Tender Store Owner Cheryl Daskas Dies at 71
Funeral services were held in Troy, Mich., on Friday for Cheryl Daskas, a former model who ran the directional fashion boutique Tender. The cause of death for Daskas, who died on June 9, was not immediately known, according to the publicist Ellen Carey, who was a friend. Daskas had seemed 'fine' while working in the store on Saturday, aside from complaining of a leg issue, Carey said. She was found 'peacefully' at her home, following a wellness check by one of her employees, Carey said. More from WWD Groundbreaking Fashions Focus of Tokyo Exhibition Suite Talk: Frank Darling's Kegan Fisher on Making the Move From Tech to Art The History Behind the World's Most Expensive Tiaras: From Elizabeth Taylor's Mike Todd Headpiece to the $12.7 Million Henckel von Donnersmarck Tiara and More Born in Detroit, the 71-year-old spent her career in the fashion industry in different capacities. For the past 32 years, she owned and operated the store Tender in Birmingham, Mich., with her sister Karen. Tender is known for its European designer labels, which prior to the store's opening were not in abundance in the Midwest. The pair owned the downtown building that houses Tender, and they shared a home as well. Daskas earned a bachelor's degree at Michigan State University before getting into fashion. During her high school and college years, she modeled for the Ford Motor Company, Hudson's department store and other brands, before deciding 'that's not where she was going to make her money,' her sister said. 'She said it was like looking for a job every day of your life. Our mother was a model too. She was British and Scandinavian. They were both so pretty.' Tender once resided next door to a leading designer retailer Linda Dresner. After Dresner shuttered that store, Tender picked up Dries Van Noten. It also sells Erdem, Simone Rocha and Ashlyn, a 2025 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist, for its 3,000-square-foot shop. Lanvin was once a strong seller there, during the Alber Elbaz years, Carey said. With pale blue walls, architectural displays and top-shelf names, Tender looks more like the type of a polished retailer one finds in Manhattan or Los Angeles. Ashlyn's managing director Johanne Shepley Siff met the sisters 30 years ago in her former role as senior vice president of sales and marketing at Prada. Siff said, 'We've lost one of the gems of the specialty store business. Cheryl was a force. I called her a 'textile archeologist.' She could immediately identify products of integrity.' Sift added, 'Tender is one of the opinion leaders, and one of the go-to retailers at the high-end specialty store. They not only take the risk to identify emerging talent, but they also have the structure and wherewithal to introduce that talent to a customer they have cultivated to appreciate new talent.' Accustomed to working six days a week, Cheryl Daskas would arrive at 8:30 am, if a customer requested that. The co-owners called their store employees 'Tender-ettes,' and they stayed connected with those past and present through the years, Karen Daskas said. 'Cheryl loved what she did. It was not about her or Tender. It was always about everybody else doing well,' Karen Daskas said. 'She had this gift, where she could look at someone and immediately know what size they were and what types of clothes would look good on them. And you didn't have to be a size four. You could be any size. She was just going to make you look great and feel the best that you can be.' With a larger-than-life personality, she was recognizable for her auburn cropped hair, broad smile and designer outfits. 'She was very tall and grand. When she came into a room, she stole the show,' Carey, who owns Seed Inc., said. Even in the early 1990s, the sisters understood the importance of retailers working closely with manufacturers to create items that would appeal to their customers. They took a highly personal approach to helping shoppers in the store and were also loyal supporters of the arts community through events and philanthropy in Birmingham, Carey said. Recalling how they collaborated on vintage jewelry shows at Tender on occasion, Carey said, 'Cheryl could sell like no one else could. Her heart was 100 percent in everything she did. Why do you want to do something if you're not going to do it well?' They would typically sell 150 of 200 items during a two-day sale. Kenneth Jay Lane items were of particular interest to shoppers and to Daskas, who would set aside five pairs of earrings for herself, Carey said. 'I would say, 'Cheryl, these are for the customers,' and she would say, 'Well, I'm a customer.'' But she wore them during the trunk show sales, and she was the showpiece, Carey said. 'And you're going to want them, if she's wearing them. Karen would not have done that. Karen would have sold them.' While Cheryl Daskas handled front-of-the house sales and the store's social media, Karen Daskas managed the buying trips. Off the clock, Cheryl Daskas enjoyed gardening, relaxing poolside, grilling and sharing meals and binge-watching shows with her sister. 'Every night we would tell eachother we loved eachother and give eachother a hug. We never fought except for a couple of sister squabbles,' Karen Daskas said. 'It's just a shock. We never got married and we didn't have kids. We have two little Kerry Terriers 'Whiskey' and 'Gogo.'' Daskas is survived by her sister.

It's the wedding of the summer for high-society liberals. Former Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin and her financier scion fiancé Alex Soros will tie the knot at a glamorous Hamptons wedding attended by panoply of left-leaning power players Saturday. Abedin, 48, the ex-wife of disgraced former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner, will marry Soros, 39, the son of lefty billionaire investor George Soros, at the family's lavish $14.5 million estate in Southampton. Huma Abedin, 48, will marry Alex Soros, 39, at the family's lavish $14.5 million estate in Southampton. @alexsoros/Instagram Hillary, Bill and Chelsea Clinton are on the guest list along with Barack and Michelle Obama and several European prime ministers connected to George Soros' grantmaking foundation Open Society, a source told Page 6. Some of the couple's A-list guests will be flown by helicopter from Manhattan for the festivities, which famed Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, banker James Rothschild and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt are also likely to attend. The big day will come after the lovebirds were set to host an exclusive rehearsal dinner, catered by Marie Eiffel, at Soros' mother's abode on Shelter Island Friday. Liberal power players like the Clintons are expected to attend the politically connected power couple got engaged in New York City last May after meeting at a birthday party thrown by Rothschild for his wife, Nicky Hiltonin, in the fall of 2023. They later celebrated the engagement with a trip to Italy. Before meeting Abedin, Soros, who sits on the investment committee for Soros Fund Management, had long been a bachelor, he told New York Magazine in April. 'I hadn't been in a relationship for a very long time — ten years or something like that — that had lasted for more than three months. And it's, like, the first time I realized I had been mistaking lust for love,' he said of their romance. 'There's a certain kind of stability and comfort,' Abedin said of the likeminded nature of their relationship. George Soros, whose estimated net worth is $7.2 billion, has been a major donor to liberal campaigns, organizations and causes. Earlier this year, the couple sent emerald green cards to friends declaring, 'Please save the date for the wedding celebration of Huma Abedin and Alex Soros,' on 'Saturday, June 14, 2025,' adding, 'Invitation to follow.' Weiner, who has a 13-year-old son with Abedin, will not attend the wedding.

Cristiano Ronaldo Responds to Idea of Playing Alongside Lionel Messi
Cristiano Ronaldo Responds to Idea of Playing Alongside Lionel Messi originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Cristiano Ronaldo is undoubtedly one of the greatest soccer players of all time. Over the course of his career, he had a sporting rivalry with Lionel Messi. Advertisement The Portuguese star has always been on top of the game, and at age 40, many wonder when he will stop. He continues to score goals and is still a key part of the Portuguese national team. With many not anticipating Ronaldo to stay many more years in professional soccer, many still hope that he will actually decide to play alongside Messi for at least one game as a professional player. Ahead of the UEFA Nations League Final tomorrow between Portugal and Spain, Ronaldo was asked for his thoughts on possibly playing alongside Messi in the near future. The hopeful part for many soccer fans is that he didn't completely shut the idea down. Cristiano Ronaldo on Lionel Messi Ronaldo was very welcoming to hear about Messi and Argentina during a press conference previewing a European game between two European giants in Portugal and Spain. Advertisement When asked if he would ever see himself play with Messi despite both being near the end of their careers, Ronaldo simply praised the Argentine star and the country itself. Cristiano Ronaldo: "You never know [playing with Messi] time is there, you know? I'm already 40 years old, but I always say: 'Never say never.' But I find it very difficult." Cristiano Ronaldo: "Of course, I have affection for Messi. We've been on stage together for 15 years. I remember translating English for him at the Galas because he didn't speak English well. He always treated me well and respected me.' Ronaldo also revealed having interest from Argentine clubs for the FIFA Club World Cup. Despite the respect and admiration for Argentina, he also mentions that it is almost certain he will not participate in the Club World Cup this month. Ronaldo on Lamine Yamal Ronaldo was also asked about the talent of Lamine Yamal. The Portuguese star admits to being impressed by the Spanish teenager and also wishes for the media to avoid pressuring the player. Cristiano Ronaldo: "The kid is doing very well, taking advantage of his talents. Let the kid grow. Don't put too much pressure on him. Let him be and grow well, take the pressure off. He has no shortage of talent." Advertisement A big topic surrounding Yamal is the Ballon d'Or. The youngster is one of the favorites to win it this September, and many voters on undecided with Ousmane Dembele and Raphinha also being top contenders for the prestigious award. Ronaldo gave his thoughts on the Ballon d'Or award and said that the Champions League is key to awarding the winner, which rules out Yamal in contention. Cristiano Ronaldo: "For me, whoever wins the Ballon d'Or must be a player who won the Champions League. I think this award has lost its value.'
