In 1909 Stanley Korshak opened a luxury goods store in Chicago, one of the first to offer designer women's apparel.[3] After suffering financial problems throughout the 1980s, Dallas heiress and developer Caroline Hunt purchased the rights to the name. A new store in Dallas in the upscale Crescent development opened in 1986; the store in Chicago closed in 1990.[4] The Dallas store was managed by Crawford Brock since 1987, and he purchased the business in 2002.[5] Over the years the store has expanded to include additional departments and offerings covering 75,000 square feet.[6] It has garnered several awards and accolades, including being named one of the 50 most influential men's stores in America by Women's Wear Daily in 2013.[7] Industry estimates put annual sales at $40 million, or $600 per square foot.[6]
