A fashion expert’s insider guide to shopping in New York City
Just in time for the holidays, stylist to the stars Erin Walsh shares her insider recommendations for getting to the heart of New York City’s vast shopping scene.
New York City’s shopping scene is undeniably iconic. The nation’s undisputed retail capital since the late 1800s, its shimmering concrete streets teem with luxury flagships, historic department stores and edgy indie boutiques. And yet, few out-of-town visitors venture past the chain stores of 5th Avenue, Rockefeller Center and Herald Square.
“If you only go [there], you’re missing the special gems,” said Erin Walsh – long-time New York resident and stylist to flawless Hollywood celebs like Anne Hathaway and Selena Gomez. Walsh is a passionate shopper, and equally passionate about New York City. “I love New York so much,” she said. “I feel like when you live there, it becomes not just a part of your identity, but energetically, your heart starts to beat with it.”
