About time

Capturing the vibrant expression of the Monogram Flower, the Louis Vuitton Color Blossom Fine Jewellery collection features an extensive offering of rings, pendants, bracelets and earrings in seven stone combinations: white or pink mother-of-pearl, onyx, malachite, carnelian, amazonite and sodalite. It now also includes the Color Blossom watch, complete with a sun-shaped Monogram Flower case measuring 26mm. Crafted in either gold or steel, the case is adorned with matching curved sapphire glass and a flower-shaped crown. The timepiece comes in four versions, one with nearly a carat of diamonds on a pink gold case.
If the shoe fits

From women’s ballet flats in calfskin to men’s sneakers in cotton canvas and suede goatskin, Hermès’ spring/summer shoe collection has something for everyone and every occasion. For a versatile and retro look, consider the Mascot sneaker in parachute fabric and suede goatskin with interlaced detail and the brand’s iconic “H”. For women seeking something a little more daring, the Marly 80 features an 8cm heel with a graphic mirror detail and peep-toe front. Men, meanwhile, can choose from an array of loafers in waxed or suede calfskin and sandals and sneakers that are equally suited to city streets as they are for far-flung beaches.

Summer is here and Tod’s is going on holiday – Italian-style, of course. The brand’s latest campaign, shot in the Tuscan seaside town of Forte dei Marmi and featuring “a narrative made up of spontaneous moments and everyday ease”, showcases its full summer collection. Leather, Tod’s signature material, runs throughout the ready-to-wear offering, from outerwear in Pashmy leather to minimalist mini dresses while linen, crochet cotton and silk evoke lightness and sophistication. Don’t miss the iconic Tod’s Gommino loafer, now enhanced with metallic detailing on the heel and perfectly paired with the distinctive Metal Dots bag.
Secret garden

A tribute to Christian Dior’s life in the South of France, the new Dior Paradise brims with bitter almond and a cocktail of cheerful citrus notes. “I wanted to revive the memory of the immense orchard that he composed at the Château de la Colle Noire, and in particular, fulfil his desire to see hundreds of almond trees growing there,” says perfume creation director Francis Kurkdjian. “I can’t help but imagine him at his bedroom window late in winter, eagerly awaiting the profuse and miraculous blossoming that promises true happiness and the renewal of nature.” La Collection Privée Dior Paradise is available beginning in June.
Set in stone

Reimagining the home gym as a sophisticated living space, Technogym’s new Sand Stone collection draws on the warmth of Mediterranean sandstone in four signature finishes: Speckled Stone casings with natural mica to echo the organic variation found in raw stone, Warm Titanium metalised accents that offer a refined contemporary lustre, Clay vegan leather tactile surfaces, and natural beech and ash wood details that ground the collection in warmth. Choose from Personal Tools such as dumbbells and kettlebells or high-performance equipment ranging from an Artis treadmill and recline bike to a Technogym Reformer.
Ticket to ride

What happens when a visionary filmmaker joins forces with an Oscar-winning costume and production designer to usher in a new era of bespoke luxury train travel? You get Celia, a new private dining and events carriage imagined and designed by Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin for the British Pullman, A Belmond Train, England. Debuting this May, Celia is inspired by the British countryside, Shakespeare and the extravagant flair characteristic of a Baz Luhrmann film set. Designed as a premier venue for grand banquets and intimate celebrations alike, the carriage seats up to 12 guests and includes a dining area, lounge, bar and kitchen.
