The opening of Uniqlo’s new store on Fifth Avenue may have been the big event last week with celeb appearances, posters all over the city, and ads in all the local papers. But we were more intrigued by the opening of C Wonder on Spring Street in Soho. With its lime lacquered front doors and its colorful merchandise, at first we thought we were in Oompa Loompa Land. But then its striking resemblance to all things Tory Burch jumped out at us as we watched the ads on the taxi TV network and on the sides of buses all over town. It’s no coincidence that Chris Burch is the name behind the brand. So who really is the brains behind the Burch kitsch? Here’s your weekly round-up… Oh, and Happy Halloween!
