Profile

Back in 1995, FIT–grad Lisa Brock brought high fashion to an unlikely place—the blue-blooded town of Princeton, New Jersey, where she opened the first outpost of Zoë. A decade later, Brock mimicked her original business plan by bringing big-name designers to Kings County. Missoni, Pucci, Zac Posen, Matthew Williamson, Miu Miu, and Stella McCartney line the racks alongside lesser-priced labels like Diane Von Furstenburg, Tibi, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and any other name favored by chic St. Anne’s students. The one-stop-shop also carries a healthy selection of shoes, handbags, and denim. Once again, the names ring familiar to any frequenter of Barneys New York or Bergdorf Goodman. But without a trip across the bridge. — Caroline Callahan
