"Tisch has brought together seven fashion and accessories brands with a connection to Los Angeles.
Lizzie Tisch has brought her pop-up concept LTD by Lizzie Tisch — an experiential style venture focused on exclusive, limited-edition designer collaborations — to the Nate Berkus Apartment at the Loews Regency Hotel at 540 Park Avenue in New York.
Tisch threw a cocktail party Tuesday night to kick off the three-day shopping event, attended by Kelly Ripa, Jill Kargman, Jeff Gordon, Ingrid Vandebosch, Robert Verdi, Dwyer Kilcollin, Carolyn Rowan and Sylvana Durrett.
Tisch is showing a handful of fashion and accessories collections. The theme this time is “Lizziewood,” and the lines include Elder Statesman, a luxury lifestyle brand founded in 2007 by Greg Chait specializing in cashmere ready-to-wear, accessories, kids and home; Rogue Bespoke, a collection designed by John Pelaez of exclusive, one-of-a-kind or limited-edition jackets; Greg Lauren, known for its androgynous, deconstructed collections for men and women that are almost entirely handmade in his Los Angeles studio; Elisabeth Weinstock, a designer specializing in authentic, exotic snakeskin handbags and accessories; Lisa Eisner Jewelry, featuring chunky gold bracelets, earrings and necklaces inspired by the California coastline; Spinelli Kilcollin, a line of linked and stacked galaxy rings, and Manastash Mercantile, which sells reworked Hermès hair accessories, key rings and bag charms that Tisch found on Instagram.
“All of the designers are from L.A. or have some connection to L.A.,” Tisch said. She added the lines are “casual, effortless, layered, textured and the feeling is fun,” which she said is so needed these days.
The pop-up shop is open today through Friday. Hours are Wednesday and Thursday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Friday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Tisch organizes these pop-up shops several times a year or whenever school vacations and holidays don’t get in the way, she said."

"After its debut in Miami this past December, the L’Objet x Haas Brothers collection has been at the top of every design-lover’s list. Here’s why: After over a decade of minimalism and safe, investment dinnerware, it is high time for an ode to joyful exuberance. “I believe in disruption, we don’t need to do the same thing over and over again,” says Elad Yifrach, founder and creative director of L’Objet. “Keep the tradition, but break the mold. We already knew what it took to make a beautiful, functional plate, then the Haas Brothers brought in this fantasy and the results are amazing.” Inspired by Joshua Tree, the collection is a fanciful reverie about creatures that might come out at night, reminiscent of Where the Wilds Things Are. The colorful, anthropomorphic characters in the collection are equal parts Haas Brothers' creativity and L’Objet elegance.
The L'Obet Haas Brothers collaboration includes everything from embroidered table runners and incense burners to a full dinnerware service, all of it with personality. Part of the collection's appeal is due to the artisans Yifrach works with in Portugal, who help bring each piece to life. “We wanted the pieces to be fully three-dimensional, to look interesting at every angle, even the little salt and pepper shakers look great from the back and sides,” Yifrach explains.
The entire line launched March 7, with a celebration cocktail at Bergdorf Goodman, co-hosted by T&C’s editor-in-chief Stellene Volandes. Following the cocktail, a dinner by LTD by Lizzie Tisch at her home brought together guests including Barbara Bush, Lucy Liu, and Robert Verdi. The table, designed by David Monn, was a talking point unto itself, spurring great conversation late into the night. “With ritual objects like dinnerware there is an intrinsic intimacy which we loved building on,” the Haas brothers said. “We hope it encourages faster and deeper human connections, adds to memories, and heightens social experiences.”
The collection is available at Bergdorf Goodman and L’Objet. It is also featured in the April Issue of Town & Country, out this month."

"By now, if you haven’t witnessed the cutting of one of Amirah Kassem’s signature exploding cakes, chock-full of candy and an array of sprinkles in all imaginable hues, you might want to refresh your Instagram feed.
Since she first brought the concept to life nearly three years ago under her Flour Shop brand—a bakery cofounded with now-husband Ross Harrow in their Brooklyn apartment and now located in Manhattan at 177 Lafayette Street—the cakes have become the treat of choice for special occasions across the country, but none more so than birthdays.
With this in mind, the baker extraordinaire chose to create her signature confections for her own birthday party last night, a beautifully gluttonous dinner held at Palette, the newly redesigned cafe located within Bergdorf Goodman’s subterranean beauty section. It began with vodka martinis sweetened with cotton candy and cookie dough place settings, revealed by popping a balloon, and ended with one showstopping Explosion cake topped with a Barbie doll and decorated to match Kassem’s own dress for the evening.
When it came to the night’s dress code, there may have been no set rules, but when celebrating Kassem, it seemed unanimously implied that guests should arrive wearing their best versions of a no-holds-barred smattering of vibrant color. “We were all on a text chain, and I said, ‘Obviously we have to go rainbow and something sparky,’” Alice + Olivia’s Stacey Bendet quipped, surrounded by Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Dani Stahl, and Kassem, all in matching ensembles selected from Alice + Olivia. “Everyone just knew what to wear. Amirah didn't have to tell us.”
Telling the same Lisa Frank–worthy color story was Lizzie Tisch, a frequent Flour Shop client and budding retail entrepreneur behind the equally glitter-friendly LTD by Lizzie Tisch retail experience, who first introduced Kassem to Ashley Longshore. The artist, with her bedazzled frames and Louisiana accent, was responsible for Palette’s new rip-roaring injection of Pop Art emblazoned with slogans like “There’s no crying at Bergdorf Goodman” and “I do not cook. I do not clean. I do not fly commercial.”
“Other than our love of dessert, we bonded over everything sparkly and sequined,” said Tisch, sporting a flared-sleeve minidress designed by Ashish. After Tisch introduced the baker to Longshore: “She told me about Amirah, and my team and I were celebrating with one of her cakes. We had some drinks, so I didn’t use a fork, and the thing just exploded. It looked like I had put a stick of dynamite into a cake. It was a dream. I said, ‘Who is this woman? Take me to her.’”
And as the evening waned, the birthday girl gave the final toast of the night. “If you’re in this room, I love you, and you’re so special to me,” the ever-cheerful and delightfully quirky Kassem told the crowd. “Okay, I’ll stop talking now. Eat cake!”"
