The Faithful Shopper: FavoriteFlagships

One of the great advantages of shopping in the greatest retail city in the world is that we can visit eachdesigner or brand's largest statement stores (aka flagships). These shops let a company showcase itsentire line as they'd like their goods presented. And here, we have a feast of flagships! Below are some ofmy favorites ­ note that many of these also have smaller stores around the city, but the address listed isfor the flagship.

Dennis Basso ­ 765 Madison AvenuePeople know Basso for his furs (both real and faux), but this four­story townhouse is the ultimateflagship in that it presents all of his lines, which also includes ready­to­wear, and even in­housealterations.

Fendi ­ 598 Madison AvenueThis just­opened store is visually stunning, with imported Indonesian wood, columns, arches ­ and ofcourse Fendi's extraordinary collection from fur to leathers (including, yes, a wall of Baguette bags), andapparel.

H&M ­ 589 Fifth AvenueNew Yorkers may not have realized that H&M, the epitome of fast fashion, also sold home goods,cosmetics and even maternity wear ­ at least until this colossal store opened in July. It carries EVERYproduct H&M sells with its usual great values.

MCM ­ 100 Greene StreetMCM's bags are not for the shy and reticent: the colors often are bright, and there's more than a bit ofbling. The same is true of the Soho shop, with illuminated crucifixes, neon lighting and more. Both themerchandise and stores are true statements.

Maison Goyard ­ 20 East 63rd StreetIn sharp contrast, Goyard's store and leather goods are all about subtlety: just off the avenue in anunderstated townhouse. But you'll find some of the most luxurious bags and accessories in the world!

Tomas Maier ­ 956 Madison AvenueThe designer has expanded beyond accessories and apparel to include home goods and jewelry in thistwo­story townhouse, which boasts minimalist designs and decorations created by Maier himself. It's analmost spa­like experience!

Happy Shopping!
