"FacebookPinterest\n\nIt's hard to imagine that, up until now, the gents behind Dolce &amp;amp; Gabbana haven''t had a presence along New York's Fifth Avenue, that tony stretch of high-end shopping where grand temples of designer goods stand alongside old world cathedrals. It's actually that balance, of classicism and cutting edge, that's at the heart of the Italian brand's impressive new flagship store, as it brings together the various worlds (and categories) of Dolce &amp;amp; Gabbana goods under one roof.\n\nFacebookPinterest\n\nFacebookPinterest\n\nFacebookPinterest\n\nFacebookPinterest\n\nThe store's all glass facade makes an immediate impression as the enormous clear panels provide a view of the entire space, a terrarium-like feeling only emphasized by the faux boulders and gigantic cacti currently sitting alongside the mannequins display. On the main floor, a tease of menswear and a hearty helping of accessories sit inside handsome wood or glass displays, all surrounded by crisp white marble that makes you feel like your in a shoppable palazzo. But the store's true menswear home is located just below, in a series of wood-paneled rooms, each segmented by the products it houses. From jeans and tees to suiting and, finally, evening wear, progressing through the space feels like an education in gentlemanly dressing with pit stops along the way thanks to accessory eye candy like gold tone DG7 watches and foulard pattern skinny ties. The sheer breadth of the menswear, shoes, and accessories on display is impressive but what's more is how it all blends seamlessly together under those warm wood ceilings--so something like a screen-printed David Bowie tee makes perfect sense hanging a few feet from a burgundy silk dinner jacket. In a world where so many mega-stores banish menswear to the dark recesses of retail, it's refreshing (but not surprising) that the Dolce &amp;amp; Gabbana gents are giving guys equal billing.\n\nDolce &amp;amp; Gabbana is located at 717 Fifth Avenue in NYC.
