After an exciting wait for luxury enthusiasts, Mercedes-Benz and Moncler have finally unveiled their latest phase of creative partnership at “The City of Genius” show in Shanghai on October 19, 2024. This collaboration introduces a new campaign, titled “Past Forward: Where the Future is Driven by the Past.” A highlight of the event was the debut of “Project G-Class Past II Future,” designed by the acclaimed NIGO. The initiative presents a fully restored 1990s Mercedes-Benz G-Class, seamlessly merging nostalgia with innovation. A limited run of 20 vehicles inspired by this design will be launched, along with an exclusive fashion collection set to debut in April 2025.

As an extension of the iconic Moncler Genius project, “The City of Genius” transcended a mere exhibition of vehicles and apparel, evolving into a convergence of fashion, art, and culture. Guided by NIGO’s creative vision, the showcase featured an impressive lineup of collaborators, including notable figures in entertainment and fashion industry, such as A$AP Rocky, Willow Smith, Edward Enninful (OBE), and Hiroshi Fujiwara’s FRGMT, alongside Donald Glover’s Gilga Farm, LuLu Li, and Palm Angels. Special installations by acclaimed designers Rick Owens and Jil Sander further emphasized the innovative spirit of Moncler Genius 2024.

“Project G-Class Past II Future” marks the second collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and Moncler, following the launch of “PROJECT MONDO G” at Moncler’s “The Art of Genius” event in London in 2023. This latest work by NIGO fuses Moncler’s distinctive quilted aesthetic with the robust silhouette of the G-Class. With dimensions of 4.5 meters in length, 1.9 meters in width, and 2 meters in height, the vehicle makes a powerful statement. Its minimalist two-tone color scheme—comprised of matte olive green and gray—is enhanced by striking black and gold accents, giving the G-Class a modern yet timeless appeal.

Maintaining key features of the iconic G-Class, such as the spare tire mounted on the rear, retro black steel wheels, a foldable windshield, and a golden fuel canister, NIGO has introduced modern touches to the interior. The sound system, developed in collaboration with sound artist Devon Turnbull, includes removable speakers and a roof-mounted audio system. The checkered upholstery pays homage to the original G-Class design, while the orange and gold accents reflect the fashion collection that connects Mercedes-Benz, Moncler, and NIGO.

Alongside this unique vehicle release, Moncler launches a unisex fashion capsule collection that draws inspiration from 1990s aesthetics while incorporating contemporary streetwear elements. The collection features items such as varsity jackets, hoodies, flannel shirts, and Bermuda shorts, along with lighter puffer jackets, parkas, and windbreakers. The classic color palette showcases shades of blue, black, green, and white, accented by orange. Noteworthy designs include archival prints that celebrate the collaboration’s heritage, with a satin jacket prominently featuring logos and visuals from both brands.

The core narrative of the collaboration comes to life through Thibaut Grevet’s creative vision. The campaign elegantly illustrates a transition from a dream-like concept to a vibrant urban experience, framed by a stylish rooftop featuring sleek metallic elements. Set to launch in April 2025, Mercedes-Benz, Moncler, and NIGO are reviving the 1990s vibe with their exciting partnership that infuses a fresh, modern twist. As they bridge the past and the future, they invite enthusiasts to embrace a lifestyle that celebrates both heritage and forward-thinking creativity, making a powerful statement in the world of luxury.

The day we went on a trip with Society Limonta was rainy, Lake Como was overcast with layers of clouds. It might not be the ideal weather to visit the lake, but once I stepped in the suite of Hilton Lake Como, I was amazed by how beautiful the view was. Through the floor to ceiling windows, soft mist shrouded the undulating mountains and raindrops dimpled the ink-colored lake. Everything is so serene and poetic, like a tranquil landscape painting.

Just as how the serene and poetic the view outside the window was, the presentation of Society Limonta hosted inside the suit echoed perfectly to this mood. On this special occasion, Society Limonta presented two captivating collections to welcome the new season: the “Con-tatto” Fall-Winter 2024 collection and “The Essence of Colour,” the brand’s first home fragrances line.

Born in 2000 insidet the renowned textile company Limonta 1893 Group, Society Limonta aims at revolutionizing household linen with a design twist. With over 130-years history, Limonta 1893 has long been, and still is at the forefront of textile innovation in the clothing and furnishing sectors worldwide. The heritage and expertise of the storied group nurture Society Limonta, presenting collections that are both aesthetic and functional season after season.

Driven by a philosophy of perpetual reinvention, Society Limonta never stands still. The use of exclusive fabrics, luxurious yarns, and unique shades aren’t just statements—they’re part of the brand’s continuous journey, where every creation is a new chapter. Techniques like garment dyeing, for instance, imbue each piece with an intentional individuality, embracing beautiful imperfections that make every design unique. And the idea dovetails with the Japanese aesthetics Wabi-Sabi, a world view centers on the acceptance of transience and imperfection, perfectly.

Placing in various rooms in the suite, the “Con-tatto” collection reimagines our living spaces with effortless sophistication. Spanning bedrooms, dining rooms, washroom and home accessories, the collection strikes a balance between traditional craftsmanship and modern sensibility, giving the timeless elegance with a contemporary touch. The rich color palette in plain, tie-die or pattern design enhances the collection’s appeal. Earthy hues like ALLORO, Henné, MALTO, and LUNA evoke warmth and refinement, while the bold accents of GINGER, MOSCATA, and GOJI infuse a dynamic energy. Soft, natural tones such as GEMMA  connect the designs to nature, grounding them in a serene, inviting atmosphere.

Stepping into the bedroom, duvet covers and pillowcases are adorned with arabesque floral motifs and artistic motifs immediately catch our attention. A selection of bed and couch throws extend this aesthetic, showcasing a variety of textures and materials that add warmth and depth to this intimate space.

The journey continues to the living room, where the MOTTO cushion welcomes us with maximum comfort. Crafted from cotton and linen velvet in seasonal colors and the classic Mastice shade, the cushion features a unique garment-dyed finish and contrasting trim for versatility. Dining tables are decorated with light, floral-abaca tablecloths and a bold linen checkerboard design. Cute little linen breadholders and napkins in monochrome complement the design, offering a delightful and cozy dining experience. Home accessories include the elegant PAL MELANGE cashmere scarf in neutral tones and the eye-catching PAL SQUARE scarf in a delicate plaid pattern, alongside the VRIZ tote bag, made of padded nylon in three sizes for a stylish yet practical travel companion.

With the idea of adding a new dimension to its distintive and celebrated aesthetic, Society Limonta further unveils “The Essence of Colour,” a captivating collection of ambient fragrances. These scents—Amber, Bergamot, Matcha Tea, Verbena, and Saffron—weave a seamless connection between the brand’s visual world of textiles and the allure of fragrance, delivering a truly immersive sensory experience that redefines the art of living. Each scent corresponds to a specific number and color from the brand’s archive, further intertwining the realms of color, texture, and aroma.

The event climaxed by an intimate luncheon featuring plates of Italian delicacies with a Japanese twist. From ingredients and culinary techniques to seasonings, all were vaguely echoing the idea of the fusion of Japanese aesthetic. An ikebana workshop after the lunch led the guests to experience the admiration to natural and imperfect beauty rooted in Japanese floral art culture, which was in perfect concert with Society Limonta’s collections. Maybe the gloomy weather made the lake day slightly imperfect, but this imperfection definitely highlighted the most perfect memory we shared together with Society Limonta.

The AP House’s choice of location is a nod to Milan’s dynamic culture and storied past. Nestled in the iconic Via Bagutta, steps away from Piazza San Babila and the opulent Via Montenapoleone, the AP House finds its home in the erstwhile Garage Traversi. The edifice’s transformation, a collaborative effort with the acclaimed Milan and New York-based Lissoni & Partners, draws on the natural beauty of Vallée de Joux, the cradle of Audemars Piguet. The design, a harmonious blend of wood, glass, and metal, mirrors Milan’s spirit while paying homage to its origins.

Piero Lissoni, the visionary architect, designer, and founder of Lissoni & Partners, mused on the project’s essence, remarking on the AP House’s capacity to weave a narrative that diverges from Milan’s bustling rhythm. The space, a dedication to slowing down, fostering connections, and delving into the city’s copious tapestry of history, culture, and allure, is accentuated perfectly within Milan’s welcoming embrace.

In a move that further cements its foray into the world of iconic manga collaborations, Jimmy Choo has unveiled the second chapter of its partnership with Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. The collection, inspired by Naoko Takeuchi’s legendary seminal manga, promises to transport fans deeper into the Sailor Moon universe. Accompanied by a dynamic campaign, conceptualized by YOSHIROTTEN’s Tokyo-based design studio, YAR, this eagerly anticipated launch encapsulates the essence of the Sailor Guardians with Jimmy Choo’s luxury aesthetic.

Cleverly utilizes animation, this campaign brings the ten Sailor Guardians and their planetary symbols to life against a backdrop of vibrant colors. The result is a captivating array of visuals and motion content where footwear and accessories take center stage, each piece reflecting the unique personality and attributes of the Sailor Guardians.

Sandra Choi, Creative Director of Jimmy Choo, expressed her admiration for the Sailor Moon series, highlighting its concepts of feminine power, unity, and protection. “Exploring this deep and rich creative universe was an exhilarating process for me,” Choi remarked, emphasizing her aim to honor the manga and its characters authentically, and to celebrate their status as pop culture icons.

The collaboration delves deeper into the Sailor Moon narrative, bringing to life five more characters from the beloved manga through an exquisite range of footwear, bags, and accessories. Each of the five key footwear designs draws direct inspiration from the distinctive costumes of the Sailor Guardians, with their planetary symbols serving as a focal point, underscoring the collection’s collectible nature.

Incorporating original manga artwork by Naoko Takeuchi, the collection showcases signature styles, including the Diamond Tote and an assortment of phone holders, card holders, and Air Pod cases. A highlight of the collaboration is the Avenue Vanity Bag, available in ten variations, each featuring a portrait of a Sailor Guardian in their signature color, matched with harmoniously toned hardware. The collection also nods to other manga icons, with the Marlow Moccasin finished in either hot pink crystals or black glitter, evoking the images of Super Sailor Moon and Luna, respectively.

The Jimmy Choo x Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon collection is now available for purchase online at jimmychoo.com and in select boutiques worldwide, inviting fans and fashionistas alike to step into the magical world of Sailor Moon.

The Fall Winter 2024 campaign of Versace Jeans Couture, titled “Trance Therapy”, directed by Jeroen Dankers and shot by Alberto Pelayo, takes the viewer on a visual and emotional journey, exploring love through three symbolic acts. Dankers, known for his stylized, cinematic approach, collaborates with a creative team—art director Salvatore Delle Femmine, stylist Allegra Versace Beck, and Victor Crezée for the soundtrack—to seamlessly blend fashion and art.

Drawing on supernatural and emotional themes, it evokes the sensation of falling in love. Using the metaphor of an intimate dance, two individuals briefly connect in moments that capture the essence of romance, only to part ways and find themselves on distinct paths. Whether journeying alone or accompanied by others through magical landscapes, their eventual reunion propels them into a trance-like state, representing the overwhelming surge of a romantic connection. A standout feature is the mesmerizing liquid simulation of mercury, which artistically mirrors the fluidity and excitement of love.

The collection reflects this concept with liquid-like, flowing silhouettes, adorned with printed motifs such as “Baroque Chrome” and other mythical elements. The distressed designs, mimicking the texture of muddy woodlands, reinforce the campaign’s darker, fairytale-like narrative. Floral prints intermingle with mold-like patterns, adding depth and complexity to the visuals.

Romantic imagery is expertly fused with streetwear aesthetics, juxtaposing sporty and tailored pieces to create dynamic contrasts. The classic interiors, where the shoot takes place, highlight the balance between modern and traditional, underscoring the collection’s overall theme. The photographs evoke tension and movement, with the models either floating or pulling each other into a new dimension, symbolizing transformation and transition.

The ‘Trance Therapy’ campaign goes beyond just fashion; it explores the transformative nature of love. As the models float through surreal landscapes, we’re reminded of the fluidity of emotions, the allure of the unknown, and the beauty in fleeting connections. Versace Jeans Couture’s Fall Winter 2024 collection encapsulates the enchantment and intensity of love, inviting us all to embrace its highs, lows, and the mystical journey it entails.

The Versace Jeans Couture Fall Winter 2024 collection is now available on Versace’s website.

One of Hermès’ most recent news is the launch of “Barénia”, a new fragrance that encapsulates the luxury house’s timeless craftsmanship and dedication to sophisticated elegance. “Barénia”, designed under the meticulous eye of Christine Nagel, Hermès’ Creative Director of Perfumes, marks Hermès’ first foray into the Chypre fragrance family—a sensory masterpiece that reflects the brand’s profound connection to its artisanal roots.

The essence of “Barénia” is its rich olfactory composition. The distinctive aroma is a delicate interplay between the butterfly lily and the rare miracle berry, both accentuated by warm oakwood and patchouli. The result is a captivating, and the lingering scent effortlessly melts onto the skin, leaving an unforgettable signature to wherever the wearer passes by.

Drawing inspiration from one of Hermès’ most iconic leather types, Barenia leather, the fragrance mirrors the material’s sensual, supple quality. Known for its tactile softness and natural elegance, Barenia leather has long been a symbol of boldness and free-spirited energy — an embodiment of the brand’s liberated and independent female clientele.

The bottle is another highlight of the new fragrance line. Crafted by long-time Hermès collaborator Philippe Mouquet, the design further cements this connection between heritage and modernity. Modeled after the brand’s iconic “Collier de Chien” bracelet. A piece originally inspired by dog collars and reinterpreted in the 1920s as a symbol of women’s empowerment, Collier de Chien-inspired bottle design blends crystal-clear curves with metallic accents, invoking a sense of timeless luxury.

Accompanying the fragrance is a complete body care line, including a perfumed body cream and a scented soap, extending the unique “Barénia” experience to a full-body ritual. Encased in packaging that reflects Hermès’ signature balance of bold design and refined minimalism, the “Barénia” line is more than just a fragrance, it’s a testament to Hermès’ commitment to eternal elegance and constant innovation.

With “Barénia”, Hermès has once again succeeded in crafting a fragrance that not only celebrates its storied past but also speaks to the fearless, curious and confident women of today. As Christine Nagel so eloquently puts it, “The Hermès woman is driven by curiosity. Guided by her instincts, her sidesteps are never missteps.” This sentiment is perfectly captured in every aspect of “Barénia”, a scent destined to become a classic.

Milan, a city of contrasts and perpetual transformation, stands at the intersection of tradition and modernity. Its rich architectural tapestry, from the elegance of late 18th-century aristocracy to the sleek lines of contemporary rationalism, narrates a dynamic history. Valextra, synonymous with the finest in Italian leather craftsmanship, has embraced this narrative, bridging the gap between tradition and innovation, much like the city it calls home. The latest chapter in this dialogue is captured in the brand’s latest release “Milano Outside/Inside”, a collaboration with photographer Guido Taroni.

Presented as part of the “Valextra for Milano” series, “Milano Outside/Inside” highlights the vibrant and inimitable character of Milan through its architectural landmarks, artistic influences, and the key personalities who embody its spirit. The city’s hidden beauty, often overlooked, becomes a focal point of this photographic journey. “Milano Outside/Inside” features images of key buildings such as the Corriere della Sera Palace, Milan Central Station, and Villa Reale, juxtaposed with Valextra’s elegant bags. The careful selection of locations reflects the various artistic movements that have shaped the city—from Art Nouveau to the monumentalism of fascist architecture—underscoring Valextra’s role in preserving and promoting the rich tradition of Milanese design and showcasing the brand’s iconic style that works perfectly in tandem with Milanese elegance.

Valextra’s designs encapsulate the essence of Milanese style—quiet, refined, yet unyielding in quality. Each piece, from its fine leathers to its meticulous finishes, reflects the ethos of “Made in Italy” that Valextra so proudly champions. The brand’s meticulous attention to detail, both in its products and in the way it honors its Milanese roots, reflects the duality of Milan itself. Like the city, Valextra is steeped in tradition yet ever-evolving, ensuring that its relevance remains undiminished in the fast-paced world of fashion.

In a city known for its creativity and aesthetics, Valextra finds resonance with the innovators of fashion and art who are represented in the publication. Notable figures like art collector and philanthropist Francesca Ruffini Stoppani, ballet étoile Nicola Del Freo, and fashion icon Carla Bruni add a human element to the city’s architectural landscape. These individuals, each a contemporary ambassador of Milanese culture, stand as embodiments of Milan’s ever-evolving artistic spirit, as seen through their personal connections to the city.

Valextra’s unique relationship with Milan extends beyond its creative output. The brand’s commitment to the city is exemplified by its support for cultural preservation initiatives. This year, Valextra has pledged its resources to restore the Trilogia della Fontana, a sculpture by Milanese artist Adolfo Wildt located in Villa Reale’s park, a key feature of the city’s modern art collection. Through this restoration, Valextra continues to cement its role as a cultural custodian, reinforcing the deep-seated connection between Milan’s artistic heritage and the fashion world.

For Valextra, Milan isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a muse, a collaborator, and a constant source of inspiration. With the launch of “Milano Outside/Inside”, Valextra reaffirms its place at the intersection of fashion and culture, paying homage to the city that has shaped its past, present, and undoubtedly, its future.
