In 29 days New York gets American fashion’s biggest night, a Los Angeles nightlife group’s first Manhattan room and indie film’s black-tie dinner. Here’s the calendar, and why the middle date matters most to anyone who goes out on both coasts.

The Nightlife Report take

Lady Delilah is the story to watch. When an LA supper club crosses to Manhattan, it tests whether a West Hollywood room can travel. We’ll report from the door.
