• Outerwear for the inner Superman

  Kenneth Cole

  20 August 2003

  I've always thought of New York City as my "phone booth". It's the only place where I can step into another dimension, then reappear a different person, even if just for a weekend. In the late Fall of 1999 I was "stuck" in NYC with the wardrobe of a native Los Angelian. Our business trip was postponed and with time on my hands I needed a quick wardrobe update. Walking tirelessly around mid-Manhattan, Kenneth Cole caught my eye. When I walked into the store, it was as if I was standing inside my home closet away from home. KC wasn't just another retail outlet, the fashion forward styles, the sleek run of the outerwear, the dark villainous cuts of the shoes. I'd found my "phone booth"!
