A Mistress Makes Way For John Bartlett
May 30, 2007
O Mistress Mine, the West Village vintage shop has been closed for a while, now, but The Fashion Informer tells us that the currently empty shop will soon be the site of John Bartlett's first boutique.
It's about time, since no small designer can rely on department stores and wholesale clients to express his brand's aesthetic, and Bartlett's particular style can only be enhanced by being presented in its own environment. The store is set to open at the end of this summer, just in time to fill it with his military academy-inspired Fall collection. To be located at 143 Seventh Avenue South near Charles Street, it will be off the beaten path of Bleecker/Meatpacking mania, but still prominent enough to attract attention and be found easily by his target downtown customer. This corner is beginning to look extra trendy, however, as the boutique will be right next to The City Bakery's new environmentally conscious yet economically pricey Birdbath Neighborhood Green Bakery. Is Seventh Avenue going to be the next hot location?
