Nearly 100 years of Gucci, on display in Shanghai
This week in Shanghai, Gucci opened Gucci Cosmos, an immersive experience that takes visitors through eight revolving doors — a replica of London’s Savoy Hotel, where the brand’s founder, Guccio Gucci, first conceived the idea of building a luggage business — and leads them through a series of rooms filled with historical artifacts, photographs, and decades of gowns, suits, and stilettos. Designed by British artist Es Devlin, the exhibit consists of eight rooms, or “worlds,” as the brand calls them, including one called Zoetrope, a look at Gucci’s equestrian roots through helmets, boots and loafers, and another called Eden, which presents a timeline of the 1966 Flora print by the artist and illustrator Vittorio Accornero de Testa. Originally created for a silk scarf worn by Princess Grace of Monaco, the print has since been adopted and adapted by many of the house’s designers. The show is curated by Italian fashion historian and critic Maria Luisa Frisa, who combed through the company’s nearly 100-year archive to fill the exhibit with clothing, as well as curiosities such as a fan of ostrich feathers designed by former creative director Alessandro Michele and an electric guitar from the Tom Ford era. The West Bund Art Center in Shanghai is just the first stop for the exhibition, which the brand plans to relocate to other locations around the world. Gucci Cosmos is on display in Shanghai through June 25 gucci. com.
The baker Julyanna Ortega grew up in Todos Santos, Mexico, the beach town of Baja California Sur that has long drawn travelers who spend their days surfing, browsing art galleries, and eating fresh seafood. She left to study international relations in Tijuana, then lived in San Diego and Los Angeles before returning to Baja. In 2017, Ortega founded Taller 17, a bakery and coffee shop in downtown Todos Santos that sells gooey blondies and fragrant cinnamon buns in a space just big enough for a small kitchen, display cases for her pastries, and an espresso machine. She set up a few small tables outside, but longed for a place where patrons could sit and stay for a while. In March, after two years of construction, Ortega opened a natural wine bar called La Confianza in a former apartment around the corner. Inside, one wall is covered in pink tiles and terracotta-colored lamps hang above the marble bar; outside, the patio is surrounded by sea-green walls. Much of the low-intervention wine on offer comes from women-owned Mexican labels such as Mina Penélope and Pouya, while the food menu, overseen by Chef Miguel Gomez, focuses on small plates of local produce, such as a tostada with scallops, geoduck and cricket or marlin croquettes. For dessert, there’s ice cream made at Taller 17. instagram.com/laconfianza.ts.

Sunglasses made with the environment in mind
In 2020, with wanderlust on their minds, three London-based friends decided to launch a clothing brand that would target summer travelers. Adam Shapiro, Dan May and Gautam Rajani, who grew up in New Orleans, Cape Town and Mumbai respectively, know exactly how to dress in warm weather. Their menswear label, SMR Days, launched with shirts, shorts and trousers in beach-ready cotton and linen. Handwoven jute tote bags followed soon after and from May 3rd they will be adding a range of sunglasses to their offering. The brand tries to use only sustainable materials, so for their shades they turned to British swimming and eyewear brand Prism London, whose Marylebone studio is just around the corner from their own studio and whose high-quality bio-acetate frames are largely derived from plant materials. such as wood pulp. The collection consists of three silhouettes in rich hues, each named after a summer beauty spot: there’s the round-framed Mykonos; the pilots of St. Tropez; and a square style called Ibiza. $295, smrdays.com.

In Hollywood, Peter McGough gives his first solo show
The artist Peter McGough worked for decades with his then-partner David McDermott as the duo of McDermott and McGough, using vintage production methods such as cyanotype and palladium printing to create historic-looking photographs and paintings. Now McGough is opening his first solo show at Future Perfect’s Goldwyn House in Los Angeles. Set in a 1916 home once occupied by film producer Samuel Goldwyn, the gallery is appropriate for the show, as McGough often returns to Hollywood’s Golden Age for inspiration. This exhibition includes nine new oil paintings with cobwebs in which blossoms and butterflies are entangled. At first you might think that the images are taken from a Victorian children’s picture book. But a closer inspection of the canvases’ phytomorphic text reveals stark phrases like “A True Story Based on Lies” and “Empty & Meaningless.” McGough views the web as metaphors for material success. As he puts it, “We’re constantly reaching for this sparkling fizz to fill the void of emptiness.” The exhibit also features 14 found stones emblazoned with an anti-gay insult written in colorful scrollwork — defiant rebuttals, McGough says, of everything the world has hurled at him. Forgotten Lore can be seen by appointment until June 16 thefutureperfect.com.
Chloé’s creative director, Gabriela Hearst, is a longtime fan of French swimwear company Eres and admires the streamlined, flattering fit of their suits. Now, in collaboration with the brand’s creative director, Marie-Paule Minchelli, she has designed a capsule collection consisting of three one-piece and five mix-and-match bikini sets in neutral tones. Chloé’s signature touches – one leotard uses C-shaped hardware normally seen on Chloé accessories to create ruffles at the waist; another has broderie anglaise (delicate cutouts combined with embroidery) and ruffles on the shoulders – adorn Eres’ body-sculpting Peau Douce material. “What made it more impactful was the sustainable development; it’s made from castor oil-based polyamide,” says Hearst, which is a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional polyamides made from crude oil. To complete a beach wardrobe, Chloé’s summer range includes embroidered shirts and linen wrap skirts, as well as eyelet flip flops and leather-framed sunglasses. To carry it all, the fashion house sells a woven tote bag made in collaboration with Kenyan fair trade brand Mifuko. The Chloé x Eres collection will be available from May 5 at Chloé and Eres boutiques and online. chloe. com.
