Many of us working in the indie fashion industry are trembling in our boots at the current economic crisis. (Are we all tired of hearing those words yet?) However, as customer shopping habits change, there is space for creativity in the retail world. One example is Studio 5in1. Founded by Norman Rabinovich, 5in1 is a collaborative studio / retail space that is run by eight designers.

The store is open Friday to Sunday. Each weekend, a different member of the collective works and curates the space. How the space is used is up to on duty designer. Current members include Helena Fredriksson, Mary Meyer, Rebecka Froberg, ULURU and Study NY.

Located in Williamsburg, 5in1 should definitely be on your shopping destination list this summer if you're planning on being in NYC.
