Art. Design. Fashion.
I'm convinced that the current retail model is broken. Sales used to be a once in a while perk, not a fact of life. The internet, the recession and the enormous expense of luxury goods that some of us seem to think we magically deserve has turned sale season into a feeding frenzy.

When a Chelsea based New York family outgrew their two bedroom loft, they decided to purchase the identical one, just on top. (I have fantasies about doing this all the time!)
