Receiving almost as much attention as the clothes, the art at the gallery-esque Fifth Avenue store has a presence that’s undeniable. Ruth, our prop and window dresser extraordinaire, reveals the artists and just how many gloves there are. “The wall of art…is a mix of vintage and new, known artists from galleries and unknown artists unearthed in antique stores and flea markets.”

The men celebrating at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund event had effortlessly laid-back styles—from stripes to perfectly worn-in jeans.

The download on Dutch:

Nickname: Pumpkin

Age: 11 months

How did this handsome fella come into your life?
He was a 50th birthday present from a very dear friend.

Why “Dutch”?  
Well, I always thought that if I ever had a dog, his name should be Dutch…because I’m Dutch, from Amsterdam. It’s a great dog name.

What’s the best thing about having your pooch?
Although I am teaching him things, he’s teaching me as well. And of course, the wagging tail when I come home.

What’s his personality like?
He’s a little wise guy—he has this wise-beyond-his-years look in his eyes. Sometimes I think there’s a little human inside of him…

Does Dutch have a splurge food?
Freeze-dried liver treats.

If Dutch had a human voice, whose would it sound like?
A young James Earl Jones.

Stay tuned as our Pet Project series will continue each Friday…
