Up from SoHo: with the new Comme des Garcons store in Chelsea, a fashion pioneer breaks retail ground

Article Abstract:

Rei Kawakubo's Commes des Garcons store is the centerpiece of a showplace for her clothes and perfume in New York's Chelsea neighborhood. Everything defies the expected chain-store repetitiveness. The front facade invites shoppers into a tunnel space through which they must walk to explore her designs with members of her staff.
