Smylonylon was the first vintage store in the United States to sell (what is now called dead stock)from the 60's and 70's.Smylonylon was also the first in many areas.The compilation tapes made by Chris Brick and Alex Gloor reintroduced to the world artist such as Lee Hazelwood and Bridget Bardot as well as hundreds of others musicians from the world of Italio-disco and electro..Smylonylon influenced designers such as Miuccia Prada,Tom Ford,Anna Sui,Karl Lagerfeld ,Jean Paul Gaultier Betsey Johnson,Tommy Hilfiger,Ralph Lauren.They all personally shopped in the store and based many pieces in their collections on the items found in Smylonylon.Everyone from Lisa Marie Presley to Cloe Sevigny shopped in Smylonylon.All New York actors,models and musicians shopped In Smylonylon and her sister store Arkle and Sparkle(later named Center for the Dull).Tim Burton bought clothes for Austin Powers from Smylonylon.The theme song for the first Austin Powers film was taken from one of the Smlyonylon compilations.The list goes on and one and sadly is not very wel documented on the internetl.There were several films made in Smylonylon and Arkle and Sparkle maybe someone out there could find them! Not many people like to give credit were credit is due and would like to pretend they made creative discoveries on their own when actually Smylonylon and Center for the Dull were two stores in New York in the 90's that influenced everyone and everything!!!
