1. Jenna Lyons Debuts New Furniture
Former J.Crew creative director Jenna Lyons is translating her effortlessly chic personal style into her first line of home furnishings. Influenced by the 1970s, the eight-piece collection—produced by esteemed Brooklyn brand Roll & Hill—consists of tables, chairs, benches, and lighting. “Jenna epitomizes New York,” said Jason Miller, CEO of Roll & Hill. “Her attitude towards design reveals an incredible sense of freedom, but is grounded in her respect for history and her reverence for materials.” Among those materials are oiled woods, natural stone, and unlacquered brass—all of which imbue the versatile collection with an elevated sense of craftsmanship.—Geoffrey Montes

2. The Inaugural St. Barth Photo Festival
Jetsetters now have another reason to escape the cold for the island paradise of St. Barthelemy in the French West Indies. From November 23 to December 2, the inaugural St. Barth Photo Festival is taking place. Kicking off with an exhibition at the Wallhouse Museum in partnership with Prix Picto de la Photographie de Mode, the new festival comprises ten internationally renowned fashion photographers each displaying their work at the chicest five-star resorts on the island. Organized by the St. Barth Artists Association, the Collectivity of Saint Barthélemy, and the Tourism Board, there will be over 140 works to see. Highlights include Ellen von Unwerth at the Cheval Blanc; Greg Lotus’s exhibition “By the Pool” at the Christopher Hotel, Greg Kadel’s show “Plein Soleil” at the Manapany Hotel; and Daniel Arsham’s documentation of the moon at Eden Rock.“The festival is an amazing way to immerse yourself in the glamorous world of photography in a very elevated yet relaxed and festive way,” says Marie Audier D’Alessandris of The Selects Gallery, which represents Greg Lotus and Greg Kadel. “It’s everything the island of Saint Barth is about!” —Lucy Rees
