Profile
With Castor & Pollux, Kerrilyn Pamer has created a women's apparel boutique that brings to Manhattan a bevy of beautifully feminine (but not frilly) fashions. Trained as an interior designer, Pamer worked for Martha Stewart before turning her talented eye to clothing and accessories; now, she curates a petite store to help stylish Manhattanites build their wardrobes and even manages to attract some intrepid outer-borough explorers in the process. Favoring classic pieces over anything trendy or fashion-forward, the result is an eclectic mix that looks simultaneously contemporary and vintage. The 3.1 Phillip Lim line exhibits precise tailoring; Sonia knits are more textural and youthful; and Wyeth dresses impress with their simple, flattering designs. There are tank tops, T-shirts, sweatshirts and silk-screened hoodies with the store's logo�a pair of conjoined galloping horse�are particularly popular. Pamer also sells leather wallets, jeans by Acne and Filippa K, and gold, silver, and beaded jewelry, much of it created by local designers.
