1. A WOMAN’S WORLD: BRIANNA CAPOZZI
Provocative, seductive, and slyly subversive, Brianna Capozzi’s work captures the delicious contradictions of modern womanhood. Her new Rizzoli monograph, which has a foreword by Chloë Sevigny, gathers a decade of portraits—featuring Bella Hadid, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kim Kardashian, and more—into something sharper than a greatest-hits package. It’s playful, political, and deeply attuned to how femininity is performing, provoking, and evolving.

2. CITY STEPPERS: PRADA
Te2ch-y, sexy, and oh so ’90s, the Speedrock is Prada’s latest addition to its much-hyped footwear line-up. Sleek nylon and suede or leather details come together for a lightweight, elegant sneaker ready to make some serious moves. The minimalist design and gorp-y details make it a versatile shoe, ready to take on outdoor adventures and city escapades with ease.

3. A LATTA LOOK: ECKHAUS LATTA
Eckhaus Latta’s latest outing proves the cult New York label can do sleek just as well as kooky. Filmy layers, workwear pants, and peekaboo cutouts nod to ’90s downtown grit, but filtered through a sharper, sexier lens. Arty, unfussy, and very now. J’adore.

4. BUCKET LIST: VERSACE
Seen in Dario Vitale’s first, and last, Versace collection, the Pivot bag is a study in Italian swagger. Offered in buttery leather or nubby suede, its slouchy bucket shape is finished with Medusa hardware and a flash of gold chain. It’s maximalist ease, with maximum drama. Molto Italiano.

5. WE’VE GOT A CRUSH: BERNARD JAMES
Brooklyn-based jeweler Bernard James has built a cult following, and a CFDA Emerging Designer nomination, on refined, seductive pieces worn by Lewis Hamilton, Teyana Taylor, and Brad Pitt. His new Crushed collection features hand-worked links with deliberately uneven edges, exploring duality, imperfection, and craftsmanship. We’re officially smitten.

6. PLAIN AS BLACK & WHITE: OMEGA
Omega flips its most legendary watch with two inverted black-and-white Speedmaster Moonwatches. Glossy step dials, lacquered subdials, and a black ceramic bezel sharpen the legend into something sleeker… and sexier. Familiar, yes, but with a rebellious edge.

7. CITY SCULPTOR: NOGUCHI’S NEW YORK AT THE NOGUCHI MUSEUM
From age 17 until his death, the designer- architect Isamu Noguchi called New York home, and shaped it in return. This exhibition traces his public works across the city, from landmarks like Red Cube on Broadway to visionary, unrealized proposals for gardens and playgrounds. Together, they reveal Noguchi’s belief in art’s power to transform the city’s social and physical fabric.

8. MODERN MAGPIE: COACH
Stuart Vevers’ spring Coach collection hits the sweet spot between lived-in and polished. Think shrunken leather jackets, oversized blazers, swooshy pants, and a joyful tangle of necklaces. It’s toss-it-on- and-go downtown style, perfected, and anchored, naturally, by standout bags, including an oversized accordion clutch and a sleek cylindrical shoulder bag. Call it elevated ’90s grunge.

9. HARD LAUNCH: SARAH LUCAS AT THE NEW MUSEUM
After a two-year pause, the New Museum roars back—and it’s not playing it safe. British provocateur Sarah Lucas takes over the plaza with Venus Victoria: a monumental female figure perched atop a washing machine, rendered in brass and concrete. Witty, confrontational, and unmistakably Lucas, it skewers gendered archetypes while staking a bold claim on public space.

10. SADDLE UP: DIOR
Inspired by Dior’s famed Saddle bag, perfumer Francis Kurkdjian reimagines leather through a luminous, modern lens. Creamy and rich, yet softened with unexpected florals, Cuir Saddle wears close to the skin. It’s sensual, contemporary, and quietly addictive.
