Yan Ling and Yan Yan had reached a consensus: after the Haute Couture Fashion Week in July 2015, all 36 existing Y·Y boutiques would have a "grand reopening."
The streetwear sections would still only operate for half a month; for the remaining half, nothing would be sold except shoes.
It was still streetwear, but the store would go through phased openings.
To smooth over the "reopening," starting from the last two months of 2014, the "business hours" of each Y·Y store had already begun to regularize.
Those that opened for the first half of the month would always do so; those that opened for the second half would stick to that schedule.
For six months straight, they opened on the same day each month.
Originally, fans complained about Y·Y's irregular hours. Now that it had become fixed, more people were complaining, feeling that the fun of "blockade and gamble" was lost.
What fans of other brands were like, Yan Yan had no clue.
