Fashion Victim

"Fuck NYU! It's the rape of the landscape! That's what NYU is doing to the East Village." It's 11 o'clock in the morning, a jackhammer is pounding in the background, and Michael Gallagher is having a conniption fit. The owner of Gallagher Paper Collectibles at 126 East 12th Street between Third and Fourth avenues, Gallagher is the keeper of a sacred institution legendary among fashion types for its awe-inspiring collection of periodicals, which range from the delectable if obvious—a hundred or so years worth of Vogues and Harper Bazaars—to the obscure and highly covetable—mid-century editions of Flaunt and Flair, to name but two legendary titles.

Everyone from Anna Sui to Marc Jacobs to Donna Karan buys from Gallagher. In fact, you could argue that his stacks provide the "inspiration" (otherwise known as shameless theft) for so many of the retro looks prancing down runways every season.

Now, NYU is putting up a 26-story dorm next to Gallagher's store. Construction has closed the sidewalk on his side of the street, which Gallagher claims greatly impedes access to a door in the pavement that leads down a metal staircase to his lair, an underground warren of low-ceiling, militantly unrenovated rooms in the basement of a residential building. Gallagher believes finicky fashionistas—Europeans who arrive by limousine; swells afraid they'll get their Hedi Slimane pants cuffs dusty on the sooty street—won't darken his door until the concrete stops pouring, which he estimates will take at least another year. (In truth, it's a little hard to imagine these prissy types clamoring down the rickety stairs even when there's no construction to contend with.)

200 employees laid off, three magazines shut.

aced with a precipitous category-wide decline in technology print advertising and massive change in audience information consumption, CMP Technology announced this morning that it is dramatically restructuring to focus on digital media, and in the process is laying off 200 people and closing three magazines.

“We found last year for the first time, our non-print revenues outstripped our print revenues,” CEO Steve Weitzner said. “This year that trend is continuing and the gap is actually growing. We want to realign internal resources around these growth areas and look at opportunities in the marketplace and really go after them.”

Consequently, Weitzner said, the company is putting its online businesses “at the center of everything we do and changing how we do print.”
