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.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
