Culture calendar: September 2018

Balenciaga’s Speed and Triple S sneakers reached cult status practically overnight. This month, the French fashion house launches its newest sneaker, Track, along with a capsule collection of hoodies, T-shirts, and socks, at the Selfridges Corner Shop in London. Get them by appointment only from September 3 to 23.

From September 7 to 9, you can ride a gondala up to a multi-course “farm-to-Tahoe” dining experience and enjoy a wine tasting that involves a telescopic viewing of the cosmos. Other highlights of the weekend include a “progressive picnic” during which you’ll stop for beer tastings and bites while hiking through Tahoe National Forest with a professional trail guide.

Starting September 16, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City will present “Judson Dance Theater: The Work is Never Done,” a gallery exhibition and performance program paying tribute to the 1960s’ influential Judson Dance Theater. Now-legendary participants included painter Robert Rauschenberg and sculptor Robert Morris.

On September 28, the Portland Creative Conference (Cre8con) will bring together leading creatives across various industries. Ronnie Wright, footwear design director of Nike’s Jordan brand, and author Chuck Klosterman will discuss their creative process, influences, and more. Proceeds will benefit arts education in Portland.

The Black Rock Forest in the Hudson Valley is a “living laboratory” known for its contributions to ecological research. On September 29, join star Equinox talent on a 12-mile hike through the biosphere and up to the summit of Storm King Mountain. (You might even be able to spot Manhattan in the distance.) You’ll dine mountaintop before descending back to the base and returning to Equinox Sports Club for a spa treatment.
