The Selby Visits The Man Behind MAC

9_4_10_BenOspitalSFED43190
Todd Selby recently posted his visit with 
Ben Ospital the genius and co founder (with sister Chris)
of our beloved local institution:
Started back in 1980 in a tiny little shop on 
the funky side of Post Street, MAC, Ben and Chris 
(and their mom Jeri)
had a vision and passion that to this day has 
driven their store to national acclaim.

They have always supported and cultivated
newly emerging and local talent along with 
cutting edge designers while favoring
the concepts of Belgian and Japanese lines.
Their dedication has served them well, as their 
very loyal customers and fans can attest., as they
 now shop with plenty of room to move in the 
3,500 sq foot space in Hayes Valley.
 and check out the links on MAC.

Ch Ch Changes

He's booted longtime women's fashion head Julie Gilhart, he's "promoted" creative director Simon Doonan to a less central position within the company, and now newBarneys CEO Mark Lee has even switched the flagship's iconic red awnings.WWD reported this morning that the new black canopies will go better with the brand's black shopping bags, but we can't help but be reminded of a pirate unfurling the Jolly Roger—the message seems to be "There's a new guy sailing this ship."
Lee also plans to renovate the flagship's main floor, launch a new black and white ad campaign (look for it this Sunday in the Times Style section), and add a section about store development to the Barneys website. Also, in a move that's as shocking as the ouster of Gilhart, Lee plans to drop Barneys is dropping Prada bags and RTW from the chain. Barneys will continue to sell Prada menswear and women's shoes, but if you want that striped stole from the Rihanna video, you'll have to look elsewhere.
