Yes, it seems it's official: Commes Des Garçons is opening an NYC brick-and-mortar store. Or shall we say mega store. The space, a seven-story, 20,000-square-foot palace will house "Comme's various lines with a range of international designer brands for women and men," WWD reports. This announcement marks a year-long countdown towards the opening of the Gramercy Park(ish) location, set to welcome shoppers in December 2013. And, though it may be set in a residential neighborhood, we're certain it won't be difficult to find this massive mainstay — the "colonnaded, limestone" building used to be a learning space for Touro College. Let it all soak in, then start your 12-month countdown. This is huge. (WWD)
