"Chichi" simply means that your downtown stores are outrageously expensive with stuff only millionaires can afford and only idiots buy (doesn't count big sales).
Waikiki's Kalakauwa (sp?) Avenue has more and more chichi stores. I stroll in there to look-see at Tiffany's. The only people I can talk with are the help. Everyone else is Japanese.
