Badgley Mischka (CLOSED)

Eveningwear aficionados Mark Badgley and James Mischka open their first NYC store in the space previously occupied by Emilio Pucci. Built in 1910, the tri-level boutique features 18th-century antique columns, Parisian mirrors, raw-brass fixtures and a bohemian crystal chandelier. Ladies will find glitzy gowns ($355–$1,400), accessories ($55–$3,450) and outerwear ($495–$3,975), as well as the midpriced Mark & James collection of dresses and separates ($230–$520). Splurge on sleeveless lace frocks ($5,500), sparkling halter dresses ($5,940) and one-shoulder draped styles ($3,215). Add on beaded clutches ($375) and bib necklaces ($395) for a truly special occasion.
