If you've never been to New York, this is the perfect opportunity to get here and NOW! While the obvious would seem like post Christmas sales the best in this town, pre trumps post and leaves you with a little change to spare.While I myself have heard, old wise takes of Givenchy handbags retailing for $1600 being marked down to $500 before christmas. It was definately time for me to put on my hard hat and high heels and play myth busters, Here's some info from the good people over at M.A.C!
DVF: The fall season is discounted just 30%. Smart shoppers hit the sample sale where prices were 50% to 75% off. boutique prices often go to 70% by season's end.
Alexander McQueen: 60% off However, even with the steep discount some items are way over budget. Take this bird-print funnel neck dress. It's still almost $2400 even after the discount. The dress was originally $5,975. The dress is a real piece of art but for those prices we prefer to save up for a Kandinsky. Not all items are thousands. A cable knit dress is $664 from $1670, a cowl neck dress is $659 from $1655 and statement platform shoes are $464 from $1165.
Stella McCartney: As we write, the fall/winter collection is 40% off but the discount goes to 50% on Monday. The discount includes bags and shoes. The additional markdown is happening right on time because there's still quite a bit of merchandise left.
Matthew Williamson: Everything is so much more colorful downtown but few designers are brighter than Matthew Williamson. Right now prefall is 60% off and the runway collection is 50% off. The discount could go to 80% after the New Year and that's when we will start charging it up.
Jeffery NYC: The discount went down to 40% on Thursday. Shoes are selling quickly. The "racks" are up and if you're a 7.5 don't even bother. There's nothing left. There is a healthy selection of 8s and the biggest variety of shoes is the 10s or a European 40. The clothing is hit or miss when it comes to sizes.
