In a dressed-down economy, it's tempting for shop owners to forgo fancy frocks. Gia Ventola, however, is an outlier, stocking a sophisticated assortment of pieces in all ranges of affordability, from $150 dresses by Wink to moderately priced Rolando Santana styles to the Peabody store's own couture looks. RUNNERS-UP: Louis, Twilight
