Although it says men's fashion, a lot of the clothing are unisex. Aape clothes are more boxy and baggy and BAPE clothes are more tighter fitting. There's only two Aape shop locations in the US and one is located at 340 Lafayette in NYC. The shop was clean and the clothes were neatly displayed. They had a nice selection of T-shirts and sweatshirts. They only display one sweatshirt on the floor, but they usually have more sizes in the back. I purchased a black fleece Aape sweatshirt that cost $145. Because it was over NYC's clothing limit of $109, it was taxed at 8.875%. There were two workers in the store and both seemed friendly and helpful. Glad I got a chance to check out the Aape store in NoHo in NYC.

Apiece Apart is a womenswear fashion brand based in NYC that features read-to-wear casual clothes…read morein quality materials with an eye for sustainability. I would describe their clothes as having clean lines, styles that look simple and timeless, which usually means easy-fitting, not overly constructed, the opposite of super feminine (ie. ruffles and trim details, a lot of vibrant or pastel tones), leaning towards neutral and classic colors. The aesthetic of their Nolita store captures a similar style as their clothes, white washed walls, hanging racks spaced out for a clean open, showroom; each piece hanging on an individual hanger that's spaced apart from the next, so each garment can stand out. Simple, natural furniture that feels classic, with wooden touches here and there. Staff asked if I needed help when I came in for a look. Price point is on the high side with tees and tanks starting at $125, tops at $245, pants at $295 and dresses at $495.

I had to jump in quickly to find an outfit and they helped pick things out ahead of time for when I arrived. This store sets itself apart from the others by being one of the few that has a functional and informative website that shows their beautiful inventory --- though keep in mind, the website only has a portion of what they actually have in store. Highly recommend this business and even more so if you are able to stop by in person!

She truly cares about her customers and their needs. The prices are very fair when compared to similar vendors in the popular desi areas. It's located on Hillside Ave easily accessible via public transportation (bus and train). Surely can drive as well there's paid street parking and lucky enough can find a spot in the residential area. I've visited the previous shop and now they took over the store next door to make it into a one big shop. The store is beautifully renovated with modern sleek design and I love the flower wall as soon as you walk in on your left. Compared to the previous store this is a huge upgrade not only for the space, decor but as well as the collection of goods. The store has been divided into 3 huge sections (one for men's and kid's wear), women's collection and more women's + kids collection in the back of the store along with some Islamic home decor items). Let's not forget the flower wall it's great for selfies post trying out some beautiful outfits. They offer gorgeous bridal outfits, saris, lengha's, hijab, dupatta, salwaar kameez, desi jewelry sets, nose rings, earrings, anklets, bangles, desi shoes, desi purse, tailoring services on premises, customization for any outfit, entire section dedicated to men's desi wear and kids for matching outfits. The kids attire is absolutely adorable I love how beautifully they can be paired with their parents for any occasion. Not only they specialize in desi collection but the owner of this place is an amazing henna and makeup artist. Her prices are very fair and the service she provides is totally worth every dime you spend. This place offers an outfit for any occasion you can further compliment your entire look accordingly with their accessories. Highly recommend this shop!!

I've bought several of my favorite pairs of shoes here, a beautifully cut casual jacket, and some blankets I love.

The prices are a bit steep, but the items are stylish and well-made enough to justify the occasional splurge.

Yes, I'm the big guy with the tough vibe she describes on her website, along with pictures of the finished jacket. I thought I was a perfectionist, but Carla went over and above to create a jacket that I'll have for the rest of my life. The level of craftsmanship is something I had never experienced in my entire life as an Armani and Boss suit wearer. Enough said!

In fact, I'm pretty sure that even selling my kidneys wouldn't do the trick. People lie when they say you only need one. You don't need any. They have machines for that. Anyways, Lulu Guinness is perfectly laid out; small, compact, quaint and helpful. The storefront is classically british. I was disappointed that the store clerk didn't have a british accent but she did bond with my girlfriend over mothers who have good taste.

I guess I can't really fault the business because the area we are in is very foreign. Most of the dialects you hear are Chinese and Taiwanese. English is a second language here.
