Remembering A&F magical stores, despite all their allegation issues, I couldn’t help but feeling the joy of youth exuberance while walking to their stores greeted by topless hot guys, the smell of youth and FIERCE signature perfume all over the stores, and the extremely loud music and dark ambience, it’s almost like you dive in to another world... I admire their design at that time..nowadays A&F branding has changed totally and I missed that 90s and early 2000s. Oh well.. change is inevitable, hope for the best and make positive impact for the world. There’s always lesson to learn in every season.  Watch the latest documentary of rise of A&F at Netflix.

Made a mad dash to my humble studio yesterday upstate before New York closed.
