Look, I love fashion and clothing, but I’m just going to say it: one of the best collections I saw at this most recent New York Fashion Week was, in fact, for the home. I shouldn’t have been surprised by the deft debut of Rentrayage’s Hereafter Home collection, under the tasteful eye of founder and creative director Erin Beatty (formerly of the now shuttered label Suno, a much-bereaved favorite among fashionable in-the-know types). The vast assortment of luscious patchwork and hand-dyed table linens, glassware, and ceramics abstractly repainted and reglazed with colorful blends mixed from finely crushed glass bottles—which Beatty showed alongside her spring 2024 apparel collection—is perfectly aligned with the brand’s M.O.: upcycling deadstock and vintage materials into something wickedly stylish—not crunchy-granola. And unlike most other designer showcases this fashion season, Rentrayage’s housewares are already available for purchase. (rentrayage.com and abchome.com) —Laura Neilson

Francesca Amfitheatrof: Fantastical Jewels
A new book unveils Francesca Amfitheatrof’s bewitching world of Haute Joaillerie design, complete with curated personal photographs, journal entries, gouaches, and sketches from her years as the artistic director of watches and jewelry at Louis Vuitton. If I were to place Amfitheatrof’s coffee-table book, Fantastical Jewels, somewhere on my shelf, it would be near my collection of J. R. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, because both storylines involve intimate and intricate journeys with celestial jewelry. With a foreword by Louis Vuitton’s brand ambassador for high jewelry—and coincidentally Lord of the Rings’s Lady Galadriel—Cate Blanchett says that “Francesca Amfitheatrof is not simply a master jeweler; she is an alchemist and an adventuress” who invites spellbound readers and customers “into the magical worlds of her far-reaching, exotic imagination.” ($115, rizzolibookstore.com) —Carolina de Armas
Hail
Pet Cab NYC
There comes a day in every pet owner’s life when certain thoughts begin to enter the consciousness: “I wish Mitzy could take herself to the vet.” “Wouldn’t it be nice if Scout didn’t need help getting to doggy day care?” “What if Rocco could pick himself up from J.F.K. and Spot could get herself from Southampton to Palm Beach?” Thanks to Pet Cab NYC, these are all real—albeit absurd—possibilities. Drivers will fetch your animals from your home (they will even go upstairs if need be!) and take them to their final destination, whether that means waiting at the vet and then driving them back home or a later pickup at day care. Expect cars complete with luxe beds, blankets, and treats. If it’s good enough for Anna Wintour’s goldendoodles and Kehinde Wiley’s Afghan hounds, it’s good enough for your beloved pup, too.

Wear
Prada
They’re here! They’re here! They’re here! (And they’re already almost sold out!) Prada’s fall collection was all about the white skirt, and whether it’s made of duchesse, organza, lace, crêpe de Chine, or padded cotton, it’s a winner. We’re partial to the lace, but the embroidered and embellished versions also boggle the mind. You know what? We’re not picking favorites. If you can get your hands on any single one of them, congratulations. But the secret to procurement is to visit, or call, a boutique, because the masses have already snapped up almost everything available online. We rarely use the term “investment piece,” but it just might apply here, because due to the scarcity, the value of these will only increase with time. Just make sure to stick to the white wine instead of the red. ($11,500; prada.com) —Ashley Baker

Hermès
Hermès, how do you manage to turn the most quotidian products into objects of desire? Those creative wizards have now set their sights on Le Regard, an eye-makeup collection that is, to state the obvious, completely delectable. An eye shadow in Hermès orange? Yes, please. Bottle-green and pure, shimmering gold powders? Absolutely. The shadows come four to a refillable compact in a Bauhaus geometry of round and square pans. The mascara’s tailored brush suddenly makes all those bushy bristles look unrefined. It’s offered in six shades, because why shouldn’t you have burgundy, violet, or azure lashes? There’s also a lash curler, coming in 2024, with a sky-blue silicone pad and Hermès stamped on the gold metal clamp. If I pulled it out at a cocktail party, would that be vulgar?

Stomp
Lucchese
Everyone from Gucci to Ganni is trotting out cowboy boots this season. Some are adorned, others are color-blocked, and they look good. They really do. Those in search of a more basic style could do much worse than Lucchese. Technically, this bootmaker is based in Galveston, Texas, where the company’s founder, Salvatore Lucchese, arrived from Palermo in 1883. Today they’ve got shops all over the Southwest, and three years ago I picked up some Summers at the store in Santa Fe. Handcrafted and garnished with just enough embellishment to keep things interesting, they’ve soldiered through several winters of heavy wear in all manner of slush and sleet, and they look better than ever.
