Club Monaco opening at Nordstrom


Club Monaco - I never heard of it, but I'm sure its a known brand for Gen-Y, will be opening at Nordstrom Wing of Ala Moana Center this Friday. We've been hearing economic slowdown - recession, inflation, job loss... Under the cloud so gloomy, there are some new stores coming into Hawaii.

Per Wikipedia, Club Monaco had humble beginning in Toronto in 1985, grew over to North America and Asia, acquired by Polo Ralph Lauren in 1999. Fascinating! Club Monaco had stores in Japan but they all closed while ago. They may find another reason to come and shop!

*Photo exhibit "See the World in Black and White" opening 7/16 6:30pm, with 3 local photographer's art at display available for purchase.(partnership with Honolulu Academy of Art "ARTafterDARK")

Here's the YouTube - Famed fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh's footage of photo shoot of Club Monaco's black & white. I like B&W photography, Irving Penn being my favorite. Hope you enjoy it, too.
