Frock New York

Originally a rental showroom, the LES store now offers women’s designer clothing, accessories, and shoes from the ’60s to the ’80s. Browse big names (YSL, Dior, Chanel, Valentino) — perhaps even alongside a few (Rachel Weisz, Beyonce, Lucy Liu).

Alice Roi New York

Launched in ‘99. You can still party like it’s so in minidresses, jumpers, accessories, and more designed by a New York native who knows all about those ragers.

Well-priced dresses, tops, and shoes from indie designers (locals, represent!) in a closet-size shop on the LES. Major props for the easy online boutique, too.
