T

he romantic memory of a man who cut a striking figure in a dark suit, ascot, top hat, and coattails lives on in granddaughter Nadine Ferber's West Village boutique, named after none other than Mick Margo, the dapper man himself. Any shopper who finds her way to the tucked-away store will have the pleasure of browsing in a space that feels like a good friend's boudoir adorned with a collection that translates the understated elegance of Ferber's grandfather into modern, feminine classics. "I look for pieces that have a unique cut, are made from luxurious materials, have rich prints or colors—things that add to an everyday wardrobe," she says.

The Goods: A roster of ever-changing international and emerging NYC designers, including Alexander Wang, Vena Cava, Devotte, Jerome Dreyfuss, Deere Colhoun, Graham & Spencer, VPL, Rachel Comey, and Cacharel—the kinds of designers Ferber believes "captivate and have an air of quality we all hope to emulate."
