I
don’t buy the shopping online thing. Shopping is an in-person experience for me. I guess that makes me a dinosaur. When I was a boy, Mr. Ryan at Brooks Brothers on Madison Avenue would suit
me up for school and Mr. Muldoon at Best & Co. on Fifth Avenue would ensure my feet were properly shod. Just the other month I walked the two blocks from the office to The Brothers (family code for BB, more code) to buy some shirts. A saleswoman approached. “Hi, I’m Bernadette. Can I help?” You could have knocked me over with a feather: I was in a time machine. Sure, in days gone by, she would have introduced herself as Miss Bernadette or Mrs. Married Name. Still, the familiarity felt right. Bernadette measured my neck, found three 100 percent cotton classic button-downs in my size, exchanged pleasantries and sent me on my way. Smiling. When was the last time a human hand reached out from your computer screen and a voice said, “Here, let me make sure that this is perfect in every way for you”? Brick-and-mortar apparel stores today have installed all manner of bells and whistles to lure customers away from their computers. Coffee bars, TVs, basketball courts, you name it. But when did stores not seek to turn shopping into an adventure? I remember Abercrombie & Fitch—no, not the Abercrombie & Fitch you probably know, but the original (now defunct) Abercrombie & Fitch—family code: Aber’s—that used to be on the northwest corner of Madison Avenue and 45th Street, one block up from The Brothers. Sandwiched between a golf driving range on the roof and a shooting gallery in the basement were floor upon floor of clothes for the country. But Aber’s main floor held my interest as a kid: It was like a playroom, filled with games, wooden Indian clubs, bowling pins, dartboards and leather hassocks shaped like rhinoceroses that had to be straddled. I’ve had my duck boots from Aber’s since I was a teen. I wear them every winter, replace the laces when they wear out, but will never throw away the boots. Never. Quality lasts. Obviously, I am not a fashionista, but I thoroughly enjoyed putting this issue together. When I showed Brian Scott Lipton, who wrote the shopping feature

ALWAYS
IN IN FASHION
NEW YORK BY BRIAN SCOTT LIPTON
NO MATTER THE season, one of the most exciting parts of any visit to New York is the chance to stop into the city’s unparalleled clothing stores, from Madison Avenue to Midtown, SoHo and beyond. But fall is a particularly exciting time to be a shopper (or browser) here, as the latest fashions are on display, dazzling us with their color, craftsmanship and creativity. Here are some of our favorite places that will allow you the opportunity to not just look like a New Yorker, but look spectacular wherever you are.

BERGDORF GOODMAN Located in one of NYC’s most ultra-elegant Beaux Arts buildings, this multifloor emporium for women’s fashion is a must-do destination, even if you just want to gape at the always gorgeously decorated windows or simply take in its rarefied atmosphere. Most of the clothes and accessories on display are from such worldfamous brands as Gucci, Chanel and Van Cleef & Arpels, but the store also houses lesser-known if equally beautiful brands, such as The Danes.

The Danes at Bergdorf Goodman
True, just about everything here boasts the kind of prices that if you have to ask, you possibly can’t afford it (much like its sister store Neiman Marcus in Hudson Yards). But those consumers with big budgets—or big dreams—will discover items of beauty that demand to be tried on, if not purchased. | 754 Fifth Ave., 212.753.7300. bergdorfgoodman.com
DOVER STREET MARKET This sprawling eight-floor showplace showcases some of the most fashion-forward looks for both men and women to be found anywhere in the Big Apple. Come by and check out the latest creations (and they are indeed creative) by such original thinkers as Raf Simons, Thom Browne and Junya Watanabe; the latest products from must-have brands like streetwear giant Supreme; and the many lines of the groundbreaking Japanese label Comme des Garçons and its esteemed designer, Rei Kawakubo. Dover Street isn’t a market in the usual sense; it’s an education and a shopping experience. | 160 Lexington Ave., 646.837.7750. doverstreetmarket.com
FORTY FIVE TEN The first New York outpost of the celebrated Dallas-based retailer is actually four mini-shops laid out over 16,000 square feet on the fifth floor of the Shops at Hudson Yards, with each one dedicated to a particular category of fashion and design. Women can find a wide selection of up-to-the-minute looks from such celebrated names as Dries Van Noten, Rodarte, Marc Jacobs and Jacquemus, while men can choose from a curated group of intriguing options by Acne Studios, Sacai, Rick Owens and Officine Générale. At Forty Five Ten, there’s always a 100 percent chance you’ll see something you can’t live without. | 20 Hudson Yards, 917.970.4510. fortyfiveten.com
JAY KOS The incredible menswear on display is just part of the attraction of visiting the designer’s eponymous boutique in NoLIta, since you’ll never know which celebrity might just pop in, from rock icon Stevie Nicks to “Moulin Rouge! The Musical” star Sahr Nguajah. But the true star is always Kos’ magnificent creations, which feature explosions of color—this is not the place for “men in black”—and the use of truly high-end materials, including handcrafted leathers, vintage silk and more. It’s a standout shop for standout looks. | 293 Mott St., 212.319.2770. jaykos.com
JEFFREY NEW YORK Twenty years after it almost single-handedly transformed the Meatpacking District into a major tourist/shopping destination, Jeffrey remains a favorite haunt of visitors and locals alike, thanks in large part to its legendary friendly service and extensive selection of goods (for both genders) that lean heavily on designer names such as Prada and Saint Laurent. Without question, Jeffrey is a name to remember when you’re seeking something special to wear. | 449 W. 14th St., 212.206.1272. jeffreyusa.com

NORDSTROM True, the Seattle-based retailer has locations in many cities, but its year-old men’s flagship in Manhattan is on a whole new level (or multilevels to be exact). This 47,000-square-foot store not only carries apparel brands of all stripes—from Ted Baker to Canali to Calvin Klein—but also has special areas designated for Christian Louboutin shoes, Levi’s Authorized Vintage, and Nike sportswear and sneakers.

It can be disconcertingly easy to pass by this unusual TriBeCa shop, but stop in the name of fashion! Why? Because this minimalist-looking store carries many lines from all over the globe that you can’t find elsewhere, including Chimala and Engineered Garments. And make sure to go downstairs, where you can find a beautiful array of bags and small leather goods from Rhode Island-based Lotuff, all of which will quickly be added to your must-buy list. | 180 Duane St., 212.226.5506. 180thestore.com
PAUL STUART This Madison Avenue mainstay recently underwent a major renovation (including the addition of a women’s section) but its core commitment to classic styling, first-rate fabrics (love the cashmere socks!) and superb service have never changed. Creative director Ralph Auriemma has added magnificently modern styling and tempting textures to the company’s high-end Phineas Cole collection; its customLab provides a new take on the madeto-measure experience; and we could lounge around all day in the sleepwear and robes from its new “Made on Madison” line. | Madison Ave., at E. 45th St., 800.678.8278. paulstuart.com
10 CORSO COMO The South Street Seaport is home to the only American branch of the famed Milanese department store, a must-go-to for European and visiting fashionistas. While it can require some searching to find the perfect outfit, the hunt is worth it; no other store has such a brilliantly chosen selection of clothing for women and men by Marni, Alaïa, Balenciaga, Martin Margiela and more—not to mention its beautiful in-house line. Ciao bella, indeed. | 1 Fulton St., 212.265.9500. 10corsocomo.nyc

JOSEPH ABBOUD MY NEW YORK
FROM CHANGING leaves in Central Park to outdoor fairs serving warm cider to the spirit of joy and togetherness that fall inevitably brings, nothing beats spending time in the city as the air begins to crisp and the holiday season gets into full swing. In fact, it can be hard to navigate all the happenings the city has to offer. Sometimes you want to relax, shop or stroll at places with a little character. Here are some of my favorite places, where you can take in the sights and sounds of NYC now and in the months to come.
This quaint fragrance shop tucked away on a quiet street in NoLIta carries its own signature brand of scented candles, diffusers and incense. There are even candle busts of historical figures, which is only fitting since the company was the provider of beeswax candles to the royal court of Louis XIV as well as most of the great churches of France. I love taking in all the scents before settling on a candle (or three) to enjoy on chilly nights. | 248 Elizabeth St., 212.203.0453. trudon.com

Lafayette
Spending my college years in Paris, I developed an affinity for all things Parisian: design, culture and, of course, culinary. So it’s no surprise I adore this NoHo favorite, which exudes old-world Parisian stylings with modern-day flair, making it a wonderful restaurant for dinner after a brisk evening stroll. Chef Andrew Carmellini’s dry-aged duck amandine or striped bass served with cauliflower and a bracing romesco sauce are my must-have comfort foods on fall evenings. | 380 Lafayette St., 212.533.3000. lafayetteny.com

Restoration Hardware
Last year saw the unveiling of this interior design showplace’s 90,000-square-foot flagship store spread across an impressive six floors in the heart of the Meatpacking District. Architectural aficionados, those with a love of quality design or consumers simply seeking new ideas for the home could easily spend a day here and not get tired of being awed by the store’s wide range of offerings, as well as the stunning layouts in which they are presented. (Luckily, there’s even a rooftop restaurant in which you can sate your palate or quench your thirst.) | 9 Ninth Ave., 212.217.2210. restorationhardware.com
Tea & Sympathy
My favorite place to unwind in the city with friends or family is this quaint West Village café. The cuisine is classic British, ranging from a traditional English breakfast to Yorkshire pudding. If you have time, stop in for afternoon tea, with its multitiered selection of scones and other baked goods. Morning, noon or night, the selection of teas is splendid; tea is the perfect drink to stave off a bit of the autumn chill. | 108 Greenwich Ave., 212.807.8329. teaandsympathy.com
Bryant Park
This urban oasis is a perfect place in which to sit and contemplate life, whether by the fountain, on the terrace or near the entrance to the New York Public Library. I particularly enjoy strolling among the Holiday Shops at Bryant Park once they open in late October. This European-inspired marketplace allows an eclectic mix of artisans from all over the world to display their unusual wares in a beautiful open-air environment. Those looking for a unique gift for that special someone have a great chance of finding it here. | 42nd St. & Sixth Ave. bryantpark.org

Frank Lloyd Wright’s revolutionary Guggenheim Museum building turns 60 By Terry Trucco
YOU COULD SAY 1959 was an eventful year. Alaska and Hawaii joined the union as newly minted states. NASA announced its first team of astronauts. And on Oct. 21, the spiraling concrete building Frank Lloyd Wright designed for the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum opened to the public. As visitors in furs and hats flocked through the doors, the Guggenheim was adjusting to its instant status as a lightning rod for controversy. After all, not a museum in the world—or building, for that matter—looked remotely like the imposing alien sculpture Wright planted on Fifth Avenue. The reactions of shock and puzzlement were immediate, as were nicknames like the Inverted Cupcake, the Washing Machine and, to paraphrase the New York Mirror, the Joyous Monstrosity. The art world railed at the rotunda’s unorthodox galleries with gently sloping walls, individual bays, terrazzo ramps and not a right angle in sight. “A war between architecture and painting in which both come out sadly maimed,” opined New York Times art critic John Canaday, And the experience of essaying six spiraling ramps with a three-degree slope? Like “slither[ing] up the ramp, one hip higher than the other,” to quote a disgruntled newspaper reporter. Yet no less an authority than architect Philip Johnson proclaimed the museum to be “Mr. Wright’s greatest building. New York’s greatest building.” IN NEW YORK | SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 2019 | INNEWYORK.COM

And if attendance was a gauge, Wright’s singular sensation was reeling in crowds. A 1960 Gallup poll found that 53 percent of museumgoers came for the architecture and the art, 38 percent for the architecture alone and just 5 percent for the art, a disservice to the Guggenheim’s fine collection but a hearty endorsement of the legendary architect’s final masterstroke (Wright died at the age of 91, six months before the museum opened). As befits “an explosion on Fifth Avenue,” as the New York Times once described it, the Guggenheim did not have an easy birth. It began in 1943 with a letter from Hilla Rebay, art advisor to Solomon Guggenheim, asking Wright if he would build “a temple of the spirit” to facilitate a new way of looking at non-objective painting. Wright pounced. He had never designed an art museum. Stranger still, he had never received a commission for a building in Manhattan, perhaps because his architectural style favoring organic shapes, nature settings and low, horizontal buildings was at odds with the blunt International Style towers that dominated the New York City skyline. Over the next 16 years, Wright’s museum went through at least six sets of plans, delays forced by war and financial constraints, skirmishes with the city over building codes and difficulties in choosing a site (properties in Midtown Manhattan and Riverdale in the Bronx lost out to a quiet Upper East Side block, home to a girl’s school and residential buildings, across from Central Park). The design also met with objections, notably from a group of 21 prominent artists, including Milton Avery, Willem de Kooning, Philip Guston and Robert Motherwell, who claimed Wright’s nautilusshaped building was inhospitable to their art. No matter. Construction commenced in 1956, treating onlookers to the startling sight of workers laboring atop a steadily growing circle of wood and steel. As one worker explained to The New Yorker, “The way I figure it is that this is the screwiest project I ever got tied up in. The whole joint goes round and round and round and where it comes out nobody knows.” Wright, ever the astute promoter, requested that construction be documented, resulting in a collection of breathtaking black-and-white photographs. Which brings us back to 1959. Wright did not get every feature he wanted for his building, including a glass elevator and a red marble facade. But as architectural historian Joseph M. Siry writes in “The Guggenheim, Frank Lloyd Wright and the Making of the Modern Museum,” Wright realized “the essential idea of spatial and structural continuity in the main gallery’s ‘grand ramp,’ as he called it.” He transformed reinforced concrete, a homely material used primarily at the time for parking garages and automobile buildings, into an element of beauty and a means to a “sculpturally free architecture,” to quote Siry. And he saw writ large his concept for an inverted ziggurat, a favorite ancient shape he flipped onto its head to create the illusion of upward
Above: Sunlight pours through the Guggenheim’s skylight, or “oculus”—58 feet across and 96 feet above the floor—in keeping with Frank Lloyd Wright’s belief that art is best viewed in natural light. Opposite page, top: Likened to a corkscrew, an inverted oatmeal dish and a hot cross bun by naysayers upon its opening, the cylindrical structure on Fifth Avenue cost $3 million to build, a not insignificant sum in 1959. Opposite page, bottom: Looking down from near the top of the museum’s quarter-mile-long ramp in the rotunda is a simultaneously dizzying and exhilarating experience.
growth and “pure optimism,” as the architect put it. Wright also invented a structure that changed the way museumgoers experience art. With the Guggenheim’s soaring atrium crowned by a skylight and vista points showcasing art across the building as well as directly in front of you, he devised a flexible space brimming with possibilities for unimagined encounters and undreamed of exhibitions. It was as if he’d received advance word that Minimalism and Post-Minimalism were on the way, shifting art from isolated modernist objects to works designed to engage with their surroundings. His socially oriented setting offered a preview of the lively gathering places museums would become. It’s not entirely clear when the Guggenheim morphed from a “joyous monstrosity” into a timeless (and beloved) modern icon, as essential to New York as the Empire State Building and the Brooklyn Bridge. In his book “Wright and New York: The Making of America’s Architect,” Anthony Alofsin traces the shift to the 1980s, when postmodernism, “with its yearning for comfort, tradition and even ornament,” muscled past the International Style, an esthetic Wright rejected as vapid, nonfunctional and sterile. What is clear is that the Guggenheim, a recent addition to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites, is looking good at 60. If you visit, treat yourself to seeing it as Wright intended back when he expected no more than 350 visitors at once. Take the snug red elevator or the zigzagging stairs to the top and walk down. Gaze up at the skylight, revel in the cantilevered ramps, admire the art and glory in the vast, column-free space. Maybe you’ll feel a bit dizzy as you descend. Maybe you’ll just get a thrill. And why not? You’re standing in the most important piece of art in the museum’s collection, as a former Guggenheim chairman of the board wisely observed.
