Chelsea and The Meatpacking District

Chelsea is a neighbourhood on the West Side of Manhattan in New York City. The neighbourhood is mainly residential and the many retail businesses situated here reflect the ethnic and social diversity of the population.

The western part of Chelsea has become a centre of the New York art world, with many art galleries located in both new buildings and rehabilitated warehouses. This is definitely an area that I would like to visit.


This is an image taken at Chelsea Market, which is not only famous for it's food, but can also be a place to pick up designer clothing at affordable prices. If I get a chance this is definitely a place I want to check out.

Balenciaga:

After liking Balenciaga clothes for a while and having seen some images of the store here in Chelsea, I am intrigued to take a look for myself. I like the unfinished look of the store and the simplicity it creates.

The Family Jewels:

This is a cute and quirky little vintage shop, selling both clothes and accessories. There might even be the opportunity to pick up some vintage designer clothing so definitley worth a look.


The Meatpacking District is again a neighbourhood in the borough of Manhattan and has been described by New York magazine as "New York's most fashionable neighbourhood". This is because since the 1990s the Meatpacking district has gone through a transformation and is now home to high end boutiques.


Alexander McQueen:

After years of admiring Alexander McQueens's clothing, if there is only one shop I go in when I'm in New York it will be this one.

Moschino:

If I get the chance to, Moschino is another store that I would like to visit whilst in the Meatpacking District. They often have quirky window displays and so it will be interesting to see what they are displaying this season.



Jeffrey:

This is a mini department store, a bit like the Meatpacking District's answer to Barney's. The store has a collection of the seasons most fashionable runway styles all set to the sounds of an  in-house DJ. This department store will be interesting to visit in order to compare it to the similar style stores back in Britain.
