I love to see collections of things unified by a common element. In this case, a collection of window display props from the Ralph Lauren shop in the West Village sitting on the sidewalk, waiting for their visual merchandiser to lay them out in the window. There is something visually calming about the cohesiveness of a collection that has a subordinating element… Everything white. Or lets say a collection of religious icons, varying styles and decades, grouped together, because they all represent the same idea. I’ve never been to a place in NYC that I felt like I would love to live in, more than the West Village, it’s quiet, pretty, quaint, and cool. The only thing (aside from the atrocious rent) is the neighborhood is not exactly a grid so I always find myself cursing at my map, lost, but still, it’s a really nice neighborhood.
