BEAR BACK: Carmy’s viral jacket drops on Saturday at NN.07 NYC
The seemingly innocuous wool plaid jacket sported by Jeremy Allen White’s character “Carmy” on “The Bear” currently has a 20,000 person waiting list. NN.07, the company that made said jacket (called The Gael), just opened in SoHo and will have a limited supply for sale in-store on September 7. The store is styled out with fall/winter merchandise, plus stylish accessories including jewelry and accessories by Brooklyn-based silversmith Heath Wagoner, Folie à Plusieurs fragrances, tote bags by Japanese brand Amiacalva, sunglasses by Garrett Leight, D’Orsay candles and ceramics by Leslie Scanlon.

CLAY DATE: Andile Dyalvane at Friedman Benda
This week marked the debut of Andile Dyalvane’s fourth show at Friedman Benda. Dyalvane, for the uninitiated, is considered one of South Africa’s foremost ceramic artists, whose pieces are in the permanent collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, among others. Through his work he has always sought to honor his Xhosa heritage, and his new show, “Oonomathotholo: Ancestral Whispers,” takes its title from the intergenerational whispers of the Xhosa people. It features over a dozen earthenware works, many of them vessels, that “carry notes of ancient experience passed down through time.”

SWEET SPOT: Serendipity3 opens in Times Square
Serendipity3 has just opened on West 47 Street, 70 years after it first debuted as a restaurant and general store on the Upper East Side. It’s connected to the OYO Times Square Hotel, and is helmed by chef Joe Calderone, with a menu that mimics the UES version (Frrrozen Hot Chocolate for the win!) albeit with new additions including a Sunday Chicken Dinner Sundae, an ice cream bar with three new flavors, as well as proper bar offering “over-the-top cocktails.” The interior was designed by Wid Chapman Architects, who channeled Andy Warhol (a one-time regular) through reproductions of the artist’s signature pop art depicting Marilyn Monroe, the late Queen Elizabeth II and more.
GROUP DYNAMICS: “Shades of Light” exhibition at Galerie56
TriBeCa’s Galerie56, strategically located on the street level of the infamous 56 Leonard (aka “Jenga”) building, just debuted an exhibition in conjunction with London’s Sarah Myerscough Gallery. “Shades of Light” showcases works celebrating organic materials and some pretty incredible craftsmanship, including Full Grown’s willow chairs grown over many years from a single tree, cast in bronze for the first time, turned wood vessels by Ernst Gamperl, winner of the first Loewe prize in 2017, and Eleanor Lakelin’s horse-chestnut burr vessels (in the permanent collections of the Museum of Art and Design, New York and The V&A, London). There’s more, of course, with the bonus of an Anish Kapoor sculpture, just outside.
