A line in Jean Snow’s recent report for Gridskipper made us think about this ’secret’ trend we’ve been monitoring. In his report on the Center for Cosmic Wonder in Tokyo, not only is the store hard to find but once you get there, all the clothes are in separate closets. Jean says:
All the clothes are hidden behind panels that you have to open yourself, sort of like checking out a friend’s closet.
The story caused us to remember the men’s store of the boutique chain L’Elaireur in Paris. The majority of the store is obscured by a glazed glass door that only moves open when its sensors detect you walking towards it. Meanwhile though – the staff were very friendly and we were told that they were briefed to find out as much about the customers as they possibly can – for the next time they came in.

This experience would suck. Imagine going to a grocery store to buy bread and you have to wait for each shelf to open to see if it’s something you’re interested in.
I would love a clothing store that I could punch in my size and it would display clothes that match my size.
