Editorial Review for Gamma Player – by Fred Schlatter
In Short
Deep, textured black ceilings and walls and matte slate floors add weight to this small space on Division. Bright spotlights illuminate wall racks, a center display and several mannequins. Ambient electronic music streams as shoppers peruse minimal, futuristic clothing in shades of black, white and gray. Sales associates offer scraps of knowledge about the little-known designers.
