A Glove Story
According to fashion and costume auctioneer, Kerry Taylor, The Duchess of Windsor was the “Imelda Marcos of gloves” with well over 100-pairs.
If you too have a penchant for collecting gloves, you’ll want to stop by the new Sermoneta boutique in Yorkville. You won’t find an inventory of 100, 000 pairs, like at the original store in Rome, but what awaits is still a huge collection of handmade gloves (from $89) in masses of colours and skins. Pick from plain, elbow length and cashmere lined in plum, teal or canary yellow.
Don’t be shy; a bold pair of gloves can really fitz up an outfit. —Athena Tsavliris
