Having opened all the way back in 1953, Grethen House is one of the Twin Cities' longest-standing boutiques still in business. And over the years, it hasn't lost its touch, continually adding fashion-forward lines (Megan Park, Rachel Allegra, zero + maria cornejo) into the mix. Anchored by New York favorites like Rick Owens and Yigal Azrouël and long-established houses like Maison Martin Margiela, Costume National and Carven, the store's selection finds the sweet spot between haute couture and everyday-wear. 4930 France Av.
