    Prada at Barneys

    Before I started packing for the big weekend I stopped by Prada to see if there were any further reductions. Why do laundry and pack old clothing if you can pick up something new? Turns out that there will be no more reductions at Prada. As a matter of fact all Spring/Summer merchandise is being sent away Monday. To where, nobody knows. I always imagine it to be some sort of clothing heaven where racks of clothing peacefully rest for eternity. It’s more likely an outlet.

    As a mere formality I ran into Miu Miu too. The sales people were less assured of the supreme plan but Judith was forthcoming about Barneys having a great selection, which is highly reduced. Even on the Barneys site there are some great buys. This Prada double ring flat started off at $530 and is now 50% or $265. I’m almost sure that the gladiator look will only be bigger next Spring. Just beware when shopping online at Barneys. They frequently oversell their inventory and several days later cancel orders. Don’t be surprised if what you see is not what you get.

    PS Have a fun and safe 4th of July!

    New Neiman Marcus Markdowns

    I love this time of year. Everything you have browsed over for the past six months finally becomes affordable. Most of the stuff already tires me but there are always a few items that still make my heart pound. I consider it fate when those items are still around the store and in my size. It would be so wrong to doubt fate. That’s why July is the “i’ll-take-it” month.

    This week, fate will be brought to you by Neiman Marcus. The new sale starts July 10th but pre-sale is underway. The sale is an additional 40% off already reduced prices. Music to my ears…

    Zegna 60% Off

    I think we’ve been kind of shutting it down on the men’s side these days. I have to give you guys some props once in a while. Did some calling around today and found out that Ermenegildo Zegna reduced all their Spring/Summer merchandise to 60% off.

    Before I continue lets say it together: Er-men-E-geel-do Zen-ya. Altalia friends, please feel free to correct my transliteration.

    The sale started Friday and there are lots of great staples still available. This silk-cashmere v-neck sweater will be great for Fall. It started off at $425 but is now just $170. Evan at Saks the same sweater is $198. Basic shirts are normally $355 and are now on sale for $134. Gentlemen- get over to Zegna. Pronto!
