The team at Marc Fornes / THEVERYMANY merges the shopfront and the café into one inhabitable form. The sculptural volume defines the café as an interior body while extending outward to construct the facade of the store. Conceived as a fully operational coffee space, the structure organizes thresholds, entrances, and circulation with the precision of a calibrated system. Fornes' characteristic organic language binds these programs into a continuous geometry, open and breathable.
Worth Avenue and its surrounding streets have enjoyed an ongoing retail evolution over the years, with new and often bigger boutiques adding to Palm Beach's reputation as a designer enclave.

Here, a look at the new kids on the block, arriving just in time for the season.
First introduced in 1934, the curved trapezoidal legacy bag is easily the style that's most synonymous with the French label. That's thanks, in no small part, to all the it girls who carried the bag to superstardom in the early aughts, including Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, and Rihanna (repeatedly), as well as fictional fashionistas such as Gossip Girl 's Serena van der Woodsen. Despite its decadeslong story, interest in the bag hasn't waned, and it's still as coveted as ever.

No sooner was he off the corporate jet than Beccari was inspecting the premises - a blend of VIP rooms, a chic café, a Michelin-starred restaurant and countless pieces of almost priceless art amid the myriad monograms.
While Louis Vuitton bags have become more commonplace these days, there is no denying what they represent: wealth, quality, and (generally) a fashion statement. While the BFW fashion team hasn't been able to investigate this matter to uncover the exact make and model of the bags in question, what we do know is that Kingsley Coman gifted his former Bayern teammates LV bags as a farewell present per Tz's Philipp Kessler and Vinzent Tschirpke (via @iMiaSanMia):
Escorted by her husband, Jay-Z, Bey stole the show on Saturday, Nov. 22, when she strolled in wearing a matching set made to look mimic a racer's catsuit uniform. The top was a zip-up moto jacket that she unfastened real low to show off her décolletage. The "ALIEN SUPERSTAR" songstress paired it with matching high-waist pants. Designed by Louis Vuitton, the predominantly white leather set featured black and red accents and was covered in patches that bore the French label's name, resembling racers' patch ornamentations.
The secondhand market is a bright spot for luxury.
