February may be a short month but between New York Fashion Week and Valentine’s Day, the fashion industry has plenty in store. Read on for opportunities to explore (see: the Bata Shoe Museum’s new footwear exhibit in Toronto), shop (for, perhaps, Brunello Cucinelli’s new limited edition bag), and more.

Sonia Rykiel Anniversary Collection

In 1968, late designer Sonia Rykiel opened her first boutique in Saint-Germain-des-Prés on Paris’ Left Bank. Now, in celebration of its five-decade reign, the brand has released a capsule collection, Manifesto. Each piece (stamped with Madame Rykiel’s initials, ‘SR’) features words and phrases in the spirit of liberated feminism, honoring the house’s founding era.  Available online and in stores now, the line ranges from $110 for a ‘Baiser’-printed tee to $1,440 for a patch denim peplum jacket. soniarykiel.com

Saks Fifth Avenue Opens Casa Tua Cucina in Miami

For the first time ever, Saks Fifth Avenue has added a dining option to its luxury shopping experience. The mega-retailer’s Brickell City Centre in Miami now hosts Casa Tua Cucina—an 18,000-square-foot gourmet food mecca with ten diverse culinary stations. The hall is open seven days a week, from 8 AM to 11 PM. 81 SW 8th St.; saks.com.

Ralph Lauren Snow Beach Collection

As Ralph Lauren celebrates 25 years since its first snowboarding collection, the American brand is reintroducing vintage styles–like the parka that rapper Raekwon from the Wu-Tang Clan wore in the group’s 1993 ‘Can It Be All So Simple’ music video–and launching all-new designs. Available now at Ralph Lauren and Opening Ceremony stores, the 18-piece collection (part of which is customizable) ranges from $69-$395. ralphlauren.com

Résonances de Cartier: High Jewelry and Precious Objects

Cartier’s latest coffee table book devotes 324 pages to the brand’s exceptional jewelry and precious objects. These particular pieces combine diamonds, emeralds, and rubies with more unexpected stones like smoky quartz and fire opals. Available on February 6, the hardcover retails for $125. rizzoliusa.com

Brunello Cucinelli’s Limited Edition ‘Precious City’ Bag

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Brunello Cucinelli is releasing a limited edition handbag design. The handmade, one-of-a-kind ‘Precious City’ bag employs the Italian brand’s signature monile technique using fine strands of small metal beads over matte calfskin for a uniform, shimmering effect. Each bag, out of the 100 produced, retails for $3,995. brunellocucinelli.com

Bata Shoe Museum’s “The Gold Standard: Glittering Footwear from Around the Globe”

Golden footwear, a status and style symbol dating back to antiquity, resurges this month at Toronto’s Bata Shoe Museum. On view now throughout the year, “The Gold Standard: Glittering Footwear from Around the Globe” exhibit features over 33 artifacts (most incorporating real gold) such as royal 19th-century kicks shaped after golden-feathered birds, and contemporary 2015 Jeremy Scott x Adidas Gold Wings sneakers. 327 Bloor St. W.; batashoemuseum.ca.

L.K.Bennett x Jenny Packham Collaboration

L.K.Bennett enters the bridal market in its latest accessory collaboration with fellow British label Jenny Packham. Inspired by Old Hollywood icons—such as Vivien Leigh and Bette Davis—the versatile collection includes an assortment of flats and heels accompanied by matching satin pouches and structured clutches. Ranging from $295 to $745, the 16 shoe styles and four bag designs are available in L.K.Bennett stores and online. lkbennett.com
