International lifestyle brand, Esprit launched it’s New York Flagship, the largest store in North America and second largest in the world on historic 34th street with a grand celebration. I arrived promptly at 7pm to an extremely long line
But what do you expect, we New Yorkers love to shop (and drink). The store measures nearly 18,000 gross square feet. “The remarkable three floor store with glass staircase carries men’s and women’s clothing and accessories, created by Esprit’s international team of designers. This will be Esprit’s fifth store in Manhattan, along with Rockefeller Center, Flatiron, Soho and TimeWarner.”
A few celebrities joined the boisterous crowd in celebrating ths event and to listen to Macy Gray sing her new single. Celebrity attendees included Macy Gray, Robert Verdi, Emmy Romsum (I missed her but saw her wandering throughout the event), Jennifer Love Hewitt (missed her too and never saw her), Erin Lucas from The City, etc.. We were to be treated to a private performance by Grammy-award winning artist, Macy Gray, who will perform her yet-to-be released new single, “Beauty in the World.” The single is part of Gray’s new album being released in May – her first new album in more than three years. Macy Gray was introduced by John Gunn, President of the Americas at Esprit, who also gave a short speech
