Luxury stores on the street include Prada, Barneys New York, Hermes, Tod's, Yves Saint Laurent, Kate Spade, Jil Sander, Loro Piana, Furla, calypso, Judith Ripka, Frette, Marina Rinaldi, Luca Luca, Graff Diamonds, Harry Winston, Vera Wang, Wolford Boutique, Me&Ro, A pea in the pod, ACA All Custom Attire, AG Jeans, Diesel, BCBG Max Azria, Bang & Olufsen and Chicago's own Ultimo.
