Through my travels I have encountered several unique boutiques that have cutting edge concepts and one of a kind features. Fashion is always about what is new and these boutiques, though not all new, stand at the forefront of fashion and are highly regarded in the fashion industry.
New York

"Jeffrey is a one-stop, easy shopping experience. The owner, Jeffrey Kalinsky, selects the most exciting pieces that fashion has to offer while emphasizing service. The company defines service as warm, fun, friendly, and educational for the customer. Each associate is trained to be a personal shopper for his/ her client.
Jeffrey likens his store as the perfect closet for any man or woman. Every season, Jeffrey and buyer, David Rubenstein edit each collection to feature the best of the best.
The philosophy of the store, can be summarized as providing the best service and the best product in a fun, positive, upbeat environment."**

Paris

This magnificent store on 213 Rue Saint-Honore 7500 not only houses the best fashion but the space is also used as a gallery to showcase the top artists and new works. The space also houses a cafe called Water-Bar. This space has fashion, jewelry, accessories, gifts and art all exhibited under one roof. I urge you to check out their site if you are not going to Paris anytime soon to experience this one of a kind space.
London
I was recently introduced to Dover Street Market by a friend and was blown away by their unique visual displays and theatrical aesthetic. Dover Street Market not only carries the top fashion brands and edgy fashion but it displays it in a unique and playful way. The best way to describe it is to show you through the images of their layout found on their website. I strongly urge you to check it out.

Milan

"Founded in 1990 by gallerist and publisher Carla Sozzani,
10 Corso Como is dedicated to art, fashion and design.
Former journalist and fashion editor, Carla Sozzani
conceived 10 Corso Como as a virtual narrative of a magazine layout."**
"10 Corso Como multifunctional philosophy allows it
to present a unique blend of art, fashion, music, design,
cuisine and culture from the world to the world.
The global culture and international market meet
at 10 Corso Como."**
**The philosophy as it is found on the Corso Como 10 Website
