In the Library
Admit it: as a teenager you snuck into your mother’s closet, snagged her favorite Norma Kamali dress and Clergerie shoes (or even a t-shirt if that was her style) and wore her clothes out on the town. Bad idea. For some reason that made her mad. How about delving into a deeper closet with a less angry owner? The Albright Fashion Library boasts a seemingly never-ending collection of vintage and au courant must-have pieces from the highest end designers like Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, Chloe and countless more. Accessories also abound from jewelry to bags (drool) to 7000 pairs of shoes—eat your heart out Carrie Bradshaw. Partygoers, stylists, brides and even costume designers pull pieces from this extensive collection at ten percent of each garment’s original price. In fact, the library even brought some key garments west for this year’s Oscars. So you can wear beautiful items to which you might otherwise never have access and keep your mother calm as well. 10% of Garment’s Original Price, By Appointment Only: Albright Fashion Library, 62 Cooper Square, (212) 977-7350

The Stylephile is a potent cocktail of sweet and sour musings on the culture of keeping up appearances. Style should never be a humorless pursuit. Let style editor Caroline Ryder entertain you.
