i went there today. i expected an aria and a Betony Vernon lookalike to greet me, but it really is just a classier (and much pricier!) fetish cove ...with Vernon's coveted "tools":

SANS

means without.
and is an "eco" line made by Lika Volkova. it was a part of Pratt's last exhibit, where it stood out as the most forward thinking in design and precept.
