Unfortunately no, but you have a COMME des GARCONS store in NY, which is really COOL!!!B)

 

[melt977]

Have you been to Bios yet? If yes what are your comments? Does it stock many things?

i don't..because i live in canada...i'm going to new york this spring that's why i asked...why one of the reasons i'm intersted in the guerilla stores is becasue the prices must be lower

* how much lower, btw?

 

[melt977]

Good question...

 

[GuerrillaBoy]

Good question...

Concerning Bios they stock lots of thing from several lines, now they have JAN CdG, HOMME, FRED PERRY CdG SHIRT, HOMME PLUS EVERGREEN, and form womens wear COMME des GARCONS, Tricot, JW MAN PINK, JW DENIM...lots of things!!

Prices: I bought a JW MAN from S/S04 t-shirt for 70euros and a friend bought while it was current season for 220euros!!!SHOCK!! it depends the average price is like 200-400 euros main line!!!

And of course you can find some items which they were specially made only for AOYAMA (TOKYO) and clothes also!!!!i bought a bag, a snowdome and some other stuff for 120euros, they were only for the store in TOKYO!

allee shop...;(

 

[Baizilla]

^ i loved that shop.. it was located right next to a bookshop right?

They had an amazing stock..

managed to grab a lot

 

[dets_b]

yeah!
it was just at the right-left side of the bookshop,
now, i would liek to know if they will open other one
in Berlin...i hope it, but it will never be like the
first one, small and quite private...the big one was
quite special, i admit, but i found the small one in a
way more berlin...
now, i am quite curious about one in kph!
maybe i found there the shoes i was dreaming for,
militar green with black soles...

 

[dets_b]

on sale!

I thought that Athens had just recently opened and did not know they´d close again so soon...!

 

[i-love-polkadots]

I liked the first Berlin one better as well...But the one in the bookshop was also very special, because it just looked like it had been frozen in time. The contrast with the clothes was great. For my taste it was too far out of the city, just like you would have to travel to another city. The first store was more 'rocked down', just what people expect from Berlin.

It was an old house, then BIOS came a nchange it into a projecting room and then GS... it is small and sweet, with lots of details...first of all it is hidden inside of the big building at the polaroid show at the GS site...it is really cool and REALLY hard to find it!!
