Description
Albertine has lots of hand-made one-of-a-kind fashions by young designers. "I like things that are a little bit quirky; I like to mix," says Albertine's owner, who plans to introduce fresh stock every few weeks. The day we visit, the merchandise includes a dress that does double duty as a top by employing those drawstring ribbons seen everywhere this season, from the $10 stores on Broadway to the runways of Junya Watanabe. A white mini with black ribbons doubles as a tube top; an all-black version is either a baby-doll dress or a long skirt. ($168, but it
is
two for the price of one.)
