NEWS IN Collaboration

Globe Trotter x 10 Corso Como:

The connoisseurs may have noticed our Globe Trotter luggage as the link to our “Essentials“. No need to say that we particularly admire the emblematic British know-how in the manufacturing of Globe Trotter‘s high-end sets of luggages.

This set of Globe Trotter luggages produced in collaboration with the Italian concept store, 10 Corso Como, is amazingly well-finished: constructed from Vulcan fibre, the whole set presents twinkling steel deadlocks and black leather straps! As usual with Globe Trotter‘s products, we appreciate the retro-style and the firmness of the latter!   Read the rest of this entry »

Harley Davidson and Bell & Ross created the unique Nacsafe Racer Bell & Ross:

Bell & Ross is generally well-known for being a loyal equipment manufacturer of the aircraft industry. This time, Bell & Ross was approached by Shaw Harley Davidson, a British retailer of the American mythical motocycle brand to realize this daring project. They managed to integrate a carbon Bell & Ross BR 01 in the customized aluminium central console.

Besides, what to say about this Harley Davidson motocycle? Well, Harley Davidson still is beyond compare to me! Read the rest of this entry »

I write this post for those who are still hesitating on the sunglasses model they should buy for this summer. Once again, HME offers you its own selection!  I had a hard time rummaging around to end up with a proper selection to satisfy you fashion addicts! Indeed, at that time, only a few brands manage to play their cards right…

1 – At the top of my podium, I’d pick Illesteva, the New-York Sunglasses brand we presented you a few months ago (here). The two founders, Silberman and Ske, have created a brand of classic timeless pieces, meant to last a lifetime and usually push normal boundaries of design by exploring fresh shapes and materials… To me, this brand is a real “coup de coeur”, plus you will find their products on any selective online store, such as La Garçonne, Oki-ni or even Opening Ceremony.

2 – Then, I would pick the Italian brand, L.G.R. Sunglasses. No need to say that these sunglasses are both very elegant and exclusive. Not only will you buy an high-end quality product but also its history and personality with it. I first found out about this brand on Oki-ni website, but as soon as I got in touch with their press department, I understood that L.G.R. Sunglasses was not a brand like any other! You can easily get a pair on Colette online store or on Antonioli.

3- The third position goes to logically to the British Queen of collabs, Ms Linda Farrow !! Dries Van Noten, Alexander Wang, Charles Anastase or, more recently, Jeremy Scott: they have all worked in collaboration with Linda Farrow. That being said, her retro category comprises several real masterpieces, an actual blue chip!! Available everywhere, notably on Linda Farrow catalog.

Our selection after the jump !!

For historic Reims-based champagne house Taittinger, design and fine bubbles have always been compatible. First, let’s imagine a bottle of champagne as a would-be painting. Then, what about the wine it contains as a true muse for out of phase  artists? Wonderful cocktail isn’t it? Taittinger has successfully placed a bet on this unlikely Read the rest of this entry »
