On the runway, Alton Mason glides with rhythm, allowing his spindly body to pulse with precision. His expressions exude swagger—a slight smirk, a dalliance with his eyes—or sometimes, he does what’s in his spirit, like when he did a backflip at the Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2019 show after the late Virgil Abloh asked him to improvise. On the page, his pliancy is also apparent: elongated backbends, nimble shoulders, seemingly always knowing what to do with his arms.

For the last 160 years, Frette’s Italian fabrics have adorned historic spaces throughout the world, such as St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City, the renowned Orient Express, and, last spring, Milan’s Palazzina Appiani in collaboration with Thom Browne. Now, for the luxury linen brand’s latest collaboration, it has partnered with Portrait Milano, the newest hotel from the Lungarno Collection, located on the site of Milan’s old Archiepiscopal Seminary.

The tiger, with its fierce gaze and commanding presence, is a guardian spirit—an emblem of survival, courage, and the wild essence of the Amazon itself. In Cecilia Vicuña’s painting Hombre tigre, 2024, a human figure emerges from within the big cat, suggesting a symbiotic relationship, as if humanity’s very essence is forged in the embrace of the jungle’s raw vitality.

David Altmejd’s sculptures appear as if they are continuously morphing: a man into a rabbit, a woman into a killer whale, a swan into a saxophone. They are mercurial yet fixed in material and appear to be many things at once. Depending on the angle of La métamorphose du symbole, 2024, (“The metamorphosis of the symbol”) a two-headed swan’s form is either pregnant with an egg or the skull of a goat. But what I want to know is if works transform the artist, too?

A figure gazes upward into the opening of a rising palazzo, while a lamp hangs centrally before the ascending marble floors, its curling tentacles illuminated by small light bulbs. The light fixture, crafted by Venetian designer Gino Sarfatti in 1958, is captured in a black-and-white photograph and recalls a past time.

In the fall of 1988, Issey Miyake presented an exhibition at Paris’ Musée des Arts Décoratifs titled “Issey Miyake A-ŪN.” The sweeping panorama of the late Japanese designer’s work focused on his pioneering exploration of material. By 1993, Miyake had patented his “garment pleating” process and launched Pleats Please Issey Miyake as a standalone brand.

Brad Ogbonna is a photographer’s photographer. Twin Cities-raised and New York-based with a deep connection to his Nigerian ancestry, the documentarian and portraitist seems to have done it all––captured icons like Zendaya and Barack Obama, and spent years depicting the cultural and visual landscapes of the Caribbean and West Africa. Another thing Ogbonna has done––pick up a pasta recipe on his travels through South Carolina—a unique clam and sausage pasta recipe that he made his own.

Amy Verner has a Francophile sensibility––at least when it comes to making omelets and choosing where to live. The Torontonian journalist studied media criticism at New York University, returned to her native Canada to gain experience as a fashion reporter, and then moved to Paris where she now resides…and dreams of cooking like le chef de cuisine.

Andrew J. GreeneAndrew J. Greene is a jokester, a provocateur who twists savoir with the banal. Stainless steel sculptures of glitzy cocktails in chemical hues rotate on sleek rods, and toy vending machines vow to spit out a variety of tchotchkes, from skyscraper-shaped salt and pepper shakers to tiny Uncle Sam statuettes.

Daniel Humm isn’t afraid of change. In fact, he chases it, almost to a fault. It’s why he turned his world-renowned, highly decorated restaurant Eleven Madison Park into a food kitchen at the height of Covid and, in 2021, to much fanfare, switched to a totally plant-based menu. “That’s the big question: Why do I need to change it if it’s working?” Humm wonders with a sheepish grin. But change is very much in the DNA of Eleven Madison Park.
