Fame Game Fame has certainly not been fleeting for pop artist Andy Warhol (above, “Self-Portrait,” 1967), whose fanciful remark, “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes,” has become reality, thanks to Facebook and Twitter. Warhol, who died in 1987, may have been an accidental prophet, but there is no accident about his lasting impact on succeeding generations. Juxtaposing 45 of Warhol’s paintings, sculpture and films with 100 works by 60 other artists—from Chuck Close to Cindy Sherman to Vik Muniz—a major exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art explores ways in which creative forces today rethink, respond or react to themes important to the master, including celebrity. » Regarding Warhol: Sixty Artists, Fifty Years, Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Ave., 212.535.7710, Sept. 18-Dec. 31

The program ends with another Respighi favorite, The Pines of Rome, but not before violin virtuoso Itzhak Perlman has joined the orchestra onstage to perform the romantic and introspective “Méditation” from Jules Massenet’s opera Thaïs and Fritz Kreisler’s sprightly and extroverted Tambourin Chinois. » New York Philharmonic, Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center, Columbus Ave., at W. 64th St., 212.875.5656, Sept. 27

Ancient Art, Modern Times China. The nation’s name is synonymous with ceramics and fine porcelain, with some of the most sought-after pieces originating in Jingdezhen in the Jiangxi province for more than 1,000 years. The influence of Jingdezhen on modern and contemporary ceramicists is the subject of an exhibit at the China Institute Gallery. Among the artists represented is nonagenarian Zhu Dequn (b. 1920), an Abstract Expressionist equally adept when he paints porcelain (left, “Let Life Arise and Persist From the Tip of a Brush,” 2007) as he is when he applies oil paints to canvas.

behind the curtain news » by Francis Lewis

A Musical Muse As opening night approaches, Christopher Curtis— composer, lyricist and co-writer (with Thomas Meehan) of the book for the new Broadway musical Chaplin (left, Rob McClure in the title role)—is surprisingly calm. “If you focus on the moment, what is there to freak out about?” he reasons. He is confident that the life of the great silent film star is ripe for a musical. “There’s a rhythm to his movement,” he enthuses. But Chaplin was also an Oscar-winning musician, who scored all his movies. Hardly intimidated, Curtis is inspired. “His sound was based around the violin because he played it. There was always a yearning and a poignancy in his scores; they’re very orchestral. My songs incorporate that lushness.” They also have an early-20th-century period feel and “a little bit of contemporary flair here and there,” especially in the big ballads, which are soul-searching arias in the manner of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Stephen Schwartz, two tunesmiths Curtis admires. » Chaplin, Ethel Barrymore Theatre, 243 W. 47th St., 212.239.6200

in a bold move for a nonprofit off-broadway company, signature theatre commissioned Frank Gehry, one of the world’s most revered architects, to design its stunning, $66-million multistage performance venue, which opened in January. christened the pershing square signature center (below, interior and exterior), it occupies an entire city block and contains three theaters, a studio theater and a rehearsal studio, as well as a café and a bookstore open to both theatergoers and the general public. thinking big has always been a hallmark of signature. since 1991, it has presented works by a pantheon of celebrated playwrights, from edward albee to Lanford wilson. this month, pulitzer prize winner sam shepard premieres Heartless on the center’s irene diamond stage, while athol Fugard’s The Train Driver pulls into the romulus Linney courtyard theatre. » Signature theatre, the Pershing Square Signature center, 480 w. 42nd St., 212.244.7529

the other side of the equation, playing basketball and soccer; she only became airborne when hired for the lead role of campbell. “when i first went up in the air, it was terrifying,” she recalls. hearing her describe a “full down” stunt certainly induces fear in the listener. “two guys, extending their arms and holding my feet, launch me into the air. i twist coming down, and they catch me. i have to credit them: they do a lot of the hard work,” she adds modestly. » Bring It On: The Musical, St. James theatre, 246 w. 44th St., 212.239.6200

Going Nuts

Round, chestnut-brown and thick-shelled, hazelnuts—also known as filberts—are VINs (very important nuts) right now. In fact, September has been proclaimed National Hazelnut Month, and to celebrate, Executive Chef Paul Corsentino of The National has teamed up with Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur) to create a special menu of cocktails, appetizers, entrées and desserts that utilize the meaty little fruit of the hazel tree. Lobster and hazelnut canneloni (right), for example, features pasta dough made with hazelnut flour and hazelnut oil; a filling that includes lobster meat, Granny Smith apple, rainbow chard and roasted hazelnuts; and salisify puree, cider vinaigrette and a hazelnut glaze. » The National, 557 Lexington Ave., 212.715.2400

Peruvian Landscape Haute peruvian restaurant La mar cebichería peruana features 5,000 kernels of corn suspended on piano wire, forming a chandelier; another 8,000 are individually pinned to a wall for decoration. in this inventively appointed, sprawling duplex, executive chef Victoriano López, in concert with renowned chef/owner gastón acurio, focuses on the bright flavors, colors and textures of fresh fish. to make a variety of sprightly ceviches, he briefly marinates raw fluke, salmon, yellowfin tuna, hamachi, scallops and other seafood in leche de tigre (aji-pepper-spiked citrus juice). one of several traditional peruvian potato casseroles on the menu, causa chalaca (left) is a mini alp of fried calamari, avocado, quail egg and cherry tomatoes on a base of whipped potatoes, with criolla (spicy yellow chili) and huacatay (aromatic green herb) salsas. » La Mar Cebichería Peruana, 11 Madison Ave., 212.612.3388

INSIDE FINE ART GALLERY HASTED KRAEUTLER SARAH HASTED & JOSEPH KRAEUTLER

Owners of Hasted Kraeutler, a contemporary art gallery that specializes in photography is located in the heart of New York’s Chelsea art district. Sarah and Joseph share their favorite art works from the gallery’s current exhibition, with Korean sculptor, Kwang Young Chun & from this year’s previous exhibition with fine art photographer, Nick Brandt.

KWANG YOUNG CHUN

Kwang Young Chun Installation view

Kwang Young Chun is a Korean master sculptor who is world renowned for his process of composing structures with thousands of small triangles, each individually hand molded in paper and strung together one by one. The artist gathers mulberry paper from old books with Korean texts and dyes the papers into many different shades with teas and flowers. Chun’s complicated and meticulous sculptures are stunning!

NICK BRANDT

Nick Brandt, Elephant Drinking, Amboseli, 2007

Nick Brandt’s photographs feature stunning images of endangered African animals, which he photographs “in the same way I would a human being, watching for the right ‘pose’ that hopefully will best capture his or her spirit,” he says. Always “moving in close” he never uses a telephoto lens, because it is too impersonal. Prices of the photographs from the exhibition start at $4,500. Hasted Kraeutler is open to the public Tuesday Saturday, 11 am - 6 pm.

Romantic Reptiles Modern baubles may boast more bling, but antique jewelry sparkles with symbolic meaning. Case in point: an 1830 English 18-karat gold and blue enamel bracelet (above). It is not only a reflection of the Regency period’s mania for ancient Egyptian styles, but also an expression of affection. A pair of serpents entwined in a continuous circle have long been an emblem of eternal love. Diamonds and rubies, which adorn the reptiles’ heads and eyes, represent good humor and reconciliation—two solid marital virtues. Certainly, this bracelet’s past owner must have been aware of all the sentimental symbolism. The piece’s heart-shaped lock, which serves as its clasp, was surely designed to hold a miniature portrait. But this one, in fact, carries a few strands of hair—no doubt belonging to a long-ago wearer’s beloved. » Macklowe Gallery, 667 Madison Ave., 212.644.6400

Many a method—and material—is used by artists today, but Kwang Young Chun is known for a particularly painstaking approach: His sculptures consist of thousands of tiny foam triangles, wrapped in mulberry paper from Korean books and tinted with tea and fruit dyes. Through the act of sticking them onto canvas, Kwang says, “I express how basic units of information can create harmony and conflict ... expressing the troubles of modern man.” Some of the earlier works in his solo show do resemble a desolate lunar landscape. But with later pieces, such as “Aggregation 12–MY027” (left, 2012), colors begin to creep in, like “finding hope in an unknown world,” as Kwang notes. » Hasted Kraeutler, 537 W. 24th St., 212.627.0006, Sept. 6-Oct. 20

Reality Check Abstract Realism: It sounds like a parody of an artistic movement. But it is a real, if disparate school, one that celebrates the sheer power of paint, yet seeks to show a recognizable image. The five artists, prints of whose works are on display in the show Abstract Realism, fall at different points on the representational spectrum. At one end, collagist Freddy Reitz, whose “New York Flag” almost melts into a red, white and blue blur; at the other, painter Gus Heinze’s “875,” a graphic close-up of a building facade. And in between is Joe McDermott’s “The Secret (Diptychon)” (left, 2012), whose comic-book style invites viewers to literally read between the huge dots. » LUMAS, 362 W. Broadway, 212.219.9497, Sept. 14-30

Up on the Roof

a mexican elixir

Elevated approximately 400 feet above street level, Sky Room Times Square (left) gives a whole new meaning to the term “high roller.” After ascending 33 floors, revelers step out of the elevator and into a bi-level lounge believed to be the city’s highest rooftop roost. Awaiting them is a sleek bar with floor-toceiling windows, neon-lit coffered ceilings and coffee-colored sofas. Then, a quick climb up a spiral staircase leads to even loftier pleasures: A roof deck equipped with curtained cabanas, potted trees and chic, white daybeds. Expansive views of Midtown and the Hudson River act as a backdrop to cocktails, such as the aptly named Mile-High (Bombay Sapphire gin, peach liqueur, Chambord, prosecco). A retractable glass ceiling ensures that the skyline can be soaked up no matter the season. Atop such a perch, spirits are bound to soar. » Sky Room Times Square, 330 W. 40th St., 33rd fl., 212.380.1195

soaring spirits ... bubbly served by the bottle or glass ... tequila reimagined in a Mexican monastery ...

Comedian George Carlin once said, “One tequila, two tequila, three tequila ... floor.” That Mexican elixir, so oft associated with all-night fiestas that continue until late mañana, gets a haute face-lift at Mayahuel, a temple of tequila where the potent potion is treated—and mixed —with reverence. In a space echoing a Mexican monastery, with dark wood,

Bubbles and Flutes Early Romans may have been the first to plant vineyards in the Champagne region of France, but it was New Yorkers who built a Midtown shrine to the bubbly beverage born of those crops. Winston’s Champagne Bar (below) is a destination spot for collectors and enthusiasts seeking fine and rare champagnes. The bi-level salon provides an intimate, old-timey experience—complete with Jazz Age tunes, glass chandeliers and a yellow Schumann piano. Private tastings and educational tutorials are also offered. Bubbly is served by the bottle or glass and mixed into cocktails such as the French 76 (which also includes muddled lemon, pureed pomegranate, Bluecoat gin). After a few flutes of Dom Perignon 2003 (at $90 a pop), you just may feel absolutely ebullient. » Winston’s Champagne Bar, Gansevoort Park Avenue, 420 Park Ave. So., 212.929.9070

Measured Style Even the most time-pressed exec can look well-pressed, courtesy of Alton Lane, which combines the old tradition of bespoke clothing with new technology. The firm’s antiques-strewn showroom contains a 3-D body scanner that takes 40 measurements in 30 seconds. Gents then choose stylistic details for shirts or suits (tip: High lapels are hot for fall jackets) and select from 5,500 fabrics. Yes, there really are 50 shades of gray. » Alton Lane, 11 W. 25th St., 646.896.1212

The Northeastern golf season may be entering the final round, but city duffers who like to do business on the links needn’t worry. Chelsea Piers’ Golf Club offers several options for outings with clients or colleagues, including two events spaces—the Ryder Cup Room, which can host 125, and the more intimate Players Room—and 52 outdoor hitting stalls (above) equipped with automatic ball tee-up systems overlooking the Hudson River. Also available: two full-swing simulators, which virtually recreate various championship courses— so golfers can play a round anywhere from Pebble Beach to Sea Island, without ever leaving Manhattan. » The Golf Club at Chelsea Piers, Pier 59, W.

Corporate Décor “More than any other visual thing, artwork gives a sense of a company’s personality,” says Michael Ingbar, president of MFI, an advisory service that assesses a firm’s style and space (anything from a 20-story HQ to a single office) and finds the paintings, photos or artifacts to adorn it, often within weeks. For example, his company outfitted management consultants FTI‘s reception area (below) with bright, abstract oils, “setting the tone” for an office of creative but corporate thinkers. » MFI Art Company, 568 Broadway, 212.334.1100

Hired Help It may seem like a buyer’s market for employers today, but finding the ideal staffer is still no snap. That’s why recruiters Russell Tobin take what Managing Director Tim Tobin calls “a consultative approach” to placement. His team has detailed discussions with both bosses and applicants (“from entry level to C-level”), managing expectations and finessing presentations, to ensure a perfect match. And they follow up, to see how a hire is working out. » Russell Tobin & Associates, 420 Lexington Ave., 212.235.5330

Richie

It’s not so simple leading a life of privilege, but former party girl Nicole Richie’s flair for fashion—and love for challenges—have helped her flourish, personally and professionally. By Bob Cannon

photo: Nicole Richie foR impulse, available at select macy’s stoRes aNd macys.com/impulse, begiNNiNg sept. 12

f you still think of Nicole Richie as the wisecracking sidekick of heiress Paris Hilton in the fish-out-of-water reality series The Simple Life (FOX-TV, 2003-2007), be advised: She has evolved. No longer a pampered Beverly Hills party girl trying to make sense of life in rural Arkansas (as she was portrayed on the television show), she has grown into a glamorous and successful woman. In fact, she is now a wife, mother of two and powerhouse in the world of fashion design. As Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week arrives in the city this month, Richie, a mentor on NBC’s Fashion Star, is following the 2009 launch of her Winter Kate and House of Harlow 1960 collections of ready-to-wear, jewelry, eyewear, footwear and handbags (all available in New York City at Bergdorf Goodman) with the debut of Nicole Richie for Impulse, a bohemian-chic, affordable collection of 24 to 30 pieces for Macy’s. “This collection has a strong mix of masculine and feminine: printed chiffon mixed with faux leathers. I focused on the details, from the zipper pulls to the buttons,” she says. “I’m creating things that focus on the natural elements around us—incorporating a lot of really cool wood in the shoes and the bags, distressed leathers, silk crepes, some beautiful silk chiffons and really cool original prints.” At the same time, she’s debuting dresses, separates and accessories for The Nicole Richie Collection on QVC, as well as her first perfume, appropriately named Nicole. “I grew up with a traditional Southern mother, and she never left the house without a combination of lotion, oil and perfume,” she says. “The layering of different scents and textures was something that I’ve been drawn to since I was a little girl, so that’s what I’ve gone after with this fragrance,” which is a complex blend of blackberry, orange, golden amber, Moroccan rose, lily of the valley, sandalwood, sugared patchouli and vanilla. Even the perfume bottle, an Art Nouveau starburst, reflects Richie’s sensibility. “I wanted it to represent different layers of a woman,” she explains. “Dale Brandon Kan, who designed the bottle for me, researched everything about me, studying everything from common color palettes that I’ve worn over the years to my jewelry designs. We chose this bottle design together, gravitating toward its timeless elegance with a little bit of an edge.” Whether it’s clothing, bags, necklaces or fragrance bottles, when Richie designs, “everything starts with music,” she declares. “Music sets off my creativity.” That makes sense, considering the most important people in her life have always been and continue to be musicians. She was born on Sept. 21, 1981, in Berkeley, California; her father was a percussionist who knew Lionel Richie, and mother

was an executive assistant for a well-known drummer. Faced with financial hardship in the family, young Nicole was sent to live with—and was eventually adopted by— Lionel and his then-wife, Brenda Harvey. (After the couple’s acrimonious divorce, both were criticized for “saying ‘yes’ to everything I wanted,” recalls Richie, admitting that she was spoiled.) Her godfathers were music luminaries Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson, and she married punk band Good Charlotte’s front man, Joel Madden, in 2010. They now live in Los Angeles, with daughter Harlow, 4, and son Sparrow, who turns 3 on Sept. 9. “I’m a California cheerleader,” Richie says, playfully. “I love the people and the weather. I love my personal space,” yet she also loves returning to the East Coast. “The energy of New York City is like nowhere else. I am very drawn to it,” she says, noting her penchant for shopping and admiring other designers’ clothes. “I appreciate the work of designers and notice details, but overall I’m just like any other girl when I’m shopping. Kirna Zabête is one of my favorite SoHo boutiques. And I also like to stop by Balenciaga, because they don’t carry the same pieces in Los Angeles.” Aside from her high-profile work and family life, Richie also finds time for the Richie-Madden Foundation, which works with UNICEF to provide water and shelter for impoverished regions around the world, as well as other humanitarian and charitable organizations. How does she manage? “Every morning, I wake up at 5:30 a.m. just to be by myself,” she explains. “Having those two hours of relaxation before the rest of my family wakes up helps me give it my all when I am being a mother and working. I can’t sit here and say that it’s easy,” she admits. “I’m just figuring out how to make it work.” Soon, Richie begins shooting the second season of Fashion Star, a series that she says “has been an incredible platform to show America the amount of work and discussion that goes into each garment you see in a store.” Her own growing fashion empire, she adds, “is definitely a lot of work, but I thrive on being challenged.” IN New YORK | sePteMbeR 2012 | INNewyoRk.coM

Farewell toSummer September is a time of transition in the city. Days remain warm and sunny, but mornings carry a chill and nighttime shadows gradually descend earlier. When it comes to clothing, layering is key. Supple suedes and soft furs, lightweight wools and lush knits: These fall-friendly materials are not only stylish, but they also ensure you get the most out of summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lingering caress, even as you bid her adieu.

senses.

siGHt Visually speaking, there’s no shortage of eye-popping color or pattern. Watery blues, fiery reds and lustrous metallics inspired by jewelry have made the journey from the fashion runways to the world of interiors. Heather Moore, senior designer for Jed Johnson Associates, Inc., says that once she’s designed a neutral space with white, beige or silvery gray walls, she accessorizes it with bright pops of color— scarlet and orange, for example—in accent pillows or throws that can be rotated out as preferences evolve. ABC Carpet & Home (881 & 888 Broadway, 212.473.3000) offers a collection of accent pillows in coral-red shibori linen; and silk charmeuse and silk velvet cushions in teal, navy, gray and lavender with a waterstain motif. To further soften what she calls a “stark architectural envelope,” Moore often adds flourishes, such as an antique cabinet, a midcentury coffee table or a significant piece of art, to lend warmth to an otherwise cold or minimalist interior. Sometimes, she gives a room an extra sheen with a wall painted in a shimmery finish, such as the pigments in the Molten Metallics line recently introduced by Benjamin Moore that have a hand-hammered look. Even an arrangement of flowers can provide a bright dash, particularly if it features the eye-catching tangerine so pervasive in apparel this past summer. Tom Sebenius, creative director for Starbright Floral Design (150 W. 28th St., 800.520.8999), says other big blooms this fall include antique hydrangeas in muddled blues and aubergines, and fiery red and deep-burgundy black dahlias—paired with bright chartreuse greens for the ultimate dramatic contrast.

Autumn’s shortening days mean that artificial light becomes more important to a space. On the contemporary end of the spectrum, lighting designer David Landis finds LED the most significant change he’s seen lately. Geocentric, his new ultramodern line of fixtures, makes use of the technology, which relies on electrons embedded in semiconductor material, known as “light-emitting diodes,” to produce the effect of tiny lightbulbs that don’t burn out. “In addition to the energy savings, LEDs allow you to change the mood of a room with different colors— yellows, reds, golds, lavenders—and they can be made warmer or cooler,” Landis says, adding that the new versatility has led to creative integration into cabinetry. The new +Artesio line by Poggenpohl (270 Park Ave. So., 212.228.3334) features LED-illuminated glass cabinet fronts, for example.

Luxurious textures and a wealth of decorative embellishments are currently supplying stimulation to fingertips, according to Sue Hardie, head of design for fabric and wall-covering house Osborne & Little. Designers are juxtaposing fabrics, such as silk taffeta and velvet, in innovative ways, and using embroidery to mimic crochet on silk or linen backgrounds. Tricia Guild, founder and creative director for Designers Guild, one of the fabric lines represented by Osborne & Little, has introduced new figured velvets, chenilles and complex jacquards inspired by the colors found in Pre-Raphaelite paintings. The designs derive their “modernity from a refined masculine edge,” she says. Guild also has created IN New YORK | september 2012 | innewyork.com

a collection of fanciful wall coverings that feature beading, glitter and holographic foils. An assortment of imaginative cross-fabric combinations can be found at Ankasa (1200 Madison Ave., 212.996.5200), where Belgian linens, sequins, crocodilestamped leather and intricate cutwork characterize a shiny new collection of decorative pillows. Woven silks, fur throws and embroidered pieces are among the autumn items unveiled by Frette (799 Madison Ave., 212.988.5221), the Italian maker of luxury linens and beddings. Frette’s Creative Director Scott Formby says that the bedroom is an increasingly public destination within a home, and so beginning to receive as much design attention as other rooms in the house. “Customers are looking for a complete look that is decorative as well as functional,” he explains, noting that buyers are not purchasing just sheets and pillowcases, but also bed sets, duvets and decorative pillows. Lush, textured elements are perfect ways to break up the monochromatic, mono-texture tendency of minimalist interiors, agrees Steffani Aarons, principal designer and partner of DHD Architecture and Design. Along with highly figured draperies and wallpapers, she weaves

natural materials into her interiors, such as slabs of stone for headboards or credenza tops that, she finds, “add layers of life to a project.”

are including aromatherapy in their design plans (in her own home, Aarons drops a touch of lavender oil on her children’s pillows before they go to sleep at night to help them relax). The nose knows how to slow life down, notes Liya Garber, who oversees the opening of Sabon stores in New York (there are currently 11, including 78 Seventh Ave., 646.486.1809). Utilizing scent, whether on

the body or in a room, “keeps you aware of what’s going on in the moment,” she says. Made in Israel, Sabon’s fragrances, such as soothing jasmine and mood-enhancing lavender-vanilla, are available in a variety of forms, including small candlelit oil burners, jars fitted with fragrance sticks, body oils, scrubs and soaps. New this fall is a variety of sensual fragrances, including ginger-orange, mandarin-papaya and musk.

Later this season, Diptyque (377 Bleecker St., 212.242.2333), the Paris-based parfumeur, will release a new collection of candles whose scents are reminiscent of exotic locales (think: woody oriental spruce, musklike amber oud and aromatic frankincense), all of them packaged in jewel-toned glass vessels inspired by kilim rugs.

tAste The proliferation of television cooking programs that elevate chefs to rock stars has produced a demand for expert-level goods that consumers believe will last a lifetime, according to Eli Winkler, vice president of marketing for Sur La Table (75 Spring St., 212.966.3375). Spending more time in kitchens outfitted with professional-quality equipment also puts a priority on aesthetics: Le Creuset Dutch ovens, braisers and teakettles in cherry, indigo, fennel and cassis; Kuhn’s rainbow-colored whisks; Joseph Joseph’s potato masher that doubles as a scoop in green, gray and red. These and other items in Sur La Table’s 8,000-piece inventory give buyers an opportunity “to dress up the kitchen in the same way you plan your daily outfit,” Winkler says. Combining linens, dishes and flatware that vary in style and provenance is a technique favored by Stéphane Parmentier, the architect of Christofle (846 Madison Ave., 212.308.9390) and a designer of tableware for the company. He says a mixed table setting—one featuring, say, 18th-century colored glassware from Spain, dishes from Sweden, bowls from Japan and bone china from Thailand—demonstrates the host’s personality. “The aim is to be proud of these products and to bring them out of the closet for everyday use,” he says, adding that utensils have become quite versatile—as in large spoons that work for serving salad, rice or fruit, for example. A perusal of the goods available from the new Guggenheim Studio line in the gift shop at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (1071 Fifth Ave., 212.423.3500) brings just such an eclectic table setting to mind. The line’s celebration of handcrafted products, made by small-production artists from natural and reclaimed materials, includes resin dishes and serving utensils designed by artist Tina Frey and Neo’s hand-braided baskets made of neoprene, a lightweight industrial rubber. Parmentier’s international table might well be enhanced with the just-launched Constructivist line from revived French jeweler Fabergé (694 Madison Ave., 646.559.8848): kaleidoscope-colored, silver and enamel cups and candelabra in a style that pays homage to Constructivism, the Russian art movement which flourished in the early 20th century.

HeArinG “The days when we built living rooms around a big TV or stereo are over,” declares Zean Nielsen, president of Bang & Olufsen America (330 Columbus Ave., 212.501.0926). “Now, people are designing a room and then incorporating the television and speakers.” Happily, entertainment electronics are lighter, smaller and—thanks to wireless technology—more portable than ever before. In addition, after a long fascination with MP3 docking stations that broadcast with less-than-optimal quality, cuscus tomers are rediscovering the benefits of high-fidelhigh-fidel ity sound, he maintains. However, they want speakers that can be mounted with wires from the ceiling or brackets on a wall, allowing for superior acoustics without clutter. Today’s ultrathin, flatscreen TVs can also be mounted on brackets, to swivel for optimal viewing. Plus, anyone with a smartphone can now manipulate music like a DJ, courtesy of gadgets like Bang & Olufsen’s new Playmaker. The device creates a wireless connection between stereo speakers and an iPhone or Android, allowing song se selection and volume to be concon trolled anywhere in the house. With such a cornucopia of options and offerings for the home front, autumn is clearly the time to create—in ways big or small—a stylish, sensually pleasing dwelling place.

ART & ANTIQUES galleries, antiques centers, collectibles, auctions ... The hippest galleries, art festivals and fairs, and where to browse, bid and buy.

The Personal Touch Savvy fashionistas are familiar with department store personal shoppers, those complimentary consultants who navigate the stock, culling items for you to try. But New York, fashion capital of the U.S., also offers independent personal shoppers, and they can provide an efficient, invaluable way to navigate the city’s cornucopia of boutiques or discover off-the-beaten-path places, says Meghan Day, concierge at Thompson LES. With the help of your hotel concierge—“it’s our job to research reputable people for you”—it’s usually best to book a few days in advance. To assume the role of your new best shopping friend, the consultant typically will arrange a preliminary phone interview or send an email questionnaire to gain a sense of your tastes, lifestyle, body type and preferred price points—all the better to plan your sartorial tour or to preselect items from the stores. Obviously, most shoppers (who charge either an hourly fee or a flat rate for a set amount of time) have a background in fashion, having worked at a major retailer or for a designer, but many have specialties. “Some students at The Fashion Institute of Technology TIPS FROM: moonlight as personal shoppers,” Day says, and these Meghan Day, Concierge, Thompson LES, 190 couturiers-in-training are ideal for finding “avant-garde Allen St., 212.460.5300 styles.” Prefer the garb of yesteryear?

Visiting New York City’s many museums and galleries is unquestionably a major cultural experience. Just imagine how much richer it would be in the company of an expert like art historian and consultant Natasha Schlesinger. With a master’s degree in decorative arts and more than 20 years experience in the field (including a stint as a specialist in European furniture at Christie’s auction house), Schlesinger has founded a tour company, ArtMuse (p. 58). Guests select from more than 25 museums and galleries to visit during each hourand-a-half tour, taking in both current exhibitions and permanent collections that range from ancient art to contemporary pieces. Throughout the tour, Schlesinger (who is also fluent in Russian) sparks discussions as she lectures, allowing guests to approach and view art in a refreshing and educational way. Also on offer are themed tours designed for children (3 1/2 and up) that combine fun with artistic expression. The first hour explores an exhibit through interactive props and scavenger hunts, while the last 15 to 30 minutes let young ones create an inspired art project of their own.—M.B.
