Sabyasachi Mukherjee is back at New York Fashion Week after two decades, and the question is whether his brand's Indian textile roots can translate into a global luxury identity. Multiple outlets are covering it.

Sabyasachi's NYFW return and Brooklyn's runway
Fashion is the day's strongest thread, with two very different kinds of global ambition playing out: Sabyasachi Mukherjee returns to New York Fashion Week for the first time in 20 years, while KidSuper's Colm Dillane took over Brooklyn City Hall with a Lauryn Hill surprise. Both stories are about designers staking a claim, one on the global luxury stage, the other on their home borough.
Fashion's two ambitions
Two fashion stories today, each about a different kind of taking over: Sabyasachi aiming for global luxury, KidSuper for local community.
KidSuper's Colm Dillane turned Brooklyn City Hall into a community runway for the second year running, and a surprise Lauryn Hill performance made it a bigger cultural moment than a typical fashion show.
Film festival buzz
The Toronto Film Festival keeps generating strong reviews, with Mahershala Ali's crime thriller and Zack Snyder's latest earning attention.
Mahershala Ali plays a devout Muslim contract killer in 'Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother,' a crime thriller that's getting strong early reviews for its character work.
Zack Snyder's 'The Last Photograph' is being described as violent but human, and reviewers are noting it avoids the political associations of his earlier work, a shift in tone.
