Escada

The luxury womenswear brand relocates its Upper East Side flagship farther down Madison Avenue, offering elegant apparel ($195–$5,950), posh footwear ($625–$1,195), fragrances ($40–$60) and accessories ($195–$1,375). Gold-lacquered wooden walls and ebony flooring bring a chic feel to the loftlike two-story space. The swanky spot features a plush lounge area, as well as a dedicated section for the brand’s acclaimed evening gowns ($1,895–$13,275), highlighted by a large three-way mirror and velvet curtains. Ladies looking to indulge in a statement piece can splurge on sleeveless draped gowns ($1,895), stretch-wool tuxedo blazers ($1,595) and embossed-python slingback pumps ($625). You’ll also find items featuring less anxiety-inducing prices from the Escada Sport collection, such as rose-print wool sweaters ($350).
