The name International Playground for the boutique that inhabits 13 Stanton Street really couldn't be more perfect—the store is quite literally a whimsical wonderland of high-fashion, with designers that have roots in all over the world, including London, Sweden, Scandinavia, and New York City.

Back in 2010, International Playground morphed from a pop-up shop to a permanent store, and has been servicing shoppers east of Bowery with a carefully edited collection for men and women. Much of what's on the racks right now is equal parts current and '90s-nostalgic—for example, the spring pieces from House of Holland were inspired by the Baz Luhrmann rendition of Romeo & Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes.
