Express

It’s like the tale of so many friends. A handsome guy with a great personality (Structure) moves in with his girlfriend (Express). At first, everyone thinks «great, good for you», but gradually the girl wears him down and makes him give up so much of what made him cool in the first place.
Structure sold his Le Corbusier furniture, tossed out his architecture books and tore out the imposing roman columns. All the things that made him interesting are completely absent. Now his wardrobe is indistinguishable from that of his girlfriend. He keeps his clothing on the floor, or in crumpled piles on tables. He doesn’t take care of himself. I want to stop by and say hello, but it is just too painful. I can’t even recognize him anymore.
Sadly, this is the fate of this once remarkable brand. I loved Structure, but when the brands merged, it was all downhill. This Express is easily the worst in the area, poorly merchandized and maintained with aloof employees.
