Retail Watch: No. 8b Defines The New Lower East Side
July 3rd, 2009 | New York
Consistent with Janusiak and Beer's previous projects, the must-stop shop carries those hard to find, detailed garments that raise questions, evoke conversations and give the wearer a sense of independence and uniqueness. The duo sees the retail space as a way to experiment with and present some constant themes and ideas recurring in their own work—"concerns with distribution, collaboration, sustainability, digression and the creation of fluxuating communities," noted a press release.
In some ways, this latest store acts as a place of refuge, housing both the people and the projects that have had no immediate or obvious home. No. 8b is sure to become a prominent fixture in the ever more hip Lower East Side.
Shop address: 38 Orchard Street, New York, NY

I got back to New York on Sunday and braved the torrential downpour to satisfy my craving for Momofuku’s chicken ramen. It’s the best in town and the perfect Sunday afternoon comfort food. Sunday is also a good day to catch up on the TV shows you missed during the week. And while I don’t own a TV, I can always rely on my friend Chuck Amos to have reality shows and interesting documentaries cued upDecember 16th, 2009 - Jason's Dispatches
I was a little skeptical about the journey from LA to NYC to spend under 72 hours in St Barth. But it’s amazing what 2 1/2 days in a warm climate lulling away on a yacht can do for the soul.December 14th, 2009 - Jason's Dispatches
The flight from New York to St Maarten was a short and sweet 3½ hour flight on a private jet. This is the kind of airline travel that can really spoil you. After landing, we were hastily whisked away to a tender then to another boat that took us to the yacht docked at the port in St Barth. The 12-mile transport on the boat was a choppy ride with major swells that had a couple people in the party feeling a little queasy by the time we arrived in St Barth.December 11th, 2009 - Jason's Dispatches
I’ve come to terms with how busy this time of year gets. It’s good to see that big spending is back (at least in my circle) and it’s been fun to come up with all sorts of unusual presents for clients. Within the last few days, I’ve nipped up to Palo Alto to work with a client who just had a baby. Dressing becomes something entirely different when your breasts increase three sizes, you’re breastfeeding and six inches are added to your hips…. and you have formal events to attend. Dolce and Gabbana, not one of usual go-to was a godsend. They can make a woman look sexy at any size.December 11th, 2009 - Jason's Dispatches
II can normally manage my stress. I work for myself and set my own schedule and I’m a big believer that it’s not necessary to get rattled; it’ll all get done. This week though I have that pit in the stomach feeling where I don’t know if I can get it all done. I’m in thick of readying the site for a relaunch and also our new Trend Report, but it’s the tons of shopping I have to do that’s stressing me out. I have to shop for gifts for husbands to wives, wives to husbands, daughters to mothers, parents for babies. It’s hectic. I can’t write much this week but I can still share. My friend Kristina Dryza sent me these shots from the Hermes "Silk Caravan" located at the bottom of Tokyo Midtown that I think are pretty fab. Thanks Kristina.December 3rd, 2009
