Hello La Mode

"Some fantastic designer sample sales here like Tory Burch and Helmut Lang. Buy everything! If you made too many impulse purchases, you can sell them at http://www.hellolamode.com"

"If you work in or attend fashion events, you must have come across these bite-sized cakes of goodness. Love the flavors and minimal guilt due to their stature"

"Alma Mater to many of the top fashion designers of today (Donna Karan, Proenza Schouler, Alexander Wang, Derek Lam...)"

"Chaotic and overrun by tourists. Still a good place for your favorite cosmetics brands."

"Large selection of macarons and good salads for lunch"

"Find any kind of fabric, leather, trim and expertise at this fashion student haven, now turned tourist-friendly, celeb spot thanks to Project Runway"
