CBGB Turned… Fashion Boutique?

Tue, 30 Oct 2007 16:42:33 +0000

Yeah, I know… you saw the title of this post and probably went “HUH” just like I did.

It’s true, though – the legendary punk rock venue CBGB, which closed its doors a year ago, will reopen as a high-end fashion boutique.

Weird but true. I can’t say I understand it myself, but designer John Varvatos tentatively plans to open the boutique next March.

What are your thoughts? I’m a little… weirded out by the fact that a class punk rock venue will reopen as, of all things, a fashion store – but what about you?

Until next time, stay true.
