MEET SOHO’S BEST KEPT SECRET
With mega chains sitting on every corner, it’s really hard to find unique clothing in NYC. It’s even harder to find unique clothing that won’t drain your bank account. This is why I was thrilled when Madonna & Co. invited me to come in and shop their boutique.
The shop is tucked away right in the heart of SoHo’s best shopping, and features a great selection of fashion forward clothes & accessories that can’t be found anywhere else in the city. The boutique features modern black and white decor with plush monochromatic oversized chairs, and a fashion-inspired artwork on the walls. Merchandise is expertly incorporated into the ambience and is artfully hung on walls and mannequins. There’s also an entire jewelry closet next to the cash register that would make even the least “girly” girl swoon.
The store’s founder Geralynn finds unique creations from up-and-coming designers, amazing vintage accessories from designers like Chanel & Prada, and also as creates pieces for the store’s own label. Not only are the styles different, but they’re also very well crafted and don’t have the extreme mark up that most boutiques have. Most pieces fall within the $150 range which is extremely good considering that most of what stores like Zara carry runs around $75, and only can be worn for one season. Madonna & Co. carries the kind of wardrobe investments that you’ll love season after season.
Not planning on coming to SoHo? No worries! They just launched their online store and have a good variety of their product up there.
Check out some of my favorites from the boutique…
This The Hi-Lo Poet Shirt shirt is absolute PERFECTION. It reminds me of something that would be from Alexander McQueen, but it’s a fraction of the price! (It’s only $150!)
How gorgeous are the store’s fashion illustrations?

I couldn’t resist this faux-snakeskin jacket.
Embellished Open-Front Cardigan with Leatherette Detail on Right
Can you believe it’s handmade by an LA based designer? I am obsessed with the faux leather scaling!
Love this classic photo of June Pickney!
This was my absolute favorite piece from the whole boutique! I am so painfully IN LOVE with the rosettes on this coat. It was the last one, but if they still have it in stock, I’m buying it the moment I get paid!
Which one is your favorite?
