Back in April, the brand marked its foray into yachting regattas with its sponsorship of “Les Voiles de St. Barth” regatta on the Caribbean island of St. Barth.

House Hunting in NYC’s Lower Fifth

Every city has its neighborhood, and every district has its day. Soho, Meatpacking, the Village and more have all relished in the heyday of glory. As of late, it seems that our favorite fashion icons are perking up and paying attention to the Lower Fifth.
