West End Updates: Lane Bryant Open, Joe Fresh Temporarily Closed

Lane Bryant is back on 34th Street just west of Seventh Avenue, and she's looking lovely.

Pretty store, yes? There's even a mezzanine level. There have been a ton of changes on this block recently. Walk west from  Lane Bryant and you'll see the newly opened Cohen's Fashion Optical and the future home of a sports footwear store relocated Footaction, soon to open. Walk east and you've got Party City, Payless, a currently shuttered Joe Fresh, and DSW. Wait, what? Joe Fresh is closed?

Don't panic, it's reopening soon. Remember, Joe Fresh was one of the pioneers of the new west end of 34th Street with a pop-up back in late 2011. Now that the pop-up is permanent, it looks like Joe Fresh 34th Street is getting a makeover. Look for the store to reopen mid-June.

DSW 34th Street Opening and "A Design Event"

Today Sarah covers DSW's "A Design Event" and is happy to report that the 34th Street DSW is opening at 34th Street and Seventh Avenue on March 8th, 2012. Hooray!

Impressive selection from "A Design Event"

I had a great time attending "A Design Event" at the new H.H. Brown showroom near Times Square Wednesday night.  The event was sponsored by DSW with FIT to launch a design competition in celebration of new DSW store openings in New York City. The winning design will be produced and sold at DSW's New York City stores and online.

There was no shortage of inspiration in the 21,000-square foot show room filled to the brim with shoes. My favorite? The velvet bootie with wide ribbon laces below: scrumptious!

News, Brooms, and Shoes

Can a broom and work gloves be sexy?

Click for full effect.
That leopard print broom gets pretty close. If you can make a wall of cleaning products look this good, you might just get me to actually clean my apartment. Nice merchandising, Duane Reade.

I was just going to talk brooms today, but then this story hit the New York Post: DSW is coming to 34th Street on the block between 7th and 8th that's now primed for new retail. Duane Reade, too, is bringing more sexy broom to 34th Street with a new 12,000 square foot store in the same box (DSW will have 35,000 square feet on four floors). In the near future, expect to hear more scintillating retail news about this 34th Street block.
