His favorite NYC stores
Century 21 22 Cortlandt St between Broadway and Church St (212-227-9092, c21stores.com)
"It's where I go for basics, socks and underwear," says Curtis of the nearby Tribeca location of this discount chain. "You can buy Polo and it doesn't have to cost you Polo numbers."
Earnest Sewn 90 Orchard St at Broome St (212-979-5120) • 821 Washington St between Gansevoort and Little W 12th Sts (212-242-3414) • earnestsewn.com
"It sells classic Americana threads and great denim," says Curtis of this jeans haven from which he owns about 30 pairs. "I pay about $200 for jeans there, and the construction is great—they're durable."
Fabulous Fanny's 335 E 9th St between First and Second Aves (212-533-0637, fabulousfannys.com)
"You can go in there for an hour and want to stay for five because there are so many products and each one has a different story [behind it]," says Curtis.
Flight Club 812 Broadway between 11th and 12th Sts • 254 Greene St between Waverly Pl and 8th St * flightclubny.com
This pair of consignment sneaker stores is where Curtis buys and trades kicks from his massive collection.
Ralph Lauren 867 Madison Ave between 71st and 72nd Sts (212-606-2100, ralphlauren.com)
"My favorite Ralph Lauren store in the city is the mansion; it's the mecca of where all fly clothes live," notes Curtis. He buys all of his pricier pieces off-season when they're on sale (he's currently purchasing duds for next fall). "I'll get a $5,000 blazer for $1,000, and it doesn't go out of style."
