Poppet

There's no shortage of vintage-clothing stores in the
East Village, but "somebody finally got it right"
with this revamped poppet whose clientele ranges
from NYU students to Seventh Avenue stylists; the
former find moderate, midcentury blouses and
dresses, while the latter love the luminous labels
from the '60's-'80's (think Ozzie Clark, Zandra
Rhodes and Holly Harp); the tiny, red-walled space
also holds a huge shoe collection that includes a
plethora of platforms; everything's cleaned, pressed
and ready to wear out the door.
