As is our custom here at DailyCandy, the week between Christmas and New Year’s will be dedicated to the greatest hits of 2004. Hey, don’t even think about calling us slackers. We’re wooooorking here.

Have a great holiday, and thank you for being such smart, opinionated, and excellent readers.

Hitting the out-of-the-way stores, braving the heavy foot traffic, working overtime to find cutting-edge labels. It’s just gotta be exhausting.

Sure, you’d like to think you have the spirit of a style pioneer, but the stamina? For you there’s 30 Vandam, a showplace for the work of 50 carefully selected designers. Hidden off the beaten path near the Holland Tunnel, it’s a one-stop font of emerging talent: Colleen Quen Couture dresses, Sharona Nissan jewelry, Pure Ginger clutches, Ashley Dearborn stilettos, funky Mle Hagen hats, Romain Kapadia menswear, Sponge handbags, and tons of others. And if you can’t find your size in an item, 30 Vandam will have the designer whip one up for you free of charge.

All the perks of being a true trailblazer.

Without the fatigue or blisters.

30 Vandam, 30 Vandam Street, between Sixth Avenue and Varick Street (212-929-5224). Online at 30vandam.com.
