For the past six years, the cannabis company Rose has been serving Californians THC in the form of Turkish delight-like edibles in flavors such as Apple Ume Ginger and Rose Hibiscus, partnering with local farms and chefs to release new concoctions on a regular basis. Now that New York has legalized marijuana for recreational use, the company has come east: After launching a production facility in Albany, Rose will be selling its delights in Manhattan starting May 11 exclusively at Gotham, a two-story cannabis store opening in the East Village. The brand is also planning a new array of collaborations, starting with the chef and food scientist David Zilber, who applied his Noma-honed skills to the development of a spicy gochugaru-coated Nashi pear and kimchi flavor. Later this summer, Rose plans to release a pineapple jelly roll edible created with the pastry chef Natasha Pickowicz and a yet to be announced flavor from the roving Vietnamese pop-up restaurant Ha’s Đặc Biệt. From $40, available in store at Gotham.

Nearly 100 Years of Gucci, on View in Shanghai
This week in Shanghai, Gucci opened Gucci Cosmos, an immersive experience that takes visitors through eight revolving doors — a replica of London’s Savoy Hotel, where the brand’s founder, Guccio Gucci, first had the idea to start a luggage company in the late 1800s — and guides them through a series of rooms filled with historical objects, photographs and decades of gowns, suits and stilettos. Designed by the British artist Es Devlin, the exhibition consists of eight rooms, or “worlds,” as the brand refers to them, including one called Zoetrope, a look at Gucci’s equestrian roots through helmets, boots and bit loafers, and another named Eden, which presents a timeline of the 1966 Flora print by the artist and illustrator Vittorio Accornero de Testa. Originally created for a silk scarf worn by Princess Grace of Monaco, the print has since been adopted and adapted by many of the house’s designers. The show is curated by the Italian fashion historian and critic Maria Luisa Frisa, who combed the company’s almost 100-year archive to fill the exhibition with clothing but also curiosities like an ostrich feather fan designed by the former creative director Alessandro Michele and an electric guitar from the Tom Ford era. Shanghai’s West Bund Art Center is just the first stop for the exhibition, which the brand plans to reinstall in additional locations around the world.
