IT’S ALL ABOUT THE CLOTHES
When it comes to high-style haute couture, nothing beats Balenciaga, a venerable label now being designed by creative director Demna Gvasalia. The new Upper East Side flagship sports a factory-chicvibe, spare and white and fluorescent-lit,with aluminum-covered tables and the womens- and menswear hanging from conveyor belt hooks. A few blocks away, men, women and kids can literally get their kicks at Golden Goose Deluxe Brand, a long, narrow space filled with the famed spangled sneakers and colorful clothing, too. Urban cowboys and cowgirls can stock up on leather boots and garb from Frye, which has been handcrafting such goods for 155 years and showing ’em off in its new, woody, leather-upholstered Flatiron site.date, but the supple, patina-rich duffels and suitcases at Ghurka on Madison Avenue may well change your mind; and if they don’t, there are always the handbags, wallets, backpacks and briefcases (in classic styles, subtly updated) residing on the individually lit shelves. Women who are into whimsy might prefer nearby Edie Parker’s riffs on 1950s purses: acrylic clutches adorned with stars, fruit or sassy sayings. Barely bigger than a tote bag, the boutique also offers charms and cellphone cases. Those into intimate apparel mustn’t miss Intimissimi, whose luxe Italian lingerie for her—plus pj’s for him—adorn a swank site in Midtown.
