Daryl K (CLOSED)

A Bond Street pioneer, Daryl Kerrigan half-jokingly calls her designs “après-punk,—lots of cool jackets, sexy simple dresses, etc.—but minimalism is my overriding influence.” In addition to selling her downtown staples, the shop carries androgynous suit jackets, deconstructed ’30s evening gowns and wool-mesh cardigans. “I like to design clothes that don’t previously exist,” she says. “The thing about my stuff is it’s gotta be tried on; it never looks as good on a hanger.”
