FRIDAY
JANUARY 16, 2009 |
When
One Door Closes... |
|
|
|
New
year, new faces, spaces and places. Out
with the old and in with the new. Goodbye
bad habits, hello virtuous gym-going.
Ahem.
|
|
And
so, on the one hand we bid farewell to
Flash, which prepares to pop Jonny Woo
back in his box, cart its cabaret back
to storage, and close its doors for good,
leaving a trail of Will Broome crockery
and Giles Deacon chandeliers in its wake.
The whole set-up, however, will be on
sale on Monday, with glassware going for
a quid and everything from furniture to
wine-coolers up for grabs.
Meanwhile, arriving in a flourish of
Japanese fan mayhem this Saturday, NIGO
and Jun Takahashi of cult labels A Bathing
Ape & Undercover, are launching Nowhere
in the Dover Street Market basement. Now
that the London BAPE store has closed
down, this replica of the pair's
1993 Harajuku location will be the only
place to find their stuff, alongside new,
exclusive products and re-editions of
ultra-rare LAST ORGY 2 pieces -
the first collection the two made together.

If
you can't wait for tomorrow,
head down tonight and have a copy
of the 15th Anniversary Book signed
by NIGO himself. But catch it while
you can: what goes up, must surely
come down.

Market - Friday Jan 16
