Clue: These two places (name of place 1 = 6 letters and name of place 2 = 5 letters) have a long standing fight as to who originated this object: (object 1, 2 words, 6, 5), which is basically a (object 2, 2 words: 9, 4) with (object 3, 2 words: 7, 3).
Finally a court case decided that place 1 could use the word "original" together with the object.
These places are located in a city with 6 letters that appears frequently in these game threads.
3rd letter of place 2 = "m"
3rd letter of object 3 = "m"
The first letter of the 2nd word of object 3 is not a very common letter (but not that uncommon either) in English, and that should be a hint for you.

Nope.
I'm not sure how familiar you're with these sorts of things. If you know this then it's obvious (isn't this a tautology...), but if not, it may take a while. Figuring out the city will help, I think.

It's not quite "filled" with apricot jam, but it has layers, I think.
Cafe Sabarsky (in the Neue Galerie) offers a Sacher torte. The chef is the same one as the one at Wallse, a Viennse restaurant in the W. Village.

Known for confessional art (whatever that is). I guess I do have a vague idea, as her name is the only one I recognized in the Contemporary Art Festival I saw in Seville in October.
The company is Longchamp.
Yes, the Sacher torte in Salzburg must count -- I've never been to Salzburg though.

Clue: This designer (2 words: 4, 9), in a bit of a surprise move, offered his services to this company (3 words: 6, 3, 7). Unfortunately, you're probably not able to buy any of these pieces anymore.
2nd letter of 1st word of company = "e"
2nd letter of 1st word of company = "e"

Now I know why I don't know the answer, because I don't shop there! 
Karl Largerfeld for H&M (Hennes and Mauritz).
[I should have known this, as you mentioned before that you want to use Largerfeld as a clue!]

Pretty sure that the hotel and the kitchen is the Mercer (in SoHo).
I'm thinking the designer is Christian Liagret, who designs these sorts of things -- muted colors, etc. You know, our favorite modern decors.

Sorry, it's Liaigre.
The hotel is the Hotel Montalembert -- the restaurant there (Robuchon's Atelier) would not seat me. I'm not hip enough.
I need to find the other designer.
By the way, I think that Liaigre's shop in Paris is right across from the Hotel M. It's also next to the gallery with an outpost in the S. of France. What's the name again? I forget. It has some Matisse paintings in the window.

Apparently Liaigre designed Calvin Klein's home:

I actually like CK's sheets a lot. I bought a fitted sheet once, and it looked much worse in the apartment.

Ok, I'm off for the weekend. I'll try to check in, but just continue without me if you solve the clue. Have a nice weekend, everyone.
