THE SARTORIAL EDIT
casa escuela

TOKYO RECORD BAR
Tokyo Record Bar in New York City isn’t literally in Tokyo, but it channels the spirit of Japan’s legendary record-bar culture into an immersive, music-driven dining and nightlife experience. Inspired by the intimate vinyl “listening rooms” of Tokyo, this stylish Greenwich Village destination blends a lively cocktail lounge with DJs and couture drinks upstairs and an underground vinyl-jukebox-curated omakase downstairs, where guests enjoy a seven-course izakaya-style tasting paired with a soundtrack they help create from an extensive record collection. The result is a sensorial celebration of sound, culinary creativity, and shared energy that feels both cosmopolitan and deeply personal.
Librairie 7L
Librairie 7L (often simply 7L) is an exclusive, Parisian bookshop-library-cultural salon founded in 1999 by the legendary Karl Lagerfeld and now a storied destination for bibliophiles, designers, and creative tastemakers in the heart of the 7th arrondissement. More than a bookstore, 7L houses a meticulously curated collection of art, fashion, photography, design, and culture titles displayed like works of art, alongside a private library-studio that was once Lagerfeld’s own creative refuge. Today, it operates as a vibrant cultural hub with publishing (Éditions 7L), bespoke library curation services, and a Friends of 7L salon that offers rare access to intimate readings, performances, and gatherings—embodying the couture sensibility and intellectual curiosity of its founder.
The Porsche X Backdrop
The Porsche X Backdrop collaboration is a special design partnership launched in celebration of Porsche’s 75th anniversary that brings the iconic autmoaker’s most beloved sports-car paint colors into the world of interior design. In collaboration with premium paint brand Backdrop, Porsche released a limited-edition of four heritage hues—Irish Green, Speed Yellow, Ruby Star, and Riviera Blue—all drawn from historic Porsche models and made available as collectible, co-branded paint cans so enthusiasts can “paint their homes to match their dreams.” Each shade reflects a distinct era in Porsche’s color legacy and translates the brand’s bold automotive aesthetic into striking, high-design finishes for walls and interiors.
