Hi! It's me 'Erman! From the title of this feature, you probably think that I went out and bought a circus. Well, I didn't! The Zoo is the name of the new boutique I opened in New York City this Past May. It's located at 243 East 60th Street (behind a shop called Abracadabra). I'd love you all to come and visit my brand new boutique, but right now I'd like to show you some of the clothes from The Zoo.

This is one of my favorite shirts. It's light violet with op art flowers. By the way ladies, - it makes a groovy blouse too! We have loads of wide, colorful ties - so it's difficult for me to make my choice.
|
How do you like this gold vinyl tie? It was designed by my partner and buddy Steve Lyons. In fact, Steve has designed a whole line of vinyl clothes exclusively for the Zoo!

This is my personal favorite of all of Steve's designs - an "astral" jumpsuit! Both the slacks and the turtleneck shirt are black and decorated with silver buttons.
|
Here I am looking just like a Christmas package - all wraped up in a clear vinyl jacket and a bow over me head! This really makes a great raincoat.
|
|
This is one of the display "cages" in the center of the boutique. I'm wearing a fantastic two-toned tan suit with a bright pink flowered shirt.
|
I feel a bit more conservative and less "flash" in this dark pin-striped suit with purple satin trim. (whatever will they think of next?!)
|
|
How about a satin brocade dinner jacket 'speciallydesigned for our "night on the town"? This particular jacket is black and red - and I must admit, I do feel elegant in it!
