H&M
Hennes & Mauritz, a
Swedish retailer, was a smash
success when the 5th Avenue
store opened in New York in
2000. Their secret? Kicky, young
designs for men, women, and
children at rock bottom prices,
creating a look that belies the
price tag.

Madison Avenue
Designers
The epicenter of designer
boutiques in New York used to
be 57th Street between 5th and
Madison avenues, where shops
such as Burberry are still found.
But as stores like Nike and Levi's
have invaded this territory, the
designers, Giorgio Armani to
Yves Saint Laurent, have moved
to Madison Avenue, where the
exclusive shops and boutiques
now run from 59th almost to
79th Street.
