Profile

In a nod to his mentor Ralph Lauren, the 3,500-square-foot hip-hop domain is replete with rich ebony floors, pony-skin furniture, silver picture frames, weighty coffee-table books, and goat-fur throws essential to fine living. For the Diddy remix, there are Jonathan Adler ceramics. It would all be quite excessive if it weren’t for the bread-and-butter merchandise that fills the store: logo-emblazoned baseball caps, T-shirts (the latest have monograms in the style of YSL’s), and velour warm-up suits, all displayed under flat-screen TVs looping Diddy’s music videos. He may be selling aspiration, but he also knows to take care of the bottom line.

I recently visited the Sean John store on 5th Avenue and 41st street. From the sleepy looking gentlemen (security)leaning against the wall at the entrance to the cramped, boring selection of clothing, to not one salesperson asking if they could help, I was surprised because I am a big fan of Mr. Combs and was expecting a lot more polish and vigor which is something he is seems to have mastered in other areas. Not to say that I was looking for a sideshow of any sort, just a little more of Mr. Combs touch. The store seemed extremely stuffy and generic. Mr. Combs, you should give the store a surprise visit one day to see for yourself.
