Christopher Lee Sauve
Where: Online only at http://www.christopherleesauve.com/
New York-based artist fashion impresario CHRISTOPHER LEE SAUVÉ is a momma’s boy. Whether he’s drawing inspiration from punk nuevo Brooklyn street kids, or his idol Andy Warhol, this Canadian-born designer always looks back to his mother for inspiration. “When I was a child, in the early 80’s, she would create her own over-sized, silk-screened, bold-graphic t-shirts,” recalls the artist from his Brooklyn studio, “she would cut and rip the neck and wear them as elegant evening dresses. It was revolutionary.”
Not content to wallow in her shadow, SAUVÉ recently burst onto the cultural landscape with his own line of t-shirts that have become controversial collector’s items after being embraced by THE NEW YORK TIMES, NEW YORK MAGAZINE, VOGUE, ELLE, PAPER MAGAZINE and PEREZ HILTON.
His current popularity began when rumors began to circulate the bloggosphere that ANNA WINTOUR was being replaced as editor of VOGUE. The now iconic t-shirt he created simply read: SAVE ANNA.
Currently, he is busy on a collection of hand painted t-shirts for his label CHRISTOPHER LEE SAUVÉ and his t-shirt collection is available at select retail stores in New York, Tokyo, London, Germany, Italy, France, Japan, and Seoul.
EVA New York
355A Bowery by E. 4th St, NY
Daily, noon-8pm

Located on the Bowery, Eva NY is the brainchild of Stephanie Pappas who curates a highly select group of cutting edge designers in her store. Definitely appealing to the downtown set sells avant-garde and emerging designers like Mandy Coon, Katie Gallagher and Henrik Vibskov, that are difficult if not impossible to find in more mainstream stores. There’s also a wide range of jewelry and accessories.
Allan & Suzi
Where: 237 Centre Street between Broome & Grand
Mon-Sat 12pm-7pm; Sun 12pm-6pm
For 16 years, Allan Pollack and Suzi Kandel have been the first name in the retro-clothing business. Originally on the Upper West Side they re-located downtown in Spring 2011. This store is a true fashion lovers dream and a true vintage store. You won’t find flannel shirts or cut off jean shorts or anything that’s old masquerading as vintage. Instead look at Versace gowns, Kelly bags and Lanvin platforms. I’ve read reviews that Allan can be “cranky”. I personally found both Allan and Suzi to be utterly delightful and can only imagine that any “crankiness” was the result of someone not handling the garments properly. While it’s not cheap, don’t be afraid of the price tags. They’ll let you know that many things are 70% or more off of the price listed. So if you find something you love maybe you can find a price that will match.
