Prada opens on the Wynn Esplanade, Stuart Weitzman's only-in-Vegas creations, and more fashion news:
The first piece of jewelry that Hermès produced, in 1927, was the Filet de Selle bracelet, a tribute to the luxury house’s equestrian roots. Now the company is carrying on that tradition with its new Filet d’Or line. Available in rose- and white-gold with diamonds, the pieces incorporate familiar designs, such as the Attelage buckle clasp and an updated Milanese mesh, as well as the bijouterie style of shaping metal with diamonds, as in the 1.56 carat Filet d’Or double ring (ABOVE, $26,200), featuring no fewer than 287 sparklers.

With the reopening of Stuart Weitzman’s renovated boutique in the Forum Shops at Caesars—the brand’s original retail location, debuting in 1993—the company is producing six Swarovski crystal–encrusted interpretations of its pavé Nudist collection, all of them unique to Vegas. The dazzling patterns for the shoe-obsessed include posh polka dots, a turquoise chevron, glistening camoufl age, and the exclusive Queen of Hearts design, featuring a playing card of encrusted crystals and a red heart topped with a gold crown. 702-369-9222
Prada’s third boutique in Las Vegas has newly opened on the Wynn Esplanade—just in time for fall. It features women’s and men’s ready-to-wear pieces, leather goods, and accessories, as well as footwear from the Fall collection’s quintessential classics, like double-strapped Mary Janes and rubber- soled leather loafers. The shop’s dramatic interior is framed by strips of black marble, with green fabric walls flanking the brand’s iconic black-andwhite marble checkered flooring, while a mirrored portal leads guests from the women’s space to the men’s—a distinctive design element for even more distinctive fashions.
