Nolita's The Good, The Bad & The Ugly wasn't a misnomer; the store had some amazing clothes, but also some pieces that I couldn't imagine anyone in their right mind wearing. Still, I've always respected fearlessness over good taste, and the store has avoided being a Vogue-inspired clone of all the other high-end boutiques in Manhattan. So, it is with a heavy heart that I announce that after 8 years The Good, The Bad & The Ugly is closing down.

From July 11-13, the store is going out in style with DJs, discounts, ice cream and free champagne. Don't worry though, store owner and designer Judi Rosen has hinted she has another project in the works.
