What is millinery?
Millinery is the art of designing, blocking and trimming head wear using the finest materials. The word millinery was derived from the city of Milan, known for producing beautiful materials used in hat making. Tonya Gross Millinery uses traditional hat making techniques to produce modern couture and ready-to-wear head wear.
From hedge fund to head wear.
Tonya’s love for hats started at a young age. Finding hats in antique shops, deconstructing them and remaking them with beautiful trims, was her creative outlet and a way develop her personal style. At 35, and many years into the financial services industry, Tonya had her “career epiphany”. Tonya left the hedge fund industry (and financial security) with a goal to lead a more creative life that would utilize her background in finance and love of design and accessories to launch her own business. Tonya studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago to hone her skills and design aesthetic while exploring materials, sculpture, and hand sewing. Tonya won a Raymond Hudd Millinery Award for Best Collection from the School’s fashion department.
Tonya Gross produces seasonal, bridal and Kentucky Derby couture and ready-to-wear hat collections. She also collaborates with clients to produce one-of-a-kind head wear and has produced hats for the cast of the Real Housewives of New Jersey and designer Pamella Roland for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York. Tonya was awarded Hat Life Publishing’s “Hatty Award” for her contributions to millinery in 2008.
Why hats?!
In 2007, Tonya Gross Millinery was launched in East Ukrainian Village, Chicago, IL, with goals to: build a sustainable and profitable business, make a substantial contribution to the resurgence of hat manufacturing in the US, and to create new jobs in the fledgling Chicago fashion industry through an MIT or “milliner in training” program.
“One of the many joys of creating head wear is helping others exude confidence and identify his or her unique personal style. When someone tells me, ‘I don’t look good in hats,’ or ‘my head is too small or too big,’ I look at this as a problem to solve!” says Tonya. “I aim to evoke confidence and uniqueness with every quality hand-finished hat that will endure the test of time and trends. I like the idea of pushing a traditional industry like millinery forward, using old techniques to make new, modern accessories.”

Today, the Zappos.com mobile team released the latest version of the Zappos App (version 3.0) for Android and Kindle. This release contains the most significant changes and feature updates since the inception of the Zappos Android App. Read on to hear more from Zappos’ mobile software engineers Matt Runo and Matt Kranzler (a.k.a. “The MATTS”) about some of the new changes. Happy shopping!
Even Easier Shopping and Shipping
In a world where you have too many credit cards or your spouse shares your tablet, the new version of the Zappos app helps you keep things straight by allowing you to color code and nickname your credit/debit cards (i.e. His Visa, Her Visa) so you can quickly identify the card you want to use for your purchase.
Redesigned My Account Page
Account page redesign includes product thumbnails for each order and a simple selection process for shipping and payment methods.
Redesigned Saved Payment Screen
Create an easier shopping experience by storing your payment types, organized with easy-to-view icons.
Saved Payment Custom Color Theming
Do you use more than one payment type for shopping? Customize the color of each of your payment types!
Upon purchase, our new UPS package tracking widget (below) shows you how many days, hours or minutes until your package should be delivered. You can track as many orders as you would like, and as an added bonus you can track any UPS packages, not just those from Zappos.
Intuitive User Interface
Our Android app now looks and works well on all Android-powered platforms due to the responsive design we incorporated. The new product pages are buttery smooth and our tablet app features fancy animations as well. We went out of our way to make sure that UI controls are positioned just where you'd expect them - right under your fingers - no matter what device you're using the app on. We’ve also made it easier to expand our high-res photos to full-screen: just tap on the photo with two fingers or hit the Expand-O-Matic button in the action bar and voilá.
By working with some new features in the Android operating system, we're able to store your account on your device instead of requiring a PIN entry, and we can log you in automagically. Of course, you can always log out if you'd prefer not have your account stored.
Fast and Easy Checkout
Our entire checkout flow has been re-envisioned from the ground up. We spent hours watching our users work through the checkout process and found several places where we could make things better… so we did!
Combined, these changes make the checkout process much more fluid and easier than before.
How to Get the New Zappos App for Android and Kindle
The version 3.0 Zappos App for Android is available in the Google Play store and Amazon Market place today! Download it and give it a try!
Gucci watches are made in Switzerland and bear the hallmark of Swiss precision and accuracy. The house's manufacturing entity – situated in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the shrine of clockwork craftsmanship – has managed to harmoniously combine state of the art technology and traditional watch-making in creating cutting-edge timepieces.
The positioning of Gucci in the watch industry reflects the expectations of its sophisticated and exclusive clientele: each timepiece is a statement of excellence and is in line with the overall aesthetic and quality standards of the house. Diamond setting is an example of this fine expertise: watches are studded with high quality diamonds carefully checked to create that perfect and exclusive look.
Gucci began developing watches in the early 1970s, soon becoming one of the world's leading producers and distributors of fine timepieces. Now under the creative direction of Frida Giannini, the watch business benefits from Gucci's rich heritage, design leadership and Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship.
