The folks in the phone order department told him that as they prepare to open several new stores (in New York), they’ve shut down phone orders. A bummer, certainly… but the good news is that they also told him they’re planning on offering ecommerce as well. They wouldn’t give him a timeline, but word was they were expecting to open their huge US flagship store on 5th Ave in 2011, so, hopefully… soon?</p> </blockquote> <p>Chicago needs a fucking Uniqlo!!</p>http://blog.matthewmessmer.com/post/6093474309http://blog.matthewmessmer.com/post/6093474309Wed, 01 Jun 2011 22:05:56 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ll6y97VlML1qcr7i4o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ll6y97VlML1qcr7i4o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ll6y97VlML1qcr7i4o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ll6y97VlML1qcr7i4o4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ll6y97VlML1qcr7i4o5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ll6y97VlML1qcr7i4o6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ll6y97VlML1qcr7i4o7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ll6y97VlML1qcr7i4o8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Pictures from my exhibition, the View From Here.
