Intermix

Now 18 locations strong (with five outposts in New York city), this Manhattan-born chainlet has clearly hit on a winning mix of goods. The glossy white spaces, which are permamently packed with girls who crave this season's “it” bag, give equal play to heavyweight designers such as Chloe and Stella McCartney along with more obscure, up-and-coming labels such as Crispin & Basilio and Karta. Beyond a host of party dresses and flowy tops, you can turn here for on-trend accessories, and a host of denim lines as well.
