In Soho, a bohemian bourgeois Eldorado
A stroll in the neighborhood is essential. For the charm of its cobbled streets and cast iron buildings. And for shopping in cutting-edge designer boutiques. Take a trip to l’Atelier Adler (our photo at the top of the article), where designer Jonathan Adler sells his furniture and decorative objects, in a fanciful style inspired by pop art. Among which are terracotta trinkets made by the master himself behind his potter’s wheel.
Also go through Reformation, the cult sustainable fashion label founded by Californian Yael Aflalo. Romantic dresses, floral blouses, smocked tops made from recycled materials.
Then enter Khaite, a star New York brand, which has just opened its first store. “The best representative of the American ‘cool girl’ at the moment, according to le New York Times, her stylist Catherine Holstein is one of the favorite fashion designers of stars, from Katie Holmes to Kendall Jenner. Her clothes, chic without seeming so, are priced as hype: jeans above $400, other pieces at $1,000 and more.

In the Upper East Side, place for eclectic design
Lovers of original gifts know the MoMa Store, but that of Cooper Hewitt, an excellent design museum, has nothing to envy of it. Tableware, jewelry, decoration… The range is varied, careful, from established designers and emerging talents. From Philippe Starck’s lemon squeezer to Eva Zeisel’s salt and pepper shaker duo, from pretty notebooks to cheaply printed umbrellas: so many souvenirs that you won’t see in an airport shop.

Nostalgic Streetwear in Lower Manhattan
If there is a queue in front of the store, it is because Aimé Leon Dore (ALD for short) is the men’s fashion label that everyone is snapping up, especially the limited edition New Balance sneakers. Designer Teddy Santis, who founded the brand in 2014 (in which LVMH Luxury Ventures has a stake), draws his inspiration from the hip-hop and basketball culture of the 1990s, for cool and chic, well-cut pieces, far from flashy prints. .
Teddy jacket, Perfecto, bob, fitted jogging or double-breasted suit, the BCBG streetwear line has 1 million followers on Instagram and numerous collaborations with Porsche, Clarks, Woolrich, Timberland, New Balance and the rapper Drake.

Iconic jewelry on Fifth Avenue
After four years of work, the emblematic address of the venerable jewelry house founded in 1837, made famous by Audrey Hepburn in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s and now owned by LVMH, will reopen on Friday April 28. Supervised by architect Peter Marino, this 10,000 square meter flagship on ten floors, called “The Landmark”, promises to be spectacular. It will notably house an art gallery and the Blue Box Cafe… where you can have breakfast.

Where to find a beautiful vintage piece?
From flea markets to retro haute couture, vintage is popular and specialist stores have multiplied. In the East Village, 9th Street concentrates a good number of them. You’ll find the perfect vintage Levi’s 501 at Duo NYC (324 E, 9th Street).
For the 1980s Knicks basketball jersey or Yankees shorts with jacket, go to Mr. Throwback (437 E, 9th Street).
For pre-1960s ready-to-wear, jewelry and accessories, see 9th St. Vintage (346 E, 9th Street). The Quality Mending Co. is one of the oldest of its kind. His boss, Oliver Harkness, hunts throughout the United States. There you can find mainly men’s clothing (rock t-shirts, leather jackets, etc.) and a selection of Moscot sunglasses (329 Bowery).
In Soho, The RealReal specializes in second-hand luxury. The “archive collection” is presented with comments on iconic pieces and designer bios (80 Wooster Street).
