Italian luxury fashion brand Versace (Milan) is scouting locations for a new Uptown New York location to replace its Fifth Avenue store that closed in February, reports WWD. Versace recently opened a 3000-square-foot store on Green Street in SoHo

“I’m so excited to bring Versace back to SoHo. NYC and its downtown attitude has been such an important part of the brand and such a big source of inspiration for me,” said chief creative officer Donatella Versace.

The SoHo space features marble floors with the brand’s signature Greca pattern and Medusa-shaped sculptures. A series of black-and-white images by photographer Ethan James Green featuring models posing on downtown streets were commissioned to celebrate the opening.

Time to Do What You've Always Wanted? Time to Call Wilkerson.

It was time. Teri Allen and her brother, Nick Pavlich, Jr., had been at the helm of Dearborn Jewelers of Plymouth in Plymouth, Mich., for decades. Their father, Nick Pavlich, Sr., had founded the store in 1950, but after so many wonderful years helping families around Michigan celebrate their most important moments, it was time to get some “moments” of their own. Teri says Wilkerson was the logical choice to run their retirement sale. “They’re the only company that specializes in closing jewelry stores,” she says. During the sale, Teri says a highlight was seeing so many generations of customers who wanted to buy “that one last piece of jewelry from us.” Would she recommend Wilkerson? Absolutely. “There is no way that I would have been able to do this by myself.”
