With stores in New York City and Los Angeles already under his belt, Quinn is digging deeper into the heart of the country, with a new location opening next month in Dallas...
Thierry Nataf, CEO and creative director of Zenith, the Swiss-based watchmaker, likes to model his most daring pieces after his own Bond-like lifestyle. This season he debuts the Defy collection, which looks vaguely like an accessory you absolutely cannot wear unless you fly your own jet and race cars.
