You'd probably like Independence. Try the other place on Oak too forget the name but they carry Kiton and Chrome Hearts so why not.
XOCO for fast soup to eat standing up if you're eating a solo meal
Donut Vault 'Old fashioned" donut is the best donut int the world.
Stay away from that **** they call Pizza.

I just visited and enjoyed Meyvn. Take the blue line out to Logan Square and it's right across the street. Afterwards there's a place called analogue down the street that does good cocktails and Cajun food. Longman and eagle is around there too and is Michelin starred, but the wait is long.

Alber Elbaz is leaving Lanvin. I never followed Lanvin closely but now there seems to be openings at several French fashion houses.

Yep, Elbaz will replace Jill Stanton after she steps down as Old Navy's interim president. Looking forward to what he brings to the brand.

 

[Mulan]

Lanvin up for sale, again?

 

[pickpackpockpuck]

don't think so. Alber is just leaving, evidently not of his own choosing: "...on the decision of the company's majority shareholder"

Don't wanna alarm y'all or anything, but there's LESS THAN ONE WEEK LEFT ON THE PUMPKIN SPICE CHALLENGE

Drop whatever you're doing and get yourself a gourd and a latte, hell, ask the Starbucks barista to take your pic - tell her it's for "the internet."

Read this interview with Bruce Boyer. He gets it and articulates it well.

Actually looks like their brand list is less interesting than it was.
