03SCOUTING-master675

On Thursday, the designer outlet Saks Off 5th will open its first New York City location. It will include a Gilt shop-in-shop (after the acquisition of the luxury flash-sale site by Saks Fifth Avenue’s parent organization, Hudson Bay Company) that will feature weekly flash sales, starting with Zadig & Voltaire. Snag pieces like a faux-fur hooded jacket ($298, originally $650) for up to 70 percent off while you can. At 125 East 57th Street.

Agnès b. is providing support to the “EDM Anthems: French Touch on Film” series showcasing films about or with soundtracks by French D.J.s and musicians at the French Institute Alliance Française. “Grand Central,” a Léa Seydoux film scored by the French artist Rob, is showing on Tuesday. Tickets are $3 for institute members (free at the door) and $14 for nonmembers at fiaf.org. At 22 East 60th Street.

The French theme continues on Wednesday when Pierre Henri Mattout, founder of the PHM Peres concept store in the St.-Germain neighborhood of Paris, will appear at a new pop-up shop at Bloomingdale’s 59th Street at 5:30 p.m. Stop by to meet the man and check out his curated selection of streetwear brands, including Spalwart and Hender Scheme, performance gear like an Arc’teryx Veilance cotton-blend hooded jacket ($450) and designer fashion.
