That area is just amazing!!
There are stores dedicated just to beads, sequence and all sort of embelishments. I went into one with just silks...to die for. At another store I saw only fabrics for men shirts. Across the street there were Indian fabrics and at a very high end place I touched a $500.00 per yard brocade. A little further south, well, more that a little, in Soho, there is this clothing store called All Saints, and this is the window display. Ladies, please, no drooling on the keyboard allowed.
