It may feel like the world is going to hell, but for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, it’s a Bonfire of the Vanities moment. In a little less than two weeks, the billionaire and his fiancée will take over Venice for the wedding that will be a three-day party, and Stuart Heritage tells us what we can expect. Then, speaking of the ultra-rich seizing control of beautiful destinations, Joseph Bullmore reports from the Cotswolds on how Stephen Schwarzman, the billionaire chairman and C.E.O. of Blackstone, has ruffled feathers among locals. And finally, there might have been no fashion designer more beloved in New York City than the late Kate Spade. The company’s co-founder, Elyce Arons, has written a book about her, and she’ll discuss how Spade went from being a broke student in Kansas to the name on every New York woman’s purse.
