Wait, isn't Vera Wang part of Hugo on the Avenue? What's going to happen to that?

Yup.. I'm assuming it will be closing along with it.
Too bad; the situation in Yorkville is looking pretty dire compared to the sky high hopes some of us had 2 years ago.

I'm not sure anyone is really 'shocked' by this news.
It's rather expected and not something to get overly concerned about in my opinion.
The high end mark has taken a hit and while the new is full of 'we're recovering' there's still a long way to go. I wouldn't be surprised if the high end market doesn't pick up till 2011 at the earliest.

I feel badly for all the brides who bought dresses for spring or summer 2010 if that were the case.
Is Hugo at Hazelton Lanes closing as well?

Well 101 Bloor St W is the building where the new Cole Haan went; they may have taken some space next door, but I haven't been there lately so can't say exact location....maybe someone can post a pic.

If this is going where I think it is (behind Cole Haan on St. Thomas) then it used to be a service entrance before the renos.

Rimowa is already there and has been open a month or so.
There is some 'cladding" on the exterior of the store that matches their suitcases. It's a nice touch and looks good. The store is really, really white.

Funny, because the Yorkville Ave. store has been locked out by the landlord for non-payment of rent of $45,000.

Sounds cool. Hopefully someone can get a picture of it.
Sounds like Riwowa is the "Rolls-Royce" of the luggage area. Are they a well-known, luxury brand? Pretty cool Toronto has only the second store in the North America.

What's with the Sun Life advertisements plastered over the windows of the former Noir space? I'm still hoping something major is going to move in...

Thanks Greg.
Very minimilastic in design in terms of the store. Luggage pieces look very strong, would travel very well (must work well for fragile items inside), and stylish. I hate to think what the price tags are.
