CITY Issue 59

///////// ACTION In The Know BOOK: IDEO EYES OPEN IDEO Eyes Open guides for New York and London help you, well, open your eyes to unusual locales and happenings in those cities that you may overlook. For example, many of us have marveled at the spectacular views of the ﬁnancial district and the Brooklyn Bridge from Fulton Ferry Landing Pier on Manhattan’s southern tip. But IDEO suggests turning your attention to the camera-toting tourists who interfere with professional photographers as they all battle to get that perfect shot. The arguments can be even more entertaining than the architecture. $22.95 — RL ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Oh, the Irony TELEVISION: TOMMY HILFIGER'S IRONIC, ICONIC AMERICA Bravo is taking one of its fall reality programs beyond just Orange County and New York City. On October 3, the network will air “Ironic Iconic America,” a one-hour special tour of iconic American destinations — produced by fashion mogul Tommy Hilﬁger. The quintessential American designer opens the show by discussing the inﬂuence of pop culture on American tastes and styles, and giving his take on beauty, fashion, love, sex, design, and food across the country. Along for the ride are former “Def Poetry Jam” artist Rives, and Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli, who hit the road (in a classic red convertible, of course) to visit various American destinations, both popular and obscure. Iconic stops in Philadelphia and Las Vegas include visits to Independence Hall and a drive thru wedding chapel respectively, while the adventurous pair also ﬁnds themselves at the Necco Sweetheart factory in Massachusetts and in upstate New York to watch the Headless Horseman ride. The result is a whimsical (and well-dressed) tour of the American landscape. — CTS HEARD HA YOU VE ? THAT ROBERTO CAVALLI WILL OPEN CAVALLI CLUB, HIS FIRST NIGHTCLUB IN DUBAI THIS NOVEMBER? Thirst Quencher COLLABORATION: NOBODY WAS THIRSTY A United Nations committee has stated: “The human right to water is indispensable for leading a healthy life in human dignity. It is a pre-requisite to the realization of all other human rights.” It seems few heard that message more clearly than Ivan Kane, nightlife maverick and owner of the Los Angeles Café Wa S, and Scott Harrison of charity:water. The two teamed up with Australian design house Nobody to produced the Nobody Wa S Thirsty T-shirt, which is to be sold nationwide this fall. Proﬁts from the sale of each shirt — enough money to provide clean drinking water for two people for the next 20 years — will go directly to funding water and sanitation projects throughout the world. — JW 32 CITY TY
