Leading Sotheby's Fashion Icons Sale in Paris on the 10th of July, to coincide with Paris Haute Couture Week, is Jane Birkin's original Hermès Birkin. Created in 1984 with Hermès CEO Jean-Louis Dumas, this black leather prototype sparked the creation of the Birkin bag, one of the most iconic handbags of our time, and one that's still going strong in its fifth decade.

Morgane Halimi, Sotheby's Global Head of Handbags and Fashion, says, 'There is no doubt that the Original Birkin bag is a true one-of-a-kind — a singular piece of fashion history that has grown into a pop culture phenomenon that signals luxury in the most refined way possible. It is incredible to think that a bag initially designed by Hermès as a practical accessory for Jane Birkin, has become the most desirable bag in history and will most likely continue to be so for many years to come. The prototype that started it all carries a soul and legacy that no other handbag can claim, that's in no small part why we are thrilled to be able to exhibit it at Sotheby's New York before it is sold in Paris on 10 July, just as the fashion world gathers in the capital for Haute Couture Week.'

Five legends, one page: How Patrick Ryan secured a sports memorabilia masterpiece
Getting an autograph from just one of sports' 'GOATs' is a challenge. Now imagine securing signatures from Babe Ruth, Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Wayne Gretzky and Lionel Messi – and to make it more impressive, getting them all to sign the same item. Then imagine doing it in just one year. That's exactly what super collector Patrick Ryan pulled off, creating a one-of-a-kind piece that spans a century of sports greatness. On June 29, 2024, Ryan claimed a nearly 100-year-old autograph album at auction, its prize possession a page signed by Ruth. That single purchase would spark an extraordinary quest – one that would produce one of the most remarkable pieces of sports memorabilia ever assembled. 'When I bought the Babe Ruth signed album page … it just looked kind of empty and it looked lonely,' Ryan told CNN Sports. That's when he realized he had an upcoming opportunity. Brady was scheduled to attend a Sotheby's and Fanatics sports card auction the following week. 'I said, you know what, maybe there's some ways to spruce up this Babe Ruth autograph,' Ryan said. Brady was the first modern legend to join Ruth's signature. Ryan brought the album page – and a gift – to the auction. 'It was a ticket to the 1981 NFC Championship game, which he famously attended to watch the Dwight Clark catch,' Ryan said. When Brady got up to leave, Ryan presented the ticket before asking for the favor. 'His eyes definitely lit up when he saw what I was having him sign.' From there, Ryan began plotting the rest. Gretzky's signature came next through mutual friends during the NHL Winter Classic in Chicago. A few months later, Messi signed during a private session with Icons, an autograph company. The final piece was Jordan. Ryan kept details private but said, 'Michael has a lot of respect for … the other guys that are on this piece of paper, and I think that's what motivated him to want to make sure it got done.' Remarkably, Ryan secured all five autographs within a year. When it came time to share the finished 'GOAT' page with the world, Ryan knew he wanted Brady to be the one to reveal it. Brady had been the first living legend to sign the page after Ruth, and his connection to the memorabilia world through his investment in trading card stores made him the perfect choice. The reveal took place at the National Sports Collectors Convention in Chicago. Standing face-to-face with the seven-time Super Bowl champion, Ryan handed him the slabbed album page without explanation. Brady turned it over, took in the sight of all five autographs, and his eyes widened. A smile broke across his face as he leaned in to study it more closely. 'To me, the fact that Tom didn't know what I was showing him really was the icing on the cake because we got a really genuine reaction from him,' Ryan said. 'For him to react the way he did was definitely special.' The moment, captured on video, quickly approached a million views online. Now authenticated by sports memorabilia experts PSA and Beckett, the page features five autographs in distinct shades of blue ink: Jordan, Ruth, Brady, Gretzky and Messi. Ryan says the item is not for sale. 'Most of the autographs were gifted to me, so that would be inappropriate to sell it,' he said. Instead, he plans to eventually place it in a museum. 'I think it will live on in a museum whenever my time here passes … so I'll be able to enjoy it for a long, long time.' In the meantime, he's open to displaying it at events or locations meaningful to the athletes. 'A few museums have reached out. … I'm more than willing to have it on display where these athletes would want it,' Ryan said. Ryan has been a collector since age 7, when he sold baseball cards by the roadside. For him, this piece is more than just ink on paper. 'The fact that I've had so many people reach out … that's been really fun,' he said. 'The whole process has been very rewarding, but I'm always looking for what's next in my journey as a collector.' Still, having five of the greatest team-sport athletes in history on one page – and seeing Brady's stunned reaction to the completed piece – gave Ryan perspective. 'It's such a unique piece. … I'm becoming very focused on making sure other pieces in my collection are directionally in that way,' Ryan said.

Brunello Cucinelli and Wölffer Estate Celebrate Summer in the Hamptons
When it rains, it pours. But on Thursday night, the rainy afternoon and New York's flash flooding cleared the way for a pleasant, breezy dinner out east. For a second year, Brunello Cucinelli linked with Wölffer Estate to host a summertime celebration in the Hamptons. The family-owned Wölffer Estate Stables set the scene for another leisurely evening of wine, Italian cuisine, and convivial conversation. The stable-boarded horses, who occasionally popped their head out from their stables to check out the action, were the party MVPs as guests flocked to say hello. Toward the end of cocktail hour, Joey Wölffer led one of the horses around the central cobblestone area, as a live guitar duo played nearby and bartenders poured a selection of wines from the vineyards. More from WWD Gucci Celebrates GG Monogram Campaign With Emily Ratajkowski in the Hamptons Giorgio Armani Heads to Shelter Island for Mare 2025 Party Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Jacquelyn Jablonski, Sai de Silva Join Max Mara and Marcolin to Fete Latest Eyewear Collection at Wölffer Estate Vineyard A tented dinner setup wasn't the first choice, but ' sometimes things work out the way they're supposed to,' said Wölffer, glancing toward the crowd gathered underneath the clear-top tent and canopy of twinkle lights. A three-tier fountain was the focal point, encircled by two long, curved dinner tables. 'When I walked down here today, I was like — actually, it's spectacular, and it ties the whole area together.' Heading into the second stretch of summer, Wölffer is looking forward to more beach dinners — when the weather allows. 'August is all about beach dinners with the kids and family and being together,' she said. For Brunello Cucinelli chief executive officer Ricardo Stefanelli, the next month is all about family time in Sardinia. ' It's one of the most beautiful places in the world to me,' said Stefanelli, who flew in earlier that day for the dinner and would return the next morning. ' In Italy we all go to vacation in August. It is the month where everything slows down a little bit. We did a lot during the last two months for the presentation of collection, everything went very well. So we're very happy and ready to go on vacation. And then the back to school [season] will come.' The CEO underscored the brand's strong connection to the Hamptons, which he described as ' very similar to our community in Solomeo. It's a very small community of people that loves beauty, loves to take care of what they do and what they are. They love to give back.' During cocktail hour Stefanelli greeted Alexandra Daddario and husband Andrew Form, glasses of Wölffer Estate sparkling rose in hand. Nearby, Sailor Brinkley was video-ing the baskets of heirloom tomatoes and cheese displays within Brunello-coded stalls. 'It's too beautiful,' said Sailor Brinkley, as she was invited to sample from the 'mercato' displays. Her mother, Christie Brinkley, took up the offer, as she was handed a jar of pomodori tucked among vine-ripe tomatoes. Other guests, dressed in a spectrum of Brunello Cucinelli's earthy color palette, included Don Lemon, Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Gabby Karan De Felice, David Burtka, Tamron Hall, Candace Bushnell, Marc Metrick, Roopal Patel, Isaac Boots, Casey Fremont, Carolyn Angel, Sharareh Siadat, and other Hamptons regulars. 'I'm obsessed with these pants,' said Isaac Boot, stopping to compare his similar belted linen fit with another guest. As dinner began with a course of a shared antipasti spread of grilled vegetables, fried sage leaves, and more, Marc Wölffer welcomed the crowd with a spirited 'buonasera' before toasting to the collaboration between the two 'iconic lifestyle brands.' 'At first glance we might appear we're of different worlds: fashion, wine,' he said. 'But you look closer and you see that we share the same heartbeat. Both Brunello and Wölffer Estate were born from family…. We're both grounded in heritage, and driven by innovation.' 'I feel like I'm…back in my little town in Southern Italy,' said Massimo Caronna, CEO of Brunello Cucinelli North America, gazing out at the dining setup and bubbling fountain. The dinner might have reminded Caronna of his hometown, but he's since made the Hamptons his home, after opening Brunello's first store out east. 'People would ask me, 'where's your home?'' he said. 'One night I looked at my wife and said, 'I think we need to buy a house here, I feel people they want us to be part of the community.'' Stefanelli, who's married to Camilla Cucinelli, did his best to explain to his daughter where he was headed for the quick 24-hour trip. He summed up East Hampton as best he could: 'Where the cool people go.'
