...until you saw the people on Madison Avenue. Actually, it's quite a humorous blend of couture, high/low contemporary, just plain low contemporary, and just plain clueless dressing. Skip the obvious places and go for Takashimaya (if you have the cash). Well, even if you don't have the cash, put on your prettiest clothes and go there and drool at the most artful selection of clothes in the city. If you're one of those tourists that love to go into Prada and LV and gawk at the big shiny expensive things, please don't expect special treatment. Those sales clerks are rude to everyone until they whip out their credit cards.
