It may feel as if goddesses are in short supply lately, but there’s hope if you’re a jewelry lover. Carey Lowell, the ceramist and actor, has partnered with Brooke Garber, the owner and creative director of Sidney Garber jewelry, on a collection inspired by female deities. The pendants, rings, necklaces, and earrings are fashioned of gold, ebony, and ceramic, with the occasional sprinkling of diamonds, and they resemble the rounded figures of Lowell’s sculptures and mobiles. “When I saw Carey’s mobile,” Garber says, “I thought, This is jewelry.” The 17-piece collection is now at Bergdorf Goodman and the Sidney Garber boutique in New York, joining those other everyday goddesses who populate the city. Says Lowell, “I made them as a celebration of womanhood and femininity.” It’s time someone paid homage. (from $1,500; sidneygarber.com) —Linda Wells

Louis Vuitton has had a presence in Manhattan for the past 120 years, and now the French fashion house is kicking things up a notch. As their flagship boutique at 57th Street and Fifth Avenue continues its renovation—cleverly, it’s hidden behind scaffolding that resembles a trunk—a temporary boutique has opened up across the street at 6 East 57th Street. Its first floor is a paradise of leather goods, including luggage, and an artisan on hand to take care of any and all personalization requests. Women’s clothing occupy the second floor, and men’s the third. The fourth floor hosts Le Café Louis Vuitton, which includes a restaurant, reading room, and bar. The French chefs Arnaud Donckele and Maxime Frédéric have masterminded the dishes, which are all highly snackable—lobster and truffle raviolis embossed with the flower monogram, Croque sandwiches, and a burger. To celebrate the store’s opening, a new capsule collection includes the Capucines bag paneled with skyscrapers, and Avenue Slingbag and Keepall styles accessorized with New York City license plates.

If you don’t have a ball-gown skirt made entirely of ice-blue denim in your closet, are you really even living? Wes Gordon, the creative director of Carolina Herrera, makes a very strong case for owning one. The New York fashion house’s new collaboration with Frame came about when Gordon and Erik Torstensson, Frame’s co-founder and creative director, wondered: “What does the Herrera woman wear when she’s not in a formal dress?” They devised a collection full of good ideas, but our favorite is the tapered jeans in striking shades of marigold, currant, pale blue, and “Herrera red”—a bright, almost tomato-y color.

A Taiwanese immigrant, Jerry Hsu became a well-to-do engineer in the decades following his move to America. He also married, had children, and—after divorcing his wife—retired to Orlando, where he could freely soak up the Floridian sunshine. His ordinary life takes a turn when he receives a phone call from someone claiming to be his cell-phone provider relaying a message from the Shanghai Police Department, who inform him that his bank account is tied to an international money-laundering scheme. To avoid arrest or extradition to China, Hsu is told, he must cooperate in a sting operation. This is the plot of Starring Jerry as Himself, a documentary produced by his son, Jon. The film follows Hsu’s thrilling and harrowing true story, which all turned out to be a scam. (apple.com) —Jack Sullivan

King Kong, Mothra, the Japan Self-Defense Forces, the Avengers—Godzilla has faced many foes since his 1954 film debut. But in Tom Scioli’s new three-issue comic, Godzilla Monsterpiece Theatre, the monster destroys the West Egg mansion of Jay Gatsby. Gatsby rallies Thomas Edison, Sherlock Holmes, and other classic characters—all now in the public domain—to take on the scaly threat. Scioli, the cartoonist behind graphic biographies of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, deploys the legendary final sentence of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel—“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past”—as Fitzgerald’s characters, drenched by a Godzilla-induced wave, try to make an escape by boat. Standing in a giant footprint stamped into a cornfield, Holmes declares, in word bubble, “The game is afoot.” Godzilla Monsterpiece Theatre is an irreverent mash-up: equal parts classic monster and modernist classic.

English chef Hugo Worsley goes through a lot of knives. When friends asked him where to find high-quality knives that wouldn’t break the bank, he decided to make them himself. During lockdown, Worsley moved back in with his parents in Norfolk and, troubled by plastic pollution, started experimenting with melting milk-bottle lids in his old sandwich-press machine to create recycled knife handles. After months of research, he met Yoshikazu, a superlative fourth-generation blacksmith who found the project’s recycling element appealing, despite the unorthodoxy of using plastic handles for forged knives. Fast-forward to now, and Allday Goods’ beautiful and unique small-batch knives—such as a range with marbled handles made from recycled Maldon Salt tubs—tend to sell out whenever available.
