With a bounty of $6 rings, $70 hand-carved earrings and handbags under $200, former Etro designer Emily Levine looks to make her own, irreverent mark on fashion and accessories. The 27-year-old this week unveiled a Manhattan pop-up shop, introducing her namesake concept to New Yorkers. Her brand offers mid-level-priced jewelry, handbags and decor — much of it produced by female artisans in rural India.

He has also taken the stage by storm over the past couple of years, starring in Broadway’s revival of “Spamalot” and now the revival of “Once Upon a Mattress,” which also had a stint at New York City Center in the winter.
