Odin’s Den
No, it isn’t some obscure reference to the home of a norse god. Odin, the well-known boutique sporting a couple of Manhattan locations, is a bit of a hot spot for men’s fashions. Though I haven’t had a chance to swing by myself, it’s been recommended a number of times in conversation. Based on the reviews I’ve read, I won’t expect much in the way of service, though the selection is supposed to be pretty solid.
Spreading their reach a bit, the crew at Odin opened Den not long ago. Den is a 350 square foot adjunct to Odin’s East Village location featuring the work of a single designer for a limited period of time. Essentially a revolving mini-store for the up-and-coming designers that you want to know about. Unlike Odin, Den will show both men’s and women’s clothing, depending on the designer.
Den is currently showcasing the work of Common Projects, a relative newcomer to the footwear market. Keep an eye on Den’s site for their upcoming collaborations with Engineered Garments and Shipley & Halmos.
