Charivari (store)

Charivari was a chain of clothing stores in New York City. Its first store opened in 1967 and had grown to six stores before finally closing in 1998. It is known for championing avant-garde fashion designers in the 1980s. The name translates to "uproar" in French. Its rise to prominence in fashion coincided with the gentrification of its neighbourhood, Manhattan's Upper West Side.
