Buzz was building on Thursday that IMG, which owns 7th on Sixth, may be forced to find a new location for the next round of collections in February if an agreement with the Bryant Park Restoration Committee is not reached imminently.

    CROWNING GLORY Steve McQueen’s magnificent wardrobe stole the show in classic 1968 heist film,The Thomas Crown Affair. by wei koh original photography munster FOLLOW SUIT here’s a reason the smartest names in men’s elegance — including Tom Ford, Ralph Lauren, Timothy Everest, Mark Powell and Ozwald Boateng — all regard The Thomas Crown TAffair, the 1968 Norman Jewison-helmed film starring Steve McQueen, as one of the most influential moments in men’s style. To this day, the film remains one of the most empowering intersections between masculinity and sartorial expression ever captured by the camera’s lens. Think back to the era in which it was born, and you’ll find that the film defiantly went against the grain. Late ’60s American cinema was focused on gritty social realism. To put it in perspective, a year after The Thomas Crown Affair, an X-rated movie about a male street hustler titled Midnight Cowboy would win the Academy Award for Best Picture. Even escapist fare like Arthur Penn’s Bonnie & Clyde and Samuel Peckinpah’s The Wild Bunch boasted central characters sublimated in paralytic angst moving inexorably closer to violent ends. So, it was perhaps understandable for reviewers to dismiss a movie like The Thomas Crown Affair — replete with Faye Dunaway’s 31 costume changes, Ferrari GT 250s, Rolls-Royces and, in particular, Steve McQueen’s British-tailored splendour — as mindless eye-candy. Admittedly, the narrative foundation of the film is not the strongest. Dreamt up by lawyer and screenwriter Alan Trustman, its central character is a new-world Boston brahmin — the 36-year-old, divorced, polo-playing arbitrage specialist and self-made millionaire, Thomas Crown.

Where are we in 2016, versus 1996? — Mary Rowe, August 9 Sharing The City: Learning from the New York City Public Space Movement 1990–2015 4 WHY THIS INQUIRY? This inquiry is, at heart, an invitation to question. We begin with the premise that in the little over 20 years that have elapsed since we founded the Design Trust, something of a “public space movement” has taken hold. The value of New York City’s public built environment to urban life has become almost universally acknowledged across sectors and disciplines: design, public service, social and urban planning, real estate development, and more. It certainly was not always so. Twenty years ago, “public” was not a word that one associated with either space or design. Then, as now, New York’s public sector was full of talented designers, planners and policy makers who were drawn to the great possibilities of designing the city’s libraries, esplanades and parks. But the agenda was not supported. The Design Trust was founded to effectively provide that support, and has helped to spur a movement that has unlocked the potential embedded in public sector space design, and elicit a reframing of design thinking that has made New York a proving ground in the creation of great urban space.
