Über-popular Colombian fashion designer Johanna Ortiz recently opened the doors to her long-awaited New York flagship, and it’s just as sublimely stylish as you might expect. With new collections inspired by the city, Ortiz takes her trademark tropical looks in a sleek, sophisticated direction featuring abstracted florals and decadent lamé.

  • Inês Silva Sá

One of Paris’s most buzzed-about interior designers, the always-chic Laura Gonzalez is celebrated for her fantastical blend of classicism and romanticism. Her lofty new Tribeca showroom enchants with an ever-changing dialogue between her own furniture designs, the work of extraordinary artists and artisans (don’t miss the Laurent Dufour fireplace), and her latest interior explorations.

Inconvenience Store by Flamingo Estate & Mytheresa
East Hampton

When Richard Christiansen started Flamingo Estate in the hills above Los Angeles, the brand’s candles, soaps, and pantry staples—produced with ingredients from his own gardens and orchards—developed an instant cult following. This summer, he’s headed Out East to host a pop-up with Mytheresa and Porsche, where fans can sample the line’s coveted wares in a retro-inspired auto body shop. (It even features toy Porsches zipping around a miniature racetrack!) But don’t dally—the cheekily named “Inconvenience Store” is only open through August 18.
