BLESS is re-opening their Berlin retailer location, but everything is a little different now – not only the location, but the entire concept. With pop-up stores and temporary outlets opening left and right, it is nice seeing the label taking it to the next level and once again showing some innovation in the retail space.

“BLESS Shop Berlin, relocated and renewed, now floats like a private island, three floors up and hidden away in a typical residential street of East Berlin.

Existing as the home of the first BLESS collector, the space is filled with BLESS products, that over time, grew and took shape as the perfect collection to live in and with.

This apartment ambience extends the concept of welcome. As a visit to BLESS is an energy intense investment (there are three floors to climb) this energy is rewarded with intimacy.”

People will be living inside the space the entire time, with French artist Cyril Duval being the first one.

BLESS Shop Berlin
Oderbergerstrasse 60
10435 Berlin
Prenzlauer Berg
Backhouse, 3rd floor

The store officially opens its doors tomorrow, January 28th, 2011. You can only visit by appoint, from Thursday to Saturday, noon-midnight, “…with possible happy exceptions and bed&breakfast in the future.”

Now take a look at the space after the jump.

Union was established in 1989 at 172 Spring Street. The store was the first of its kind and pioneered a focus on what is now labeled “Streetwear”. In 2007, the shop moved to a larger location at 176 Spring Street. For 20 years, Union actively worked with a small selection of premier brands from around the world which catered to their view of contemporary menswear. Today, Union NYC closes their doors. Truly the end of an era. Their final release was the Union x Pegleg NYC x G-Shock Watch.

Stussy New York will be housed in the 176 Spring Street location, who will continue to carry OriginalFake. The Union name is survived by their LA counterparts.
