133 5th Avenue NY | Michael Kors
Reflecting the change in the times, New York-based designer Michael Kors took over a retail spot in this Lower Fifth Avenue location in 2010 that was formerly rented by Italian apparel maker Benetton. This 2,500 sq. foot store has a solid representation of Kors’ ladies apparel line (which has gone from being an upscale apparel retailer to a lifestyle brand).
Like other designer brand stores, such as Armani Exchange, this store location’s main appeal is that it’s outside of the Soho shopping district, where mobs of tourists and local (mostly female) shoppers render that area a difficult shopping destination, and a challenge for those who value customer service.
