A Gossipy Little Fairy Tale on the LES....










Once upon a time 10 years ago,in the LES of NYC,a little space on the corner of Stanton Street and Ludlow appeared magically...This was not any shop this was SHOP!!! All the struggling fashionistas,and tragically trendy kids in the east village started to pass by weekly. A brand new boutique with hip young independent labels had appeared all in one spot!!! As time came about new edgy jewelry designers such as Wendy Nichol and Bearhead Factory were placed inside SHOP for all sorts of downtown darlings to play finders keepers with. Before we knew it an array of ballet flats to boots had arrived due to the neighborhood's demand for dancing....

One music venue after another gradually opened for blocks up and down the street. Designer Bags came in,elegant clutches started to appear above racks of denim and live amongst the head pieces. Why? Because "Sex and the City" was on weekly and brought brunch to new exquisite heights. Time was passing and fashion was growing like never before. SHOP became to overcrowded for its little spot on Stanton Street and had to be reinvented onto 94 Orchard Street along with an online shop ILoveShop.com.

As "Sex and the City" ended and "Gossip Girl" aired with stylist Eric Damon's brainchild "Blair Waldorf" was created spawning a trend of Bows across the fashion circuit as well as headbands. So Kristen May the Angel Lust Fairy came to SHOP and sprinkle her headbands and silk sparkley bows around the place as did other designers on everything from bags to blouses!!!
