Since This American Life first aired, in 1995, the Pulitzer Prize–winning radio show’s staff has included some of the finest reporters and storytellers around. Brian Reed is no exception. He’s hosted two addictive true-crime podcasts (S-Town and The Trojan Horse Affair) and now, for his latest endeavor, turns his attention to a subject closer to his own life: journalism itself. Question Everything, his first project under a new production company he started along with This American Life alumnus Robyn Semien, aims to explore the nature of the journalistic principles on which he built his career in a style every bit as entertaining and informative as that of his previous efforts.

Color-field painting was not an art movement so much as a collection of artists who, in the mid–20th century, began experimenting with non-traditional mediums and methods. Stain-painting techniques were in order, as was reducing perspective to emphasize the flat plane of the picture itself. Glory of the World, a new book by Bonnie Clearwater, the director and chief curator of the NSU Art Museum, in Fort Lauderdale, reproduces the works of color-field painters such as Kenneth Noland, Morris Louis, and Helen Frankenthaler and places them in the context of their times, supplemented with essays by Clement Greenberg, Frank Stella, and many others. It’s the perfect gift for the art lover in your life, especially if that art lover is you. ($50, artbook.com) —Jim Kelly

Just in time for trench-coat season, Burberry has reopened its New York flagship, on 57th Street between Fifth and Madison Avenues. Its new minimalist and modern redesign marks the beginning of a new era for the store, which originally opened in 1978 as the British clothing brand’s first U.S. satellite location. Today, it’s home to a full array of men’s wear, women’s wear, accessories, and, yes, trenches galore, including six archival pieces and the Heritage Trench Coats collection, made at Burberry’s storied Castleford factory, in Yorkshire. While you’re shopping, it’s never a bad idea to pick up some of the Chelsea creeper boots, or perhaps one of the Small Knight bags in Bruciato—a chestnut suede. (burberry.com) —Ashley Baker

Barrie is the René Magritte of fashion. The brand’s Denim Capsule Collection, launched in 2018, features jackets, shorts, pants, and skirts that look like denim but are, in fact, luxuriously soft and warm cashmere. In other words, ceci n’est pas un jean. Acquired by Chanel in 2012, Barrie has been manufacturing cashmere knits in Scotland since 1903. Their fibers, sourced from upper Mongolia, are meticulously assembled by hand in the Scottish town of Hawick. Created by artistic director Augustin Dol-Maillot, the Denim Capsule is now available at a pop-up in Paris’s First Arrondissement, at 23 Rue Cambon, until November 30.

If there’s anything better than wearing Marni, it’s eating on it. The Italian fashion house’s new line of dinnerware, made in collaboration with Belgian housewares brand Serax, has arrived, and it’s addictive.The motif: anenomes, which are painted on serving plates, dinner plates, bowls, and coffee cups made of porcelain that has been glazed to minimize wear and tear. (Dishwasher-safe!) It’s all the brainchild of Marni’s creative director, Francesco Risso, who has ensured that each piece is slightly asymmetrical, which only adds to the intrigue.

Handcrafted by artisans of Colombia’s Wayuu tribe, By Madre’s bags pay homage to Mesoamerica’s traditional techniques of cesteria, or basket weaving. The totes, which are woven from the palms of iraca plants and are lacquered to a subtle shine, range in size from a miniature mochila to a jumbo canasta. (Our favorite is the Mini Magdalena Canasta bag.) Available in colors such as deep evergreen and ruby red, the elegant canastas are as suitable for a day at the beach as they are for a rooftop dinner. And thanks to the exceptional craftsmanship, they’re resilient enough to accompany you everywhere in between. (from $245, bymadre.com) —Paulina Prosnitz
