SOURCE For its Latest Launch, Farrow & Ball Mines Its Own Archive
Despite the cultlike following around its famously pigmented paints, and the feverish dedication to worldbuilding that has made them the stuff of SNL lore, it’s not often that Farrow & Ball launches new colors. In fact, it more often archives them. So the brand’s recent launch of 12 new colors, including three revived from its archive, has garnered some well-deserved attention. Among the new shades are a spring-ready marigold yellow, a creamy pale blue, and a soft pinky hue that evokes a sun-ripening peach. The archival colors, meanwhile, include the forthrightly-named Etruscan Red, Broccoli Brown, and Sap Green. —Jenna Adrian-Diaz

On the Scene at Place Vendôme for 66 Years of Delvaux’s Brillant Handbag
Earlier this week in Paris, the Belgium-based luxury leather goods house kicked off a weeklong “performance” at Place Vendôme to highlight three distinct chapters of its history, through the silhouettes of its newest collection. The presentation centers the 1958 Brussels World Fair and its role in the nascence of Delvaux’s Brillant handbag. Further reference points in the show include Le Courbusier’s undulating architecture pavilion, and three Saul Steinberg panels lent to Delvaux for the occasion by the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Belgium. Contributing fashion photographer Giovanni Cardenas captured the scene on the presentation’s opening day.—J.A.D

VISIT “Repose” Casts a Soft Light on the Art of Ballet
Today, “Repose,” a study of the oscillating moments of intensity and quietude that dot dancers’ lives, opens at Salon 21: a downtown gallery dedicated to showcasing emerging artists and designers. The perspective offered by the artist, 27-year-old actor and trained dancer Holly Taylor, stands to advance the canon of imagemaking that has trailed ballet since its nascence in the royal courts of the Italian renaissance. The 20-work exhibition of oil paintings and charcoals offers the chance to observe the ballerina’s journey—where she seeks inspiration, the otherworldly grace she strives to embody, the rigor she subjects herself to in the name of art, and, yes, her moments of repose—from the perspective of an artist who has walked that path herself.—J.A.D.

Tucked Within the Four Seasons Surf Club, an Exceptional and Intimate Omakase
Restaurateurs Key Kim and Mihyun Han of New York’s Michelin-starred Kosaka have unveiled Inoshin, an exceptional omakase experience tucked inside the historic Hemingway Tower at The Surf Club. The intimate 16-seat restaurant offers a rare opportunity to dine in the members-only space, an ode to its namesake designed by publishing titan Prosper Assouline. Chef Shinichi Inoue, who spent decades of rigorous training in Tokyo and was the first chef to bring a Michelin star to Harlem at his now-shuttered Sushi Inoue, presents a masterful progression of flavors and textures, beginning with traditional hassun small plates before moving through sashimi and nine pieces of nigiri sourced from Tokyo’s Toyosu Market. —Nate Storey
