barney's has always had a poor selection of his clothes...though...very few pieces...IF in soho has a better grouping and now 7...maybe you could suggest that your friend check these other outlets...Originally posted by softgrey+Apr 12th, 2004 - 4:24 pm--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(softgrey @ Apr 12th, 2004 - 4:24 pm)</div><div class='quotemain'>
Just a mutual friend of Lena's and mine who lives at the MM racks of Barney's. She's been a bit disappointed lately and frankly this is someone who is OBSESSED with MM.

...the store is two small floors...but they carry all of the different lines...the sales staff is just lovely...very cool and chill...and the second floor is just a mass of skylights so it feels like being in an airy attic...very cool...and in the mmm style...all the furniture and display cases are old furniture which has been given a new purpose and painted white...just lovely...(i bought a bunch of stuff because i needed something to remember the place by...)
...lovely, but not for me... 
it was like an art installation...beautiful...anyone who's in london should check it out before they take it down...

sooo...i checked out both stores this weekend...the margiela store was so incredibly cool...i signed the wall too...
on the other end of the spectrum is matthew williamson, just around the corner...it is also beautiful in a much more colourful and shiny kind of way...it reminded me of mardis gras...and there is a huge atrium toward the back of the store -all glassed in with huge plants and a single mannequin wearing a red/coral dress...she looks like she's in the jungle amid all the foliage...it all had a very tropical feel to it...the clothes were very pretty and girly and sexy...and pricey...
i highly recommend a visit to them bot but martin margiela was a special highlight!
also worth checking out-B store down the road...all young new designers and shoes...
they have the designer's they carry do the window displays and it just happened that boudicca had done the current one...
! Did you get the bracelet at MMM? I want a 20 page report on tFS by tomorrow (doublespaced)
my husband & I went to see the shop but it was closed (on a saturday afternoon????) - looked like a nice building. Couldn't be bothered going into tthe Matthew Williamson shop....Originally posted by softgrey@May 11th, 2004 - 2:01 pm
