Was Galerie Lafayette at United Square? I remember them at Orchard Road, near Orchard Hotel.

Or were they at the place where borders is in now ???? The blooding place. I recalled buying my prom dress from there.

Have, see this http://www.nokia.com.sg/find-products/products/nokia-n9

Industry news is saying that Nokia will be taken over. Whether it's by Microsoft or other mobile phone players, it's anybody's guess.

I think they started off at Le Meridien, then close down, then shifted to where Borders was. Something like that.

they have many local labels not seen in singapore

their design and colour cordination for kids' clothings is always very nice

used to pick up some everytime I passed through Paris

i think their pricing is an issue and being not in big number here, they can't compete
