The New York Look
Neighborhood: East 40s
Type of Place: Women's Clothing
Description:
Millions from the Midwest and Europe visit New York City in hopes of returning home with a new wardrobe soaked in Manhattan chic. Traveling ladies need not get lost in the obscure and unparallel side streets of downtown to find those select boutiques. Right on 45th and 5th, The New York Look flaunts cocktail dresses meant to make a splash, from boutique brands like Yoanna Barashi and elegant Galliano couture. For those not ready for loud evening wear but have dreams of Breakfast at Tiffany’s, will find the classic black corset dress a perfect solution (Laundry by Design $335).
While The New York Look saves tourists from the 1 train to Soho, it saves Midtown working girls from the bustling department stores. Happy hour shoppers have breathing room in the illuminated store while they try on feminine power-suits (Galliano and Chloe). If work is the last thing on their minds, the store offers sophisticated weekend staples. There is a great selection of Seven Jeans, wool bolero sweaters and cashmere knee-length hoodies (Christopher Fischer $175).
There is a charming jewelry corner which features high-end fashion earrings (Leslie Danzis $89). The shoe department, in the more dimly lit back-half, serves as an escape that treat exhausted wallets with a whole table of designer footwear on sale (70% off!).
