Since the dramatic reno in 2007, this outpost of the well-respected German brand has been giving off a new energy. Creative director Damiano Biella has contemporized the collections while also focusing on lots of draping, folding, gathering and stitching to create voluminous looks and fancy finery in order to justify the steep price tags (cashmere top coat, $4,990; boots, $1,200–$1,500). In an environment where a glass of Veuve is de rigueur, evening dresses go down easy at $3,500 to $7,000. On the first floor, Escada Sport is slightly more accessible; embellished cotton tanks go for $110 and sprightly day dresses for $850. The Laurel line is an in-store gem, offering indispensable leather jackets ($1,490).
