2010 Best Women's Clothing, Sophisticated

Serenella

Thirty years in, Serenella has blossomed under current owner Leslee Shupe, who works hard to keep her clients well appointed. Covetable pieces by Giambattista Valli, Narciso Rodriguez, Thakoon, and J. Mendel make one-up dressing a breeze, while labels like Genetic Denim, Kaufman Franco, and Boy by Band of Outsiders ensure civilized women will never look sloppy.
