagram worthy moments and snarky cleaver messages. Art created by Jeremy Penn, book launch for Jesse Frohman known for his photos of Kurt Cobain giant 100 gallon plus fish tank that doubled as a DJ booth - it was great!
The over sized art decorating the walls doubled as backdrops for Sak's Spring look book and will be used in the widows once taken down.
If you check out the Good luck Dry cleaners Instagram during fashion week you would have gotten a peek at some really cool parties - FOMO alert. yes ..... yes... I know.
I was excited to meet Phil Reese - keep doing what you are up to this is IT you can feel it!
