Everything from telephones to cookware, prosthetic legs to watches. One of my favorite places to admire some of these talented peoples creations is...

I've not made it a secret that I'm terribly fond of the Versace of old and by implication have thought that for some time Donatella has ridden the juggernaut that her brother's immense talent created. Carrying on the legacy of Gianni. A seemingly impossible task. For the first time in...
