Amiri is officially tuning into the beautiful game. With the World Cup returning to Los Angeles, the brand has dropped a super-exclusive, ten-piece Tournament Collection that brings together football heritage, Californian identity and the house’s signature approach to luxury streetwear. Drawing inspiration from classic football kits and the culture surrounding the sport, the capsule reinterprets…
It was 1985 when the Beogram 3000 turntable was released – the same year the compact disc was beginning to win the argument about the future of music. Forty years later, Bang & Olufsen has restored one, paired it with modern streaming speakers and limited the whole thing to 100 pieces. The argument, it turns out, was never fully resolved. Founded in 1925 in Struer by Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen,…
Few bags in history have had a mugger stopped in his tracks. The Fendi Baguette has. In that iconic episode of ‘Sex and the City,’ Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw told him: “It’s not a bag, it’s a Baguette.” He backed down and twenty-something years later, with Parker herself back in a Fendi campaign, the line lands with the same force it always did – because nothing about the Baguette has…
From meaningful experiences to long-term financial planning, building a wealthy lifestyle today requires balancing present enjoyment with future security.
The post The Modern Approach to Curating a Wealthy Lifestyle appeared first on LUXUO.
Thomas Radford stops beside a patch of greenery that most people would step over without a second thought, reaches down, and holds up a small, heart-shaped leaf. “Enchanter’s nightshade”, he announces, with the tone of someone about to reveal something magnificent. “And you’d think, ‘Oh wow, must be dangerous, sort of magical’, but it actually doesn’t really do anything.” The group laughs.…
The Louis Vuitton Monogram turned 130 this year, and the house has been marking the occasion with numerous celebratory releases running since January. Its latest announcement? The official debut of Monogram Emblème, a tactile evolution that traces its lineage straight back to the inception of the iconic motif itself. Originally created in 1896 by Georges Vuitton as a tribute to his father Louis,…
Nearly a year into his tenure at Balenciaga, Pierpaolo Piccioli is becoming increasingly interesting. Spring 2027, titled ’Unsized,’ is his most considered collection for the house yet: a rethinking of what clothing can be when it stops insisting on a fixed relationship with the body beneath it. The concept reiterates a central Balenciaga edict, the integrity of the human body as the base for…
Jimmy Choo has unveiled its Summer 2026 men’s campaign, continuing its ‘Creators’ series by shifting from structured urban settings to the slow, bucolic rhythm of the British countryside. Titled ‘Summer in Bloom,’ the project stars model and professional flower farmer Alfie Nickerson – accompanied by his dachshund, Wolfie – to explore how raw botanical textures can intersect with high-end luxury…
Erdem has launched a limited-edition Pride t-shirt in collaboration with legendary Bloomsbury bookshop Gay’s The Word to directly support three vital LGBTQIA+ charities: akt, Not A Phase, and the Terrence Higgins Trust.

ALO is launching its first-ever ‘Summer Atelier collection,’ taking a format that has existed since 2022 as a winter-season proposition and moving it somewhere warmer. The destination, at least in spirit, is the French Riviera. Shot in Cannes, the accompanying campaign stars longtime friends and supermodels Candice Swanepoel and Behati Prinsloo, whose sun-soaked ease mirrors the collection’s…
This June, Saint Laurent Babylone is hosting ‘Daydreaming of Him,’ a photography exhibition by French-Australian artist Christopher Barraja, curated by Anthony Vaccarello. The exhibition marks Barraja’s first major presentation at the Left Bank cultural space and offers an intimate look into a body of work shaped by memory, desire and the sun-soaked landscapes of the Mediterranean. Vaccarello has…
Marc Newson’s most famous design is a chair. The Lockheed Lounge, to be exact, made in 1986 which bent aluminium into a curving, futuristic form so prescient that it became the most expensive functional design object ever sold by a living creator, auctioning for around $3.2 million in 2015. Thirty years on, his newest aluminium invention is considerably more portable, and considerably more…
Jaden Smith is officially moving the Christian Louboutin man into a 17th-century French château, and the housewarming party is a full-on clash of generations.

Conceived by Smith himself, the visual narrative presents a cast of characters living…

Luxury travel has long been defined by where you stay. Increasingly, however, it is also about what you experience once you arrive. That idea sits at the heart of ‘Explore: The Leading Hotels of the World,’ a new coffee table book celebrating adventure, wellbeing and transformative journeys through some of the world’s most remarkable hotels. Released this month, the publication marks the third…
Charaf Tajer’s childhood memories of Paris are taking over the city’s most institutional pastry counters this summer. The Parisian pâtisserie house Ladurée has partnered with Casablanca for a limited-edition collection spanning macarons, pastries, ready-to-wear and accessories. Both brands share a deep appreciation for colour, craftsmanship and the art of turning everyday rituals into something…
Mykonos has spent much of the past decade balancing two identities. One continues to revolve around beach clubs, international DJs and packed summer calendars. The other is attracting travellers who arrive for the same scenery but are looking for a different pace once they get there. That shift forms the backdrop to the arrival of Omeon Mykonos, a new adults-only retreat that officially opened…
With such unpredictable weather, it’s becoming harder to decide what to wear and pack for the holidays. For Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2027 Men’s Pre-Collection, Pharrell Williams takes that everyday dilemma and transforms it into the collection’s entire premise. Titled ‘Whatever the Weather,’ the latest offering from the Men’s Creative Director is built around movement between cities, time…
German luggage house Rimowa is turning its attention to the stories that travel alongside its products with the launch of ‘For a Lifetime of Lives,’ a new global campaign centred on movement, creativity and the passage of time. The campaign follows a single aluminium Rimowa case across multiple generations, examining how objects can accumulate meaning through the lives they accompany. Directed by…
The first thing you notice in Grasse is the smell. The crisp air and the freshness of damp soil beneath your feet, crushed leaves crunching underfoot – it’s invigorating. Then something deeper and more vibrant draws your attention as the temperature rises and roses begin to unfurl slowly. Up in the hills of Grasse, in the south of France, around 30 kilometres from the perfume capital itself, the…
Balenciaga’s latest campaign opens with what appears to be a perfectly ordinary Manhattan morning. Sarah Pidgeon steps onto the pavement carrying a black leather Le City bag, weaving through crowds with the kind of hurried determination New Yorkers have practically weaponised into an aesthetic. Then the illusion cracks. A voice shouts “cut,” cameras pull back and the entire scene reveals itself…
Summer handbags tend to fall into two extremes: either they become impractically tiny accessories built for yacht selfies or oversized raffia clichés that spend most of August buried under sunscreen and receipts. Stella McCartney’s latest ‘Summer of Love 2026’ collection disrupts this cycle, reconnecting luxury fashion with the communities, ecosystems and generational craftsmanship behind the…
Howdy, howdy, folks.
For many years (ten now, about which, more soon) McMansion Hell has featured many prominent and diverse atrocities from all over these great United States and sometimes beyond them. However, most of these posts have consisted of houses built during the McMansion Era proper – from the 80s up through around the early 2010s.
This is for a number of reasons. First of all: I…
Somewhere in the development of this campaign, someone at Chanel sat across a table from Alfonso Cuarón and said: ‘action film.’ And Cuarón, who has spent his career making films about children born into a dying world, a woman tumbling through space, a summer road trip that ends in grief, said yes. The result is the first action film in the house’s fragrance advertising history, and it is exactly…
The beleaguered luxury phone maker is pushing the AlphaFold, which has decent specs and comes with Vertu’s new Hermes Agent on board, to wealthy would-be buyers.
Maria Grazia Chiuri’s second act at Fendi arrives with far more clarity. Cruise 2027 strips away the grand declarations and focuses instead on what Chiuri appears most invested in rebuilding at the Roman house right now: a sharper, more instinctive wardrobe centred on material, construction and the way clothes sit against the body. Presented through the dreamlike short film ‘Beyond the Mirror,’…
