"Most of them are up-and-coming designers," Urbinati says, "but that's not why I buy them. I buy what I love." This season the owners summon their New York roots with the arrival of Brooklyn-made suits designed by Urbinati and Albert Hammond Jr. of the garage band the Strokes.

They commissioned Of Time and the City, which Davies fashioned into a kind of Liverpool mon amour: a 71-min. documemoir that underscores newsreels of the city, home movies and new footage with romantic strains from Liszt, Mahler, Brahms, Fauré.
