Atlas sits down with Singer to discuss the synergy between the two aspects of his collection. 

Trust/Fund

As the holiday shopping season begins, Atlas tracks down designer-purveyour Shana Tabor. Her store In God We Trust questions, by its moniker and continued existence, the power of the American dollar. It’s a thought that’ll stay at the forefront of our minds in the coming weeks.
