| No matter how grey the skies outside, Genki is always sunnier than Hawaii. Stocking cult labels and cute collectibles from Japan, New York and much closer to home, it’s hard to suppress a smile once you step over the beaded curtain threshold. Genki’s own clothing range for men, women and babies has numerous devotees and the ‘I love shopping’ t-shirt pretty much says it all. Hair bobbles to kewpie dolls, robots to knitting kits, the store appeals to both the young and adultescent. And gossip columnists take note: when visiting celebs want to flex the Amex, Genki is often where they go. M.PADULA  Copyright © 2005 |
