Chic Boutiques

Did you make it DKNY’s Madison Avenue boutique last night, where Coco Rocha danced a jig with her Irish dance troupe from Vancouver?

Wow. Tod’s chairman and president Diego Della Valle got his shoe shine skills on last night at the brand’s Madison Avenue flagship. For FNO, Tod’s hosted a demonstration of the creation of the driving shoe by company artisans, who flew in from the factory in Italy.

Chic Report’s favorite new reason to chill in Hawaii: how about the the addition of Dior Homme at Ala Moana Center in Honolulu?
