Primtemps Loves New York my former hometown. They are celebrating the Big Apple with these clever window displays. Street artist Mr. Brainwash has made a colossal 4 metre King Kong hovering at the entrance to the store at Blvd. Haussmann and rue de Havre. Fifteen iconic New york designers including Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Diane Von Furstenberg, and Tory Burch have designed exclusive tee-shirts for the event. If you like New York street food, there's an authentic New York hot-dog cart outside the store and if you want New York's favorite desserts, Berko has made cupcakes and cheesecake.
Till October 10
