      Scott Craigie. To laymen they're known as window dressers. But aesthete Scott Craigie calls himself a display manager. As the man in charge of windows and in - store displays for exclusive Hazelton Lanes, Craigie creates ever-changing window fantasies for a dozen boutiques. Inspired by travel and unusual props - anything can be used as a prop, from newspapers to antiques - Craigie likes to create windows that draw attention to the merchandise without being distracting.

      Frank Crane: The opera singer turned antique dealer was tired of the urban jungle so he retreated into the woods with his wife, Verena, and built himself a log cabin. And you can see the cabin Frank built! It's cathedral sized. Just the thing for housing such treasures as the Chinese tomb figure from the T'ang period (618 to 906 A.D.) which he is holding. These things are on trust, he says.
