On and Poppin’

K2’s New York office has been seeing a multitude of pop up stores arising in the Lower East Side and East Village. Everything ranging from the infamous street artist Banksy, creating a pet shop made up of his stenciled creations to London’s “Wish You Were Here” retail hub.

Hoping on the indie train is Prada’s Parisian contingent. Sprawling across 570 sq meters and two floors is a new Prada pop up store, with a bridge-themed façade designed by architect Roberto Baciocchi. The mirrored interiors reflect a bohemian homage to Prada’s 1913 original Milan store and a ready-to-wear collection with a shelf life of only 5 months. We’ll see you in Paris !
