The Scene
The first thing that attracts the eye upon entering Dernier Cri are the shop's rugs--they're large cow pelts of various colors and patterns. It's the Meatpacking District--get it? The decorating scheme is quirky, but the atmosphere is all business--racks of clothes and accessories are laid out around a central desk area where busy staff congregate (no greeters here) and fashionistas rush to seek help with the store's merchandise.
The Goods
Featuring mostly young British brands, Dernier Cri's selection is very fashion-forward and eclectic. Labels like Mint, Preen, Frost French, Circle by Mara Hoffman and even pieces by Marjan Pejoski, best known for designing Björk's infamous swan dress, are mixed in with hanging lamps made from umbrellas, spotted string bikinis, scented candles, shell-decorated belts and tie-dyed stretch jerseys. You may not find something to buy, but the browsing's worth the trip.

I love the clothes, but one of the best things about Dernier Cri is the staff - they are all incredibly friendly and helpful. I love shopping here.

While many of the designers at Dernier Cri might not quite be the dernier cri on this side of the pond yet, the store's staff are happy to give you the background and pedigree on all those soon-to-be household names--you'll be glad you asked.
