Oak
This enduringly cool boutique is the unofficial outfitter of hipsters who prefer the understated over the ironic. And the converted warehouse space, with exposed pipes and garage-door entryway, has a stripped-down look that reflects the spareness of the clothes.

Opening Ceremony
The concept is to highlight promising new labels from a particular city or country, each for six-month stints (Hong Kong and Brazil have been spotlighted in the past). The focus right now is on Japan, and inspirational designers from the area will be featured through the summer.

Zoë
One glance at the sharp, coolly chic selects from Gryphon, Willow, Stella McCartney, and Lanvin here suggests a parallel between the dressed-down elegance of the clothing and the fast-gentrifying, once-gritty feel of the neighborhood.
