“Who wants a hot croissant?” asked the actor Mario Cantone, reprising his character Anthony Marentino from the HBO show “Sex and the City.”Mr. Cantone, brandishing an apron and a cake server, added an emphasis on the word “hot” and wagged his eyebrows, turning the otherwise ordinary tray of freshly baked pastries into an innuendo. A group of fans in front of him — most of whom were women with their phones at the ready — giggled and took photos.

Tonight, when Cameron Winter performs the first of two sold out shows at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, there will be no opening act. Nor will Winter be joined by any backing musicians. It’s just him. That’s in a few hours. For now, Winter’s in the backyard of an empty bar, his tall frame is folded into a small metal chair. He seems pained. Maybe he’s nervous. Or maybe he’s always like this. It’s been four months since Winter released his debut solo album, Heavy Metal.

She bought the pieces off Etsy, from a woman who was raised Amish.

People actually do wear trench coats in London. It’s kind of like a New Yorker wearing a T-shirt that says “I ♡ New York.” (This looks good by the way.)

What’s the connection between fashion and health? At first glance, it’s hard to say. Fashion workers spend long hours at the studio or atelier, travel for weeks at a time, spend late nights out. Models are sometimes not jacked. There are fewer good gyms in Manhattan than, say, in Los Angeles, and stateside restaurants rely more on vegetable oils than those in Milan. But if you go deeper, there is a very real Venn overlap.
