PARIS (AP) — Chitose Abe’s latest collection for Sacai is a masterful evolution of her signature hybridization, where garments aren’t just worn —they move, morph, and envelop. The fall show on Monday embraced the art of wrapping, cocooning its protagonist in layers that exuded both protection and sensuality.This season, Abe softened the brand’s signature deconstruction with an almost liquid elegance. Gone were the heavy-duty mashups of past seasons, replaced with sleek, elongated silhouettes that whispered rather than shouted. The designer took cues from her menswear collection, borrowing fur elements but reimagining them with a lighter touch — fur trims on…

Lemon bars are prized for their tangy-sweetness, but the bright acidity of lemon juice can overwhelm other nuanced flavors and read as a little one-note. In our book, “ Milk Street Bakes,” we bring balance to the sunny dessert by incorporating a small measure of fruity, savory olive oil in both the custard and crust. If you have a bottle of top-shelf olive oil, this is the time to use it, though high-quality supermarket brands work well, too. Just be sure to use extra-virgin olive oil, which has far more character than refined regular and light olive oils. Using egg…
