The upscale fashion brand that sells retro dresses, shoes and accessories is closing its outpost in the Avalon Bowery Place complex at East First Street.
The store is expected to wrap it up next Monday... or possibly a few days after that, according to an email to customers that an EVG reader forwarded to us.
The Las Vegas-based chain (it launched at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino) with a dozen locations in the United States (and one in Toronto) started its life on the Bowery in late 2012 as Bettie Page Clothing. (A
lawsuit took care of the licensing rights.)
This marks the third high-end store in several blocks here on the Bowery to close... Patricia Fields
recently announced that she is closing her Bowery storefront,
telling the Times that at age 74, she is "no longer interested in devoting the time necessary to operating this place." In addition,
Environment Furniture is shutting down its retail space two blocks to the north on the Bowery.
