A selection of the pieces on the floor now. Sizes are limited and the floor changes daily.

How to wear M Missoni this fall

Missoni is the Italian knitwear house Ottavio and Rosita Missoni founded in 1953, and the zigzag is its signature. M Missoni is the brand's younger, more wearable line, and it is the easiest way to put that pattern into a real wardrobe.

M Missoni Zigzag Knit Blazer. A notch-lapel, two-button blazer in a multicolor zigzag knit. Treat it like a jacket, not a statement: over a black slip dress or a white tee with straight-leg jeans, sleeves pushed up. The knit keeps it soft enough to wear all day. $699.99, down from $1,480.

M Missoni Textured Knit Jacket. A cream, cardigan-style knit jacket with tortoise-look buttons and a collar. Wear it buttoned as a top with light-wash denim, or open over a turtleneck once it gets cold. It reads cozy without looking sloppy. $649.99.

M Missoni Zigzag Knit Sweater. The pattern in its quietest form: a pale, pastel zigzag crewneck. Tuck the front into a camel trouser or a denim midi skirt and let the knit do the work. $399.99.

Balenciaga hoodies and tees on sale

Balenciaga is the Paris fashion house founded by Cristóbal Balenciaga, and today its logo sweatshirts are some of the most recognizable pieces in streetwear. The appeal is the cut: dropped shoulders, a heavy body and a small logo that looks right under a tailored coat.

Balenciaga BB Corp Medium Fit Hoodie (women's). A black hoodie with a small BB Balenciaga logo at the chest. Wear it over leggings with a long wool coat for the off-duty uniform, or with a leather skirt and boots. $399.99, down from $925.

Balenciaga Medium Fit Logo Hoodie (men's). The same shape in a washed navy. It layers under a denim jacket or a chore coat and works with grey sweatpants or dark jeans. $399.99.

Balenciaga Embroidered Logo Tee (men's). A heavy, boxy tee in faded grey with a small embroidered logo. On its own with black trousers now, then under an overshirt into October. $319.99, down from $725.

Alexander McQueen denim at Century 21 NYC

Alexander McQueen is the London house Lee Alexander McQueen founded in 1992, known for sharp tailoring and dramatic shape. The denim here shows both.

Alexander McQueen Cropped Cocoon Denim Jacket. A cropped trucker jacket with full, rounded cocoon sleeves and a curved hem. Wear it with something narrow so the sleeves get the attention: slim black trousers, a pencil skirt or a column dress. $849.99, down from $1,990, the deepest markdown in this drop.

Alexander McQueen Fitted Stretch Jeans. A mid-blue, fitted stretch jean with a subtle wash. Pair them with a loafer and a knit, or with the Missoni blazer above for a look that works at dinner. $379.99, down from $870.

How designer brands end up at these prices

Century 21's buying team works directly with luxury brands and their partners, buys in volume and moves quickly when a deal comes up. The markdown goes straight to the floor, so the ticket you see shows the brand's value next to the Century 21 price. Buys arrive in small runs, which is why the selection changes every day and why most styles come in only a few sizes.

Where to find Balenciaga, Missoni and McQueen on sale in NYC

Brand boutiques sell these labels at full price. Outlet malls outside the city carry some designer names, but that means a day trip, and sample sales are rare and unpredictable. Century 21 is a designer discount store in the Financial District, a short walk from the WTC and Fulton Street stations, with M Missoni, Balenciaga and Alexander McQueen on the floor at the same time, starting at 50% off.

If you are comparing designer stores in NYC, it is also one of the few places where you can try on women's and men's designer clothing, shoes and bags in one trip. More on how the store works is on our Why Shop Century 21 page.
