Welcome to the Racked Awards, our annual celebration of the best in local shopping and stye.

This week, we're kicking off the fourth annual Racked Awards: a tradition where we (and you!) spotlight the city's style superheroes. On Thursday, October 16th, we'll be honoring the winners of a handful of categories at a gala celebration, including New York City's hottest store of the year, best L.A. import, freshest fitness concept, and more.

Follow along as we unveil a new winner every day, starting tomorrow. First up: this year's most epic sample sale, as chosen by Racked readers.
