Pierre-Antoine Capton, the co-founder and CEO of Mediawan, was named Knight of the Legion of Honor by French President Emmanuel Macron during a ceremony held at the Elysée Palace in Paris.
Capton was honored alongside other French figures who have made outstanding contributions to the country’s cultural landscape, including the filmmaker Costa Gavras, actor and novelist Marlène Jobert, contemporary artist Jean-Michel Othoniel, historian Pierre Nora, choreographer Claude Bessy, journalist Jean-Claude Narcy and conductor Jean-Claude Casadesus.

Tiffany & Co., New York
Four years in the making, the remodeled iconic Tiffany & Co. flagship at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street (pictured above) just debuted, christened with a massive celeb-studded party (where Florence Pugh told THR, “My very, very first boyfriend actually got me my first Tiffany necklace, and I’ll never forget it.”) Newly dubbed The Landmark, the redesigned 1940 building features custom artwork, immersive displays and a dedicated high-jewelry space. The extensive 10-floor project took four years to complete and was overseen by architect and designer Peter Marino. On the main floor, what was once an interior of dark wood paneling has been transformed to become a light and bright space, including oversized arched “windows” that are actually video installations depicting the surrounding city. The main floor includes an overhead “Diamond Skylight” installation by artist Hugh Hutton, while the back wall is dominated by a 1982 painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat,...

The wait was long, and the wait was worth it. At least 10 years in the making and after three years of construction, Chanel’s stunning new Beverly Hills flagship has opened at 400 N. Rodeo Drive. Clocking in at 30,000 square feet, it’s now the biggest Chanel store in the United States and more than double the size of its previous Rodeo Drive space.
The May 5 opening comes just days after Chanel sponsored the Karl Lagerfeld-themed Met Gala, where everyone from house ambassadors Kristen Stewart, Blackpink’s Jennie, Marion Cotillard, Penélope Cruz and Margot Robbie to Lizzo, Dua Lipa and Kendrick Lamar wore the house’s designs. And in just a few days, on May 10, creative director Virginie Viard will present the Chanel 2024 Cruise collection at an unrevealed location in Los Angeles, only the second time it’s staged a runway show in L.A. (The first was a Lagerfeld...
