Ziggy, a sphynx cat, perches on Alex Kneller’s shoulder while Luna sits on his lap in New York City’s East Village on February 5. “The cats have been more than thrilled to have both of us home alone for almost a year now,” says Kneller’s wife, photographer Dina Litovsky. “They have been our constant companions throughout quarantine, making the time feel much less lonely.”

At the International Science and Engineering Fair in Anaheim, California, Russian high school student Inna Larina peers through a viewing device for the visually impaired that she designed with another student.

People relax in one of the fifty hammocks strung throughout Spruce Street Harbour Park, a seasonal network of biergartens, landscaped barges, floating gardens, and outdoor games bordering Philadelphia’s Delaware River waterfront.

Dubbed the “City of Minarets,” Istanbul is home to thousands of mosques, including the Yeni Cami, or “New Mosque,” pictured here, which this year celebrated its 356th birthday.

A flurry of visitors pose for photographs inside Istanbul’s 17th-century Blue Mosque. Known for its 20,000-plus glossy blue tiles, stained glass windows, massive domes, and mother-of-pearl inlays, the opulent mosque was designed by architect and poet Sedefkâr Mehmed Ağa, whose title—Sedefkâr—means “worker of mother-of-pearl.”

Crowds gather to enjoy an evening full of food, games and rides at the Race Street Pier in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The colourful pier is located near the bustling Central Delaware Waterfront, near the heart of downtown.

“Walking from one end [of the beach] to another is one of my favourite things to do in the city,” says photographer Dina Litovsky. In Tel Aviv, the beach scene changes dramatically: a southern spot popular with Muslim families sits alongside a tourist section, followed by a closed Orthodox Jewish area and locals’ unofficial LGBT beach in the north, where this photo was taken.

"Designers are responsive to the moment," says the show's curator, Michelle Finamore.

The exhibit honors designers like Rad Hourani, Jean Paul Gaultier, Alessandro Michele for Gucci, Palomo, and Rei Kawakubo.
