Fendi Pops Into NYC Soho for 25th Anniversary Baguette Celebration

Fendi [IG] has popped into New York City for a holiday celebration of the Winter Capsule 2022 - 25th Anniversary Baguette Collection. Located at 90 Prince Street in Soho, the shop will be open until December 23.

Created by Silvia Venturini Fendi in 1997, the baguette bag became a phenom attached to Sarah Jessica Parker and ‘Sex and the City’, who famously said “This is not a bag—it’s a Baguette.”

In addition to providing color inspo, the LVMH Tiffany & Co brand was brought into the anniversary celebration to provide diamond baguettes for the Fendi baguettes. The constant cross-pollination of the LVMH brands always adds an extra bit of verve to these events.

'Hebrews to Negroes' Is Here. My Biblical Map of The Levant Is Research-Ready

'Hebrews to Negroes' Is Here. My Biblical Map of The Levant Is Research-Ready

Anne here. The good news is that the book — made into a film — ‘Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America’ did arrive. NBA Nets star Kyrie Irving, with backup from Kanye West, did put the book in overdrive.

For me, I want the book, because Anne is not interested in research with no footnotes — or an ability to pause and Google a statement just made, against other research resources. This is how I read most books.

Kanye’s statement that he has never read a book is ironic. Ye compared reading books to eating brussel sprouts, while owning a school Donda Academy. Kanye’s school is now closed due to his antisemitism and the rebuke and resignations by Jews involved with Donda Academy’s curriculum development.

LOEWE Perfumes Opens First US Store at Bergdorf Goodman NYC

The new fragrance boutique at Bergdorf Goodman showcases the full collection of LOEWE Botanical Rainbow fragrances and the LOEWE Home Scents range.

Center stage in the installation is fine art such as an installation of Japanese artist Kunié Sugiura’s conceptual photo-painting artwork ‘Mum Above Orange’ (1978).

In August, 2022 Anne of Carversville took a deep dive into the world of LOEWE Perfumes with a special focus on parfumer Nuria Cruelle’s background and fragrance philosophy.

It’s almost as if the LOEWE images are speaking to us directly, with no intermediary in this brand relationship. The approach feels so very private and personal. Cruelle uses the phrase “modern equlibrium’, and it resonates.
