Paul Mayer's luxuriously, comfortable designs keep women coming back for multiple -- even dozens -- of pairs. Classic, yet contemporary and always comfortable, his shoes are an addiction that we highly recommend. A staple of the Paul Mayer collection is the simple ballet-flat, with true ballerina construction for a perfect fit that comes in a variety of colors and materials. A cult favorite is the cozy, a flat with lavender-scent infused soles adding style and fragrance to collector's closets as Paul's designs emerge in sophisticated design incarnations season after season in the most incredible hues, textures and modern innovations in luxury footwear because we know firsthand how incredibly brilliant he is. Mayer founded the brand in 2004 with partner, Jeff Levy. All shoes in the line are manufactured in Spain’s Valencia region, along the Mediterranean coast by a skilled staff of 12 artisans. They craft each pair of shoes with an old-world attention to detail that includes in-house embroidery, quilting and stitching as well as custom tanned leather. This allows the brand to cater to each retailer’s specific demands in with timely and consistent alacrity, with orders completed in an unheard-of 3 to 5 weeks. When not in New York, Paul can be found traveling to his myriad of stores across the country meeting his loyal clientele or vacationing in his favorite spot, the Royal Hawaiian on Waikiki Beach.

The Rolls-Royce Black Badge Wraith makes its official global drive debut to a select group of media, VIPs and executives from around the world on Sunday, July 24. The group will be hosted by Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Encore and Wynn Las Vegas, which also boasts the largest fleet of Rolls-Royce Phantoms in North America and SPEEDVEGAS, the brand new, first-of-its-kind, designed and built supercar track experience. The debut will take place at SPEEDVEGAS, the award-winning $30 million motorsports complex, where the Black Badge Wraith will be driven on its Formula One-inspired 1.5 mile track. 

Rolls-Royce describes the Black Badge as "an aspect of the brand that appeals to those people who are elusive and defiant, the risk takers and disruptors who break the rules and laugh in the face of convention. They play hard and they change the world. Technically and aesthetically Black Badge is the alter ego of Rolls-Royce: darker, more assertive, more confident and powerful and more demanding.” Black Badge Wraith is the most powerful Rolls-Royce in the world, delivering a phenomenal 624bhp (465kw), this car is already the most powerful Rolls-Royce in the world. But with engineering enhancements Black Badge delivers even more excitement. Torque is increased to 870Nm, handling is more dynamic and contact with the road intensified for a thrilling driving experience.

Attendees will be the first to witness the Black Badge Wraith's stunning performance as it drives around SPEEDVEGAS track during this complete Las Vegas experience. The Black Badge Wraith's performance will be put to the test as its driven on a track that features 12 sweeping turns, 15 degree banked turns, 60 feet of total elevation change and a half-mile straightaway. In addition, attendees will receive exclusive information regarding the car's engineering and driving characteristics from Rolls-Royce Motor Cars executives and engineering team.

During their stay in Las Vegas, the group will experience Wynn's unique clubs featuring the hottest entertainment, cutting edge technology and the most luxurious spaces that have put Wynn on the map as the ultimate party destination. XS Nightclub features the newly unveiled, multi-million dollar redesign that includes state-of-the-art technology and top-of-the-line production elements like pyrotechnics, LEDs, lasers and an in-the-round DJ booth that can be seen from anywhere in the club. The plush indoor atmosphere of Surrender Nightclub radiates with energy and the intimate setting is embodied by the club’s signature icon: a 90-foot snake that winds over the back bar. The newest nightclub at Wynn, Intrigue, offers 14,000 square feet of stunning interiors and high-energy excitement bathed in state-of-the-art light and sound.

"We had the opportunity to go anywhere in the world but we chose Las Vegas as the city that best suits the Black Badge lifestyle. Wynn Las Vegas features the world's finest in entertainment while SPEEDVEGAS' track is perfectly suited to show the world’s media what the Black Badge Wraith is capable of. We're looking forward to an unforgettable launch," says Richard Carter, global director of communications, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
