Diesel Opens Flagship Store in NYC
Filed under: Fashion, Best of the Season, Denim
Last week Diesel opened a new flagship "Planet" store on Fifth Avenue in New York City. The 20,000 square-foot location is spread out over over three floors, with over 700 different denim styles and washes available on site. Finally, a store that understands the meaning of "choice"!In addition to every conceivable flavor of jeans, you can also shop for Diesel bags, shoes, and fragrances, etch your initials on the inside waistband of your jeans with a laser, and check out your butt with "magic mirrors".
We're not sure if the mirrors are magic because they tell the truth, or because they make you look better than in real life -- either way, it sounds very Seinfeld!
To celebrate the store opening, Diesel held a series of dinner parties in the 5th Avenue window, which was decorated to look like a typical New York apartment. The range of diners was also typically New York, including members of the Giants football team, and club kids Richie Rich, Patrick McDonald and Kenny Kenny.
It's too bad they were all there on different nights, we would have loved to hear Richie Rich's thoughts on football!

I love clothing that has a distressed and vintage but still chic and edgy look. Diesel definatley has that. We the Free who also has a similar look just launched their flagship store too! It's located on Smith Street in Brooklyn. It's a lot smaller than the Diesel Flagship store but it still has a lot of these great looks. Also they only have one store on the East Coast so nobody else has the clothes.
I think their website is www.freepeople.com/wethefree
