Highsnobiety's "Best Retail Concepts of 2014"

As someone with experience in the retail field, it has been my dream to open up my own retail space.  Highsnobiety recently put together a list of the top retail concepts of 2014, and let me tell you it truly is a unique and accomplished list of retailers.  As I have been working on my own business plan, it is interesting to see the way that these different businesses have worked in order to create unique and interesting ways of presenting their product to the consumer, all while creating atmosphere and aesthetic that is unique, individual, and interactive in many ways.  Take a look at the full list on highsnobiety.com.

Saint Laurent without Yves?

I saw an interesting article on Highsnobiety regarding the fashion house formerly known as Yves Saint Laurent pulling their product from Paris retailer Colette.  It seems Colette have the nerve to sell an item that had the phrase "Ain't Laurent Without Yves" across the chest.  It's interesting because apparently Saint Laurent asked Colette to remove the item from their website, but the retailer continued to sell the shirts in store.  Check out the article here Hedi Slimane and Saint Laurent Sever ties with Colette
