Profile

The clothing empire founded by Gianni Versace in 1978 didn't end with his murder in 1997. The brand—adopted by fashion-forward icons like Madonna and J.Lo.—has continued to thrive under the aegis of sister Donatella. In keeping with a company devoted to extravagant luxury, the flagship sports marble floors and ceilings, and crystal chandeliers. Accessories are spread across the first floor while men's and women's sports- and career-wear occupy mini-boutiques—with soft lighting and black panels—on the upper levels. (Appointments are encouraged for formalwear.) In addition to clothes, Versace's gilded stamp can be found on boldly patterned dishes, glasses, and flutes made in Italy. Many of Versace's classic fragrances are also for sale.

Key Departments

Kitchen & Tableware

Donatella doesn't disappoint fans of the house's signature patterns and fabulous bold colors. This is some of the splashiest china around.

This is a great store, one of my favorite NYC flagships, actually. The store from the outside may seem intimidating, but this luxurious store is definitely worth a stop in. The associates there are VERY nice and helpful. Even if you don't buy anything, the associates make an effort to talk to you and they are very friendly. This store is by far one of most luxurious stores in New York, even if you don't plan on buying anything, you should still stop in and take a look around. The store has very neat elevators, too. The men's section is very nice on the 3rd floor with a large selection of suits, jeans, shoes, and more. The men's floor also has a great view out to 5th Avenue.

This Versace has a great interior design with super cool elevators. The staff is really friendly and super helpful. The selection is decent--although,even by the staff's admission, they never seem to order the really interesting runway pieces, just the black and gray stuff. Even if you're not in the market for high-end clothes, it's worth stopping by to take a look; the salespeople are happy to say "thank you" even if you don't make a purchase.
