1 Louis Vuitton Celebrates Louis 200 Exhibition and Savoir-Faire Studio Openings

Who: Louis Vuitton

What: Bi-coastal parties to celebrate the opening of “200 Trunks, 200 Visionaries: The Exhibition” in Beverly Hills, Calif. and the house’s new savoir-faire studio on Shelter Island

Where: 468 North Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, Calif. and at a private home on Shelter Island

Why: Louis Vuitton knows how to throw a party. Correction: make that two parties, on two separate coasts, on the same night. The storied French house fêted new activations in Beverly Hills and the Hamptons, drawing celebs from Emma Chamberlain to Ava DuVernay and Tracey Anderson. On the West Coast, guests scoped out “200 Trunks, 200 Visionaries: The Exhibition,” featuring exclusive trunks designed by “visionaries” including BTS, Gloria Steinem, and, yes, even The Simpsons. Further east, the East End’s fashion elite attended a sunset party at Le Bilboquet in Sag Harbor to revel in the opening of LV’s new savoir-faire studio on Shelter Island, which houses some of its rarest and most exclusive pieces, perhaps unsurprisingly on view by appointment only.

The “bold and vibrant” space, according to co-founder Karl Lindman, features handpicked furniture by Josef Frank, created for interior design company Svenskt Tenn, that pays homage to the brand’s Nordic roots. A little slice of Sweden in Soho, why not?

Who: Chanel and Lincoln Center

What: The BAAND Together Dance Festival

Where: Lincoln Center, NYC

Why: Chanel wants you to dance like nobody’s watching this summer. The French luxury house is once again teaming up with Lincoln Center to bring the BAAND Together Dance Festival to New York City in August. This time around, five of the most iconic dance companies—Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, American Ballet Theatre, Ballet Hispánico, Dance Theatre of Harlem, and New York City Ballet—will come together for a (free) dance festival, an art form that has been a central part of Chanel’s history for over a century. “Last year’s BAAND Together Festival was a resounding success, proof that New York audiences are excited for their beloved dance companies to return to the stage,” the artistic directors of the companies said in a joint statement to ELLE.com. “This year, we will go beyond performing side by side and do so together, as a unified dance family, through an exciting new work by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa. This is a testament to our commitment for building new avenues of cultural innovation, dialogue, and accessibility for our incredible city.”

Who: Max Mara

What: Resort 2023 runway show

Where: Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, Lisbon, Portugal

Why: Max Mara brought its latest destination runway show to Lisbon, home to innovative and romantic ideas of art, fashion, and culture. But mainly, the brand is committed to supporting the beautiful Calouste Gulbenkian Museum by helping with renovations of its 18th-century French art galleries. The stunning Brutalist architecture and lush gardens of the museum provided the perfect backdrop for the designs, which drew inspiration from a Nikias Skapinakis painting found in revolutionary poet Natália Correia’s collection. Correia’s modern version of femininity was a huge influence throughout, seen especially in colorful and flouncy floor-length skirts. The accessories pay homage to lenços dos namorados, or “sweetheart handkerchiefs,” which Portuguese lovers used to sew for their significant others. These affectionate embroideries are reimagined as crystal brooches and prints; local artisans will also work alongside the brand to create T-shirts emblazoned with Max Mara’s take on love notes. These efforts all illustrate the overall message of the collection: vai lenço feliz. Translation: go scarf happy (and do it in style).

37 Salvatore Ferragamo Introduces Nomadic Stories Footwear Capsule 38 Moss and Lam Launch Nido Collection with Holly Hunt

Who: Moss and Lam

What: Nido table collection

Where: Available online at Holly Hunt

Why: Moss and Lam, the Canadian design firm founded by Deborah Moss and Edward Lam, is responsible for some of luxury retail’s most stunning spaces.

Now, thanks to a partnership with Holly Hunt, you too can add a touch of artistry to your own environs with Moss and Lam’s furniture collection. The latest range of tables, Nido (Italian for “nest”), takes its inspiration from birds’ nests. Crafted with hand forged steel bases and either Apollo or Negresco marble tops, they are guaranteed to be the conversation piece of any room.
