There comes a time in life, when one is at a loss for words. Mostly, this comes at a time of great loss, which we, as a team are experiencing right now. We lost not only our publisher, but also our friend, our guiding light and our greatest supporter.

Playing WITH CONTRASTS

Jackets with exaggerated shoulders paired with corsets, miniskirts, and sheer fabrics create an image of a self-confident yet sophisticated woman who can handle anything! Democratic at first glance, garments emphasize femininity and add a hint of sexuality. Miuccia Prada, in her Miu Miu collection, masterfully embodied the low-waist miniskirts, a hit of the Spring/Summer season, in her Fall/Winter collection, complementing the looks with coats and oversized jackets. Playing on the contrast of bare legs and a layered top, Miuccia Prada showed her take on this season’s contrasting trend. Donatella Versace showcased her vision of contrast through the corseted puffer jackets featured in much of the collection, creating a feminine yet liberated feminine look with men’s oversized jackets. In his third RTW collection for Fendi, Kim Jones created a contrasting combination…

A modern and strong expression of style, defined by a crescent shape with a large carry-all design, in crackled metallic silver leather.

It’s multi-functional too, which we adore, as its can be worn as a satchel bag or as a shoulder bag, thanks to its adjustable handle. Comfort and excellent underarm wearability customary of the brand are ensured for by its circular armhole.…

Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Dior Fall-Winter 2022/23 Collection, suspended between the past, present, and future, is intended to reinterpret Christian Dior’s classical, timeless masterpieces. This collection focuses on presenting the complexities of fashion by revisiting history in order to imagine tomorrow’s lines. It’s a true adventure, sculpting the artefacts of a new universe with the help of sharply fitted jackets, neon jumpsuits, and, most interestingly, the designer’s iconic tulle gowns with shoulder pads.

Chantal Thomass: THE WOMAN WHO MADE LINGERIE A FASHION STATEMENT

A rebel and the first designer to transform lingerie into a fashion statement and symbol of female empowerment, Ms Chantal Thomass has contributed to the industry like no other. Recognizable for her fringe, black and white attire, and signature pink ribbons, Thomass is one of the first women bosses to establish an independent fashion label in the 1970s. Just after her auction, “40 ans de Mode”, which displayed her most iconic creations, Chantal looked back at her days of pushing the envelope and being part of the up-and-coming fashion gang of Thierry Mugler and Kenzo. Chantal, you recently celebrated your 40th anniversary in the fashion industry. How do you look back at your career? I did very interesting things in my life. When I started in the 1970s, there were…

ODE TO LUXURY Schiaparelli

“An Age of Discipline” is the name of Schiaparelli’s Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2022 collection. The head designer of the House, Daniel Roseberry said that the collection was conceived and created in April, “in a period of hope. Vaccines appeared, it was possible to travel again. It seemed that our collective nightmare was a thing of the past, or at least would soon be.” And the new collection is an ode to uncompromising luxury, the return of true Haute Couture. Laconic and graphic silhouettes are completed with intricate décor and bright details (this combination of simplicity and pretentiousness is one of the characteristic features of the House). The collection uses only three colors – black, white and gold, the trademark of the House, so it looks incredibly spectacular. He was criticized…

The French Haute Couturier Series: Q&A WITH FRANCK SORBIER

How did your career commence? I started cutting fabrics and drawing instinctively. After graduating from high school, I moved to Paris to learn how to draw and design for three years. I won a special jury award and did a tour of different fashion houses in their commercial departments. I wanted to work in fashion but not on the business side, so I started slowly doing small collections, and after several, I got media coverage. I was approached by major stores like Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and Galeries Lafayette. I eventually launched my couture career in 1999. One thing led to another; I gained loyal clients who appreciated my aesthetics. I also worked on uniforms for events in the sports and business industry, for the opera and the concerts of…

Botanic Masterpiece

Tiffany is well known for bringing the archived and unrealized designs of its iconic master jewellers to life. This time, they focused on the work of Jean Schlumberger, who was hired by Walter Hoving, the president of Tiffany & Co., to start designing for the company in 1956. Schlumberger’s Tiffany & Co. creations were noted for their fanciful take on natural forms. Sea creatures and other animals really inspired him. The Duchess of Windsor, Greta Garbo and Mona von Bismarck were among his early clients. The Fleurage bracelet, worn by Gal Gadot in the image above, makes an exciting debut this year. It was first sketched by Jean Schlumberger in 1958 as a possible design for the Tiffany Diamond but was never produced at the time. Tiffany’s craftspeople took on…

Time for BRILLIANCE

All that glitters is gold: opulence, brilliance, and craftsmanship stood at the forefront of all the marvels and wonders introduced this year. For the ladies, we focused on the most stunning pieces adorned with a plethora of diamonds and precious stones: hybrids of Haute Joaillerie and Haute Horlogerie! Our first stop at the fair was at the stand of French jewellery and watchmaker Piaget, founded by Georges Piaget, whose motto, quite fittingly to the pieces presented at the fair this year, was: “Always do better than necessary.” The Limelight Gala Precious and The Limelight Gala High Jewellery models especially caught our eye. Let’s begin with one of our absolute favourites discovered at the fair this year, the Limelight Gala High Jewellery, with its, literally, brilliant design and a bold mix…

Man the CREATOR

We began this wonderful journey with a private boat ride from the airport straight to the dock of the St. Regis, Venice, which gallantly hosted us during our stay, and after lunch, continued with a private visit of the Torre dell’ Orologio. It is here, in close proximity to the exhibition, located on the renowned San Marco square, that we were astounded to find a hidden, yet intricate philanthropical project, that the Maison has been investing in for many years. As, philanthropy relates not only to charity per se, but is in fact, the main way in which humankind is able to sustain some of the most significant architectural and artistic treasures of our time for many generations to come, we feel that the Maison’s humble attitude to it is…

Two hearts ARE BETTER THAN one

Ms. Scheufele, the focus of this summer issue is charity. As part of the Happy Hearts collection, you have created a limited edition bangle in 18-karat rose gold, especially for a good cause, the All Hands and Hearts Foundation. Tell us a bit about this project and how it started? I met Petra Nemcova at the Cannes Festival in 2013 where she told me about her charity foundation, the Happy Hearts Fund. The foundation – now called All Hands and Hearts Smart Response – helps to rebuild schools for children who tend to be forgotten after natural disasters due to lack of sustained response. I was deeply touched by her initiative and decided to support the foundation by designing a special edition of our Happy Hearts Bangle in 18ct rose…

Design SUSTAINABILITY & PURPOSE

Montblanc Haus has been conceived as a journey that revisits the brand’s 115 years. Please tell us more about the design of this space and its purpose? When you have over 115 years of storytelling to share with the world, you need to create an environment and a space that truly captures the essence of Montblanc and the journey it has been on from its early beginnings until today. Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos came up with the design of this incredible structure that spans the entire width of the existing building ensemble at Montblanc headquarters in Hamburg. It is inspired by the historical shape of Montblanc’s writing instrument packaging and the iconic colour combination of the brand – dark silhouettes and shades of white on the inside, expressing simplicity and timelessness.…

Generations like Millennials and especially Gen Z want to feel good about their fashion choices. Indeed, this includes not only the satisfaction of purchasing and wearing items but also having a clear consciense by knowing that what they wear brings positive changes to nature and society. Thus, Adidas decided to use its power wisely and dignifiedly, namely mobilizing its younger customers and inspiring them to shape our planet’s future. Since 2015, Parley for the Oceans and the street- and sportswear giant have been joining their efforts to save our oceans from plastic waste. “We need action from everyone, everywhere, to create true change. We’re on a mission to help end plastic waste. And this is a fight we can’t lose”, declares Adidas. Who said that fashion couldn’t be a force…

La Prairie initiates a collaboration with Carla Chan, a Hong Kong & Berlin based digital artist, to re-imagine La Prairie’s Pure Gold Collection and showcase the brand’s love and devotion to nature. Chan’s work, “Fading Space of Dawn”, demonstrates her ambitious evolution into the digital world and her attachment and admiration of nature. From her studio, she had a chance to observe the interaction of light and minerality that occurred with the rising of the sun every day. Later, all these images and landscapes inspired her to perfectly blend physical and digital materials together and let them appear in a special hybrid form of an immersive virtual landscape. This work premiered through augmented reality (AR) at Frieze New York and then appeared at Art Basel in Hong Kong, in Tai…

Great skin is not simply a matter of DNA. Our daily habits, in fact, have a big impact on what we see in the mirror.

Ultimately, caring for your skin is simply personal.

The 59th International Art Exhibition, The Milk Of Dreams, is taking place from 23 April to 27 November 2022 and is curated by Cecilia Alemani, who is the first Italian female curator in Biennale’s 127-year history. It has been three years since the last Venice Biennale, and everyone was more than excited to finally come together on-site (I still cannot believe this is happening!) and appreciate the work that has been done over the last years. This year’s Biennale was devoted to the power of freedom, interpersonal relationships, ongoing technological progress and an understanding of the human body and its connection with the earth. The exhibition presented 213 artists from 58 countries, and for the first time in its history, women outnumbered male artists in the main halls – only…

In Bees WE TRUST

The European dark bee is as an olfactory representation of the Royal French Manufactory Trudon. Now the Maison is giving back to the endangered species. The manufactory, based in Perche, Normandy, has been supporting the local nature park since 2018 to preserve the region’s biodiversity. The core of the nature conservation programme is twelve beehives of the European dark bee. Official Court Supplier to the Palace of Versailles of Louis XIV since 1643, the brand made the work and diligence of bees stand out as its motto: “The bees work for God and the King”. Even Marie Antoinette’s chambers were illuminated by magic Trudon candles. That is why on International Bee Day, 20 May, the proceeds from the sale of the Maison Trudon were donated to the preservation of the…

What are your thoughts on the education standards of today? Current job market trends and traditional standards are two completely different things. Traditionally educated students have a problem with not gaining the professional expertise required to do the job: every year, millions of graduates discover they are woefully underqualified to do the job, which becomes a problem for them. In today’s world, people must actually work rather than just pretend to work. Macro- and microeconomic trends are changing, so specialists need to be flexible and creative in order to overcome any challenges. Traditional education doesn’t teach this flexibility. Due to advancements in the spheres of globalization and communication, followed by external circumstances (such as the COVID Pandemic), education occurs now more than ever in an online format.
