Best of Boston

1998 Best Women's Clothing, Designer

Serenella

The boutique is a gold mine of designers-on-the-rise like Antonio Beradi and Lucien Pellat-Finet, as well as more established lines like Moschino Couture. For those who care about fashion, there’s an interesting fusion of labels and attitudes for all ages. For those who care more about originality, the diversity of designs here reduces the chances that you’ll bump into some wench wearing your dress at Aquitaine.
