Fall Preview All Over Town

Fall is coming on fast, so here's a look at a few more stores coming in the next few months that we have discovered.

Village residents were sorry to see the market Strawberry Fields leave Bleecker Street. We would have expected that the one story building would have been demolished to make way for something taller that took better advantage of the valuable real estate, but what do we know? The space will be taken over by British sportswear chain Reiss, making it their second NY store, with another on Columbus Avenue soon to follow. After all, who needs food when you can buy more clothes?

Further downtown in SoHo, Los Angeles fashion jewelry designer Tarina Tarantino is opening a store on Greene Street below Prince, right between Anya Hindmarch and Face Stockholm. Tarantino is known for her shocking pink hair and well-priced hyper-girly wares festooned with crystals. Expect a blindingly sparkly shop.

And back up on Madison Avenue, Buccellati's former home on the corner of 65th street will be taken by the extravagant Parisian shoe designer Roger Vivier. The folks behind Tod's are responsible for reviving the label of the legendary haute chausseur who would have made Manolo Blahnik look like Dr. Scholl. Get ready for a major new destination for New York's shoe-obsessed.
