Gabriela Hearst

Housed inside the legendary Carlyle Hotel, this new Madison Avenue flagship by fashion designer Gabriela Hearst has been hailed by Vogue as “the most beautiful store in New York.” Hearst’s eponymous clothing line of contemporary classics, launched a mere three years ago, was quickly picked up by such high-end retailers as Barneys New York and Bergdorf Goodman before Hearst set out on her own. Originally from Uruguay—where Hearst’s family are sixth generation sheep farmers—the designer is known for producing garments of impeccable quality using only the finest merino.
