Arrivederci Prada

It was announced that Barney’s New York is saying goodbye to former mainstay– Prada.

Azzedine Alaia will be assuming the second floor space in the Flagship Boutique and Valextra will expand into the ground floor space where Prada’s bags were sold.

Apparently Prada had desired to lease concession space within the store and this was not a ‘concession’ (pardon the pun) that Barneys was prepared to make at this time.

However, Barneys does intend to continue to vend Prada footwear. What a relief.

Okay, it’s great that no one has mentioned that this is a bit light in the loafers, but what happens in Nihon (hopefully–for me, anyway—) stays in Nihon. Not that a tea cup white poodle in an argyle sweater as carried by a well coiffed 5′7″ (says 5′11″ on his Driving License) Japanese man in Prada IS NOT THE EPITOME OF Masculinity…..sigh,

But,

Well, there does seem to be an abundance of them.

In fact, I’ve never seen so much doggie clothing, combs, barrettes, socks (yes, really) and other paraphernalia in my entire life. It could border on a Fetish.

It could also help explain the -0.5 percent childbirth ratio in what represents one of the world’s most developed nations.
