Renfrew, 38, officially joined Best & Co. in January (she had previously done consulting work there), but has already taken steps to solidify its status as the top tier of the fast-growing high-end children's-wear business...

Sometimes the next big opportunity is continents away; at other times it's in the backyard. In Paris, word has it that the high-end children's-wear brand Bonpoint is in play.

Bonpoint, the quintessential Parisian brand, is known for meticulous detailing and classics with a fizz in sizes 0 to 16. The company is both desirable and underexposed, and the Pinaults are well placed to observe the little consumers-in-training?their family mansion near the Luxembourg Gardens overlooks...
