Where Art, Fashion, and Activism Collide
London: Serpentine Pavilion 2025 Opening Gala
When: July 12, 8 PM | Where: Kensington Gardens
The Vibe: Architect Diébédo Francis Kéré’s bamboo-and-recycled-steel pavilion transforms into a glowing lantern for its opening night. Expect avant-garde performances by Juliana Huxtable and cocktails infused with foraged elderflower. Dress Code: "Eco-Glam" (think upcycled sequins or barefoot-in-silk).
Why Attend: Rub shoulders with Tate Modern curators and climate activists—this year’s pavilion doubles as a manifesto for sustainable design.
Brooklyn: Chanel Opens Atelier des Métiers in Dumbo
When: July 15–August 3 | Where: 55 Water Street
The Vibe: A pop-up celebrating savoir-faire with live embroidery demos by Lesage artisans and a VR tour of Coco’s original Paris workshop. Book a slot to stitch your initials onto a custom camellia brooch.
Star Sighting: Tilda Swinton debuts her collaborative jewelry line with Goossens on July 18.
Milan: "Woven Futures" Sustainable Textile Summit
When: July 20–22 | Where: Triennale Milano
The Vibe: Stella McCartney, Marine Serre, and Nigerian designer Kenneth Ize lead workshops on mushroom leather and zero-waste pattern cutting. Hot Ticket: The closing party features a dress code of "trash-to-treasure" (winner gets a €5K Ecco grant).
The Hamptons: Modish Muse x Soho House Ocean Rescue Benefit
When: July 26, 4 PM | Where: Ocean Blue Estate, Montauk
The Vibe: Sunset oysters, a silent auction (bid on a private concert by Florence Welch), and swimwear by Reformation. All proceeds fund coral reef restoration. Insider Tip: Arrive by electric yacht shuttle from East Hampton.
5. Paris: Queer Cinema Under the Stars at Père Lachaise
When: Every Thursday in July | Where: Cemetery’s Secret Garden
The Vibe: Open-air screenings of restored New Wave classics and LGBTQ+ shorts. This week: Portrait of a Lady on Fire with live violin score. Picnics from Septime’s bakery encouraged.

The Buzz: What Our Community Is Loving
Book Club Pick: "A Year on Earth with Mr. Hell" (discussion July 30 @ MM HQ)
