Luxury shoppers lamented the closings of Barneys New York, Henri Bendel, Fivestory, Intermix, Opening Ceremony, 10 Corso Como and many other designer emporiums – all victims of Covid-19, changing consumer habits or overexpansion.Luckily, retail is rebounding across the city post-pandemic, and there are new or updated multi-brand boutiques from Tribeca to the Upper East Side. These flagships offer curated selections of the hippest designer fashion, shoes and accessories from both legacy and emerging labels.
“What defines a successful multi-brand specialty store is the relationship and the intimate bond our team shares with our clients is unparalleled,” says Alissa Emerson, creative director and founder of EDIT New York on Madison Ave.“We know [our client], we know her children, her birthday, her last vacation and the one that’s coming up.
