Gearing up for ICFF 2007. The majority of this week's coverage is devoted to contemporary design stores and the influence of Moss. We found this statement from Murray Moss quite telling: For the moment, Mr. Moss doesn’t appear very concerned about competitors, perhaps because he hasn’t heard of many of them. He wasn’t familiar with the Future Perfect, though he said that might be because he is “personally horrible with names.” Hmmm.
- Aspiring to the Throne looks at the growing number of contemporary design shops in the country. The story features Smallest Coolest Judge and Matter proprietor, Jamie Gray (who is opening a Manhattan Matter next week!)
- Design Store Slideshow. (pictured above is L.A.'s Twentieth.
- Design Store Timeline Slideshow. San Francisco's Friend (above) opened in 2003.
