We'll be gazing at KATE THE GREAT H er first name invoked in the fashion firmament conveys it all: Kate, aka Kate Moss. This global ambassadress of insouciant glamour has been a muse to designers and increasingly artists since she burst upon the scene as a fresh face in the early 1990s. Now there's Kate the auction, as Christie's London taps European collector Gert Elfering to curate Kate images and creations that span two decades, destined for the block next month. Large-format photos in small editions were commissioned for this special sale, which encompasses celebrated photographers Irving Penn, Mario Testino, Juergen Teller and Annie Leibovitz alongside artists Sam Taylor-Wood and Chuck Close, the latter represented by a velvety jacquard tapestry portrait twice life-size. We're also taken with the vibe-y lightning-bolt image of Moss by Nick Knight and, above all, a Barbie-esque photo of Kate in a bronze cat suit, snapped by Allen Jones. "Kate Moss: The Collection," at Christie's London, September 25; public exhibition September 21 through 24; e-catalog available in September; christies.com. Catherine D. Anspon Jacqueline Kennedy, circa 1965 WHAT TO INHALE Fall is all about October events, specifically "Nasher XChange" October 19 and TWO x TWO for AIDS and Art the following weekend. Dallas will be invaded by an international community of curators, artists, gallerists and collectors. J.D. Salinger Sicilian scent. Inspired while motorbiking through Formentera in the Balearic Islands, perfumer Francis Kurkdjian dreamed up Aqua Vitae.

Amy Adams Olfactive Studio Period Piece Gucci Viceroy Hotel NY WHERE WE'RE LAYING OUR HEADS EYE, MEET NOSE That's the idea behind Olfactive Studio, a holy union between contemporary imagery and olfactory alchemy. The launch includes five unisex scents — Autoportrait, Chambre Noire (Dark Room), Still Life, Lumière Blance (White Light) and Flashback — that represent a first-time collaboration between one world-class photographer and one master perfumer. From $145, exclusively at Forty Five Ten. Amy Adams Allen Jones' Kate Moss (bronze glitter), 2013, at Christie's London Charles Dickens' Great Expectations is reimagined this fall by director Mike Newell, and we'll go, if for nothing else, to see Miss Havisham's dusty environs and the much-worn wedding dress. The fatalistic tale of Pip is brought to life by a cast of Brits that also includes Jeremy Irvine as Pip and Helena Bonham Carter as Miss Havisham. While its themes of morality and destiny are compelling, what we love most is the lavish art direction. Opening October 11. Seth Vaughan Christen Wilson, 2013 chairman, TWO x TWO for AIDS and Art The Eagles, circa 1974 BBC FILMS Helena Bonham Carter as Miss Havisham in Great Expectations Nick Knight's Kate 'Aladdin Sane,' 2003, at Christie's London WHAT TO WATCH It's safe to assume Holden Caulfield would use neither "phony" nor "crumby" to describe the upcoming Salinger documentary. It's hard to imagine the nine-years-in-the-making film about reclusive author J.D. Salinger — which features interviews with 150 subjects including A. Scott Berg, Gore Vidal, E.L. Doctorow and Philip Seymour Hoffman — as anything but Oscar bait. Shane Salerno of such action fare as Savages and Armageddon wrote, produced, financed and directed the feature, which promises confidential revelations come September 6. Amy Adams We're hot to hole up in two new hotel projects in New York City, both by design duo Roman & Williams (New York's Ace Hotel, restaurants The Dutch, John Dory Oyster Bar, Lafayette, plus the still-bumping Boom Boom Room at the Standard Hotel). The justopened Highline Hotel in Chelsea is a 60-room English Gothic wonder, built in 1895 as student housing for the General Theological Seminary. It's an amalgam of original stained-glass windows, moldings and pine floors that overlooks — you guessed it — Highline Park. In midtown, the new Viceroy New York opens in October on 57th Street, across from Central Park. The Viceroy sizzles with modern and glamorous elements, similar to its sister properties. Kate Stukenberg Highline Hotel in Chelsea, NY WHAT TO LISTEN TO C Elvis Costello and Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson of The Roots lash of the titans! Our not-so-secret crush Elvis Costello has teamed up with hip-hop baddies The Roots to bring us Wise Up Ghost (Blue Note Records), an album that the former describes as "the shortest distance between here and there." We've already committed these lyrics to memory: "The solitary star announcing vacancy burnt out as we arrived; they'd throw us back across the border if they knew that we survived." Available September 17, at amazon.com. Amy Adams
