Crystal requires only seconds. Less than that
sometimes to fully and completely immerse
oneself in the awe of what the eyes behold. The
light and the intricacy of form have such presence,
a poetic glacier in lucid shapes and suggestions.
Perhaps nowhere else is crystal more beguiling
than when the venerable house of Lalique is
conjuring up new spectacles. From the Bucolique
collection, these perfume bottles capture Eden
and its enchantments in fresh, green crisp artistry.
Shown are the anise and the clear flacons. For

Printed, printed, printed, solid gray, all black. And so
goes the procession of carry-ons and oversize bags cutting
corners on the way to the international terminal. Something
to bring the line of monotone predictability to a dramatic
halt: the latest travel accessories from London designer
Alice Temperley. The debut collection features fine
Italian leathers, solid brass hardware, and the astounding
flights of fancy this London-based designer applies to her
fabrics—the prints, hand-applied embellishments and
thoughtful construction of her couture pieces continue to
amaze runway audiences around the globe. Evidently for
luggage this chic, what’s on the inside does not seem to
matter. Temperley London, 453 Broome Street, New York,
