Let me tell you a story about how top-end menswear retail transformed over the last hundred years. 🧵
Fiorinamarietta on Threads writes: "The death of department stores as an EXPERIENCE needs to be studied. You used to be able to buy a dress, have lunch, get your hair done, smell every perfume in existence and leave carrying beautifully wrapped boxes. Shopping used to be an event."

If, like me, you grew up in the 80s, you likely had to deal with bullies. It was a pro-bully sort of time; majestic herds of bullies roamed our nation’s proud cafeterias and schoolyards. This is probably true of any era. Each era has been far too kind to bullies. www.the-reframe.com/soon-you-too...
