Step onto Savile Row, London's most iconic street for style
As the inspiration behind Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's brand—synonymous with understated luxury—Savile Row (UK) remains a must-visit for the sartorially inclined traveller. 78 per cent cashmere, 14 per cent silk, 3 per cent wool, 2 per cent camel (and 3 per cent other fibres, where necessary): such is the label found inside the 'Mance' coat from The Row's Autumn/Winter 2019 collection. Designed with side pockets and a back flap, it boasts an ideal length and a price tag akin to that of a modest vehicle. 'Sometimes the coat is worth more than the money itself.' And yet, the 'Mance' coat isn't even the most extravagant offering. The Row's 'Margaux 10' handbag, rendered in crocodile leather, commands a sum comparable to a pre-owned Bentley. That these pieces continue to sell out at such prices owes everything to the brand's unwavering commitment to quality. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen did justice to The Row's namesake, honouring the London street that is home to the world's most exacting tailors: Savile Row. Nestled in the Mayfair district of Westminster, central London, Savile Row is the cradle of British tailoring. In essence, it is where any gentleman serious about refined dress naturally finds himself. See more: What to expect from Prada's 'billion dollar deal' to acquire Versace?

‘Powerlifting granny' inspires with vibrant, healthy lifestyle
CHICAGO — Ginger Mance is a Chicago area 74-year-old known as the 'powerlifting granny.' Two words that are not in her vocabulary? 'Granny' and 'old.' In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone as vibrant, strong and motivated as Mance. She is in a league all her own. Some thought her listed age was a typo when she joined the rooster at last month's Windy City Classic. 'I'm probably shocked that they're shocked that I'm 74, because I feel like this is how 74 should look!' she said. More info on Ginger on her She walked away with atrophy as she set another state and national record for her age group. She also teaches about health at her local Y and has authored some poetry books. 'If you plant in your mind that 'I'm old at 60' and 'I'm old at 70,' then yes, you will be old, using a cane and a walker,' she said. 'I post my lifts not to brag about what I'm doing, but to show you what you can do.' Lifting others is her biggest win of all. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

City of Savannah facing lawsuit over public records requests
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) – The City of Savannah is being sued for alleged failure to comply with open records requests related to public safety concerns at Housing Authority of Savannah properties. The complaint from the Mance law firm obtained by WSAV lists Savannah Mayor Van Johnson, the city's alderman, and the city attorney as defendants in the case. The complaint cites the defendants for, 'failure to timely provide public records in response to a lawful open records request.' 'The idea is, as the name suggests, that the public should have a preview into the dark places of government and should be able to get documents and information about the goings on of government relatively freely and without any obstructions,' Chad Mance, Owner of the Mance law firm, said. The Georgia Open Records Act is used by journalists, attorneys, and members of the general public to obtain records from public agencies. However, in this case, Mance said the City of Savannah has not been complying. 'We asked repeatedly for certain records over a number of years, and we believe there were a number of obstructions that were introduced in the process that should have never been present, and we have reason to believe that that may have been done to others as well,' Mance said. According to the complaint, the alleged obstructions include failure to provide timely access to public records, wrongful withholding of public records, and frustrating access to records. 'We sent a number of letters related to criminal activity, crime, and governmental findings in connection with that over years and years and years. Instead of getting met with complete productions or descriptions that were adequate of documents that existed or did not exist within a reasonable amount of time, we either were made to wait or had partial productions most of the time,' Mance said. Details of records requested by the Mance firm go back 5 years. They include incident reports, crime data, surveillance footage, and documentation of crime data and police activity around certain Housing Authority properties. 'There's a delicate balance between volume and expediency of disclosure to the public. What we want, is we want accountability and transparency,' Mance said. WSAV reached out to the City of Savannah for comment on this lawsuit and a spokesperson said, 'The city does not comment on active or pending litigation.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
