Maryam Nassir Zadeh (123 Norfolk St., New York, NY 10002 (Lower East Side)/ 212.673.6405)

Maryam Nassir Zadeh is a gallery like boutique just on the outskirts of the guided-tour heavy Lower East Side. The boutique/gallery offers a well-curated array of independent designers. Clothing for men and women hang adjacent to modernist sculpture, while tables of sculptural jewelry site alongside with vintage accessories and ephemera. You can feel Zadeh’s direct connection to store with her textiles that fill the space with warmth and dismiss the conservative ultra modernist appeal of bigger stores. --Lyndsy Welgos for Jargol

Mick Margo (19 Commerce St., New York, NY 10014 (West Village)/ 212.463.0515) $$$$

Nadine Ferber’s artful clothing boutique is named after her grandfather, a London toymaker and proper British man-about-town. The theme of playful elegance also informs her selection of breezy womenswear gathered mostly from emerging designers in New York and Paris. A free-form composition of gauzy blouses dangling above tailored pants and buff leather flats peeks through the iron-gated storefront, offering a hint of the delicate pieces within. Sunshine & Shadow silk dresses, Alexandra Wang coats, and Repetto shoes cozy up with Cacharel separates and Isabel Marant wispy tees. Karen Walker sunglasses and Jerome Dreyfuss bags put the finishing touches on a tousled, carefree sophistication. -- Alexandra Vallis from NYMag.com
