Ahead of Geneva Watch Week, next month JACOB & CO unveils Casino Tourbillion Life is a game JACOB & CO newest model, Casino Tourbillion is inspired by the playfulness of Astronomia Casino The watchmaker's newest design honors life's playful side, aptly arguing that that this joie de vivre "deserves a gamesome timepiece." Creativity and originality serve as Jacob & Co.'s motivating factors. The variety of timepieces available from Jacob & Co. demonstrates the brand's unquenchable desire to create astounding, unheard-of pieces. High-complication watches like the Astronomia Collection, the Mystery Tourbillon, the Opera Godfather, and the Twin Turbo Furious are excellent examples of this. And the new Casino timepiece collection offers a lifestyle comparable to that of the high stakes lounge at the MGM Grand or the Casino de Monte-Carlo. This rose gold-plated roulette watch with a black onyx dial is a pure manifestation of the ingenuity and upbeat spirit of Jacob & Co. Using traditional timepiece techniques, Based in the most thorough technical paradigm, Casino features Jacob & Co.'s first-ever flying tourbillon located caseback-side, with high-end finishings and sophisticated material details. Leaving its entire expression space to a fully functional, free-spinning roulette, complete with 37 pockets and a white ball, Casino is designed for chance, hopes for luck and brings supreme exhilaration. In 2019, Jacob & Co. launched one of the most successful versions of the Astronomia. Astronomia Casino has been manufactured in surprisingly high quantities given how specific and costly it actually is. As an integral part of the Astronomia collection, it offers a 10-minute rotating platform, a triple-axis tourbillon, a magnesium Earth globe and a spinning 288-facet, Jacob-cut diamond. Jacob & Co. has managed the design and technical feat of adding a fully working roulette to this already highly functional ensemble. The module which operates that roulette, its signature complication, has been plugged inside Jacob & Co.'s new complication timepiece Casino, thus giving it a unique personality. Casino is an expression of playfulness, the art of taking chances and incidentally, the love of gambling. Jacob & Co. celebrates through pure lines the pure luck The Casino case takes its inspiration from the original Roulette timepiece by Jacob & Co., the Astronomia Casino. Yet its dimensions, shape, movement and construction are entirely new and dedicated to this specific piece. The 44-mm case body is crafted out of 18K rose gold and thoroughly polished. The caseband is curved, the bezel steep and the sapphire crystal generously domed, all of which creates a single harmonious line. It's fitted with four full and wide lugs, whose shape initiates the black alligator strap curve. These angles and this elaborate construction aim at slimming down the Casino profile and make for a more comfortable and ergonomic fit with wrists of all sizes. One of the attributes Casino shares with its forbearer the absence of a crown. Time-setting and winding are both operated with bows placed against the caseback. Seen from above, Casino is therefore as smooth as possible given the presence of an essential appendage: the Roulette pusher at 8 o'clock. The pusher itself is square and large so as to offer the best finger contact possible. To blend it with the Casino overall case profile, it's surrounded by a long, crescent-shaped crown guard. This pusher is the heart of the Casino as it operates its signature function, elevated to the rank of an actual watchmaking complication. Casino is a genuine Roulette game. Once laid out flat on a table, it operates as a fully random game of chance. The pusher propels the wheelhead, complete with 37 pockets, 1 green, 18 red and 18 black. The mechanical construction of this movement part rests on a set of ceramic ball bearings of extremely high quality. The wheelhead spins with high speed and very little friction. Meanwhile, a white ceramic ball bounces inside Casino. It flies throughout the lower part of the dial and flange, which is fitted with eight diamonds-shaped deflectors. Randomization is at its best and makes the Casino a true portable game, not just a testament to the wearer's love for Roulette, taking chances or any other symbol they may see in Casino.

Paris Fashion Week: a look back at Women’s Fall/Winter 2023-2024 collections © Fendi For this season’s showcase in Milan, Artistic Director of FENDI Couture and Womenswear Kim Jones explores classicism and elegance through the lens of subtle subversion. Drawing inspiration from the wardrobe of jewelry designer Delfina Delettrez Fendi — the daughter of Silvia Venturini Fendi— the designer plays with binaries and gender archetypes in a deconstruction of ladylike sophistication. Masculine tailoring is twisted into feminine forms throughout the collection, including boilersuits, aprons and uniforms. Lace is layered and flashes of fetishism appear through peeks of lingerie or thigh-high lace-up boots, while draped dresses are bias-cut. In a punk perspective, knitwear appears cleanly slashed or gently warped for a nonchalant silhouette. The wardrobe includes satin dresses romantically trailed by billowing scarves. The Italian house also introduced the new FENDI Multi bag, an homage to the multipurpose sensibility innate to Fendi. Patou Under the glass roof of La Samaritaine, Patou artistic director Guillaume Henry presented a collection entitled “Shopping Chronicles”. Carrying chic Caddie® shopping bags, bucket hats on their heads and shades perched on their noses, the silhouettes meandered with ready-to-roll fantasy. Laced-up thigh-boots designed in collaboration with Maison Ernest set off a wardrobe for women on the go in monochrome colorways of red, black, lavender, pink or burgundy. Shimmering puffers segue to velvet evening dresses, cozy knits are joined by denim, and high-cut smocks are worn over pencil or deep slit skirts. Patou bags are carried over the shoulder or in the hand, ready for every moment of the day amidst plays of materials and volumes. Pleated mini-skirts and crop tops reveal some skin, and hair bows underscore the feminine allure of the Patou muses. © Patou

Continuing her longstanding collaboration with Guerlain, Angelina Jolie co-hosted a Bee School educational session on the preservation of bees for primary schoolchildren in the city of Clichy-Sous-Bois in the Seine-Saint-Denis district bordering the north of Paris. The Guerlain Bee School is part of the Maison’s broad educational outreach program. © ARR Henri Barbusse primary school in Clichy-sous-Bois, a city with which LVMH has long enjoyed close ties, recently welcomed actor and Guerlain muse Angelina Jolie for a very special lesson. She was joined by Lorène Mouchet, a beekeeper trained during the first Guerlain x UNESCO Women for Bees class in 2021, and by Guerlain Chief Sustainability Officer Cécile Lochard. The three women talked to the students about the critical role played by bees as pollinators, an essential link in the agricultural food chain and protecting biodiversity. In the coming months Guerlain will set up beehives at the school and host additional Bee School sessions. Guerlain has been active for more than a decade in a host of initiatives to protect bees, which are essential as pollinators and sentinels of biodiversity. Launched in 2018, the Bee School raises awareness of the importance of protecting bees in the world, today and tomorrow.

A propos earthquake in parts of Syria and Turkey, the ANNAKIKI Autumn/Winter 2023-2024 collection, entitled “Post-Apocalyptic Anthropocene,” imagines how humans will come together as a community to support each other in a world ravaged by chaos and destruction. With her new collection, designer Anna Yang continues her exploration of the “post-human” concept with a post-apocalyptic twist. “When human beings cease to be indifferent to the pull of profit, and the purpose and only purpose of desire is survival, then we will abandon our egoism and come together as a multitude to fight against the unknown and turbulent world,” says Anna Yang. Drawing inspiration from cyberpunk and wasteland punk elements, Yang’s collection features a futuristic armor for the “post-human” - a concept described by some scholars as an “evolved human” or “transhuman.” The armor, which features the brand’s signature 3D wavy sleeves and a composite metallic fabric, allows for many possibilities to transform the body. The brand’s consistent liquid metallic fabric gives the armor a fantastical shine, like a futuristic warrior. The deliberately burned, soiled, and hand-painted dirty prints reflect the designer’s portrayal of an anti-utopian environment, and the rebellious and fearless human resistance against the harsh post-apocalyptic environment as well as the artificial intelligence that has become self-aware under the brutality of technology. In addition to the armor, the collection features a collaboration with Italian accessories brand AnGostura, which often draws inspiration from ancient occult and indigenous cultures to create imaginative “body sculptures.” AnGostura has created unique glass and metal earrings for ANNAKIKI’s post-human legion, a fusion of fragile glass and hard metal, a reflection of human nature struggling with crisis; fragile yet indestructible. @Annakikiofficial @poly_global_advisory #MFW #FW2324 #ANNAKIKI

Casadei fall23 presented in Milan A sinuous vinyl strappy sandal that hugs the instep, giving a light bondage effect while exuding extreme femininity. The Casadei lexicon arises from the uninterrupted dialogue between Cesare Casadei’s creativity and the female world. It is a conversation made up of continuous observation and a love for beauty, which guides the gentle but inexorable engineering of building a shoe or a bag: objects of perfect design conceived to respond to a precise function, but also expressions of a way of being. Each collection defines a kaleidoscope of attitudes, finding its coherence in plurality, as well as in the absoluteness of the shapes expressed through the research of materials. The balance of the different components is resolved in a sign that is unequivocal: clean and subtly seductive. This season the sense of plurality is particularly accentuated. It arises from the response to the fragmentation of the contemporary world, from the certainty that never before has identity been expressed in such a multifaceted, swirling, non-univocal way. There are no more barriers, of use and occasion, and not even of generations. Today every woman can decide to look what she wants and when she wants it; she can explore different aspects of her personality at different times and occasions of the same day, and always be herself. The collection follows this prismatic flow. The ultra-thin heels and strong silhouettes of Rachel or the asymmetrical Melodie t-bar, as well as the bold and pointed shapes of Superblade and Ultravox are thus contrasted by the affirmative commando soles of Generation C, or the tubular volumes, amplified by the use of cruelty free fur, of Yeti. The chunky-heeled Cleo boots have a yè-yè quirk to them, while the Anastasia craquelè booties play with the balance of volumes by transfiguring the classic Texan stye. Casadei is naturally synonymous with elegant sensuality, with shoes as an instrument of seduction. Here too the expressive range is wide, and ranges from the hymn to the sinuous lines of Divina, the new pump, all curves and points, to the elongated thirties hints of Geraldine, from the play of solids and voids of Galaxy to the retro futurist purity of Elodie, with acidized effects that liquefy the sculpted heel in haloes of digital allure. The bejeweled shoe, another must, is luminous and sidereal in the flashes of Stratosphere, or is touched with wild elements such as the multicolor Mongolian fur of Annabel or the fur buckle combined with craquelè leather of Aria. Small handbags or shoulder and bucket bags give further roundness to the variety of feminine expressions. It’s the details that set the tone: metal handles, crystal pavé, chain links like a logo in contrast with leather. An expanded, ever-evolving lexicon keeps being defined.

The Italian Sea Group has formed alliances with well-known Italian luxury brands, including its most recent collaboration with Giorgio Armani, confirming its strategic positioning. Admiral 72 by Giorgio Armani exterior detail. All images courtesy of The Italian Sea Group On the evening of Saturday, February 11, the Italian Sea Group and Giorgio Armani revealed the 72-meter Admiral megayacht at a special private event held at the Marina di Carrara Headquarters. The project, launched in 2020 and developed by Giorgio Armani and his team in collaboration with the Admiral Style Centre, interprets and blends the DNA of the two brands to create a one-of-a-kind, avant-garde megayacht, the result of an encounter between the most exquisite aspects of the nautical and fashion worlds. The exterior lines and the opulent interiors of this yacht, the first of two that Giorgio Armani designed completely, are instantly recognizable as examples of his unmistakable style. The designer redefines the very essence of the high-end megayacht idea in a radical yet elegant manner, based on the principles of simplicity and sophistication. Timeless minimalism has always been a part of the designer's creative philosophy. “This megayacht, the result of an exciting partnership of which I am extremely proud, is further confirmation of our way of being able to realize unique projects with Made in Italy brands of excellence that share our values”, comments Giovanni Costantino, Founder & CEO of The Italian Sea Group. The Armani/Casa interiors amplify Giorgio Armani's aesthetic philosophy, offering discreet, refined luxury and subdued tones. The décor is bold yet relaxed; the overall harmony is provided by a combination of elements that are skilfully combined into a space that is unquestionably exclusive and one of its kind. The apparent minimalism finds its counterpoint in the use of exquisite, refined materials, fine hand-crafted finishes, and a masterful mix of soft or vibrant colours. Giovanni Costantino, Founder & CEO of The Italian Sea Group said, “Giorgio Armani is synonymous with timeless elegance and sophistication, and his stylistic vision has also increased our stylistic sensitivity. This new yacht is projected to be positioned as a stylistic benchmark, also given the countless comments and regards we’ve received from various industry players. This therefore confirms our business model, which aims to customise every detail in order to make each of our works absolutely unique, in line with the vision and desire of each owner". "The sea and design are two of my greatest passions. With this new collaboration, I have extended my idea of furnishing and decor to the nautical world, in which – just as in fashion – aesthetics and functionality come together in a natural and elegant style. This highly stimulating project has allowed me to create customised spaces with Armani/Casa – like made-to-measure clothing – with the same craftsmanship applied to the choice of materials, details and production", says Giorgio Armani, Chairman and CEO of the Armani Group. Armani/Casa is a world leader in the luxury furniture and furnishing sector since more than two decades. Since 2004, the Armani/Casa Interior Design Studio has been providing comprehensive interior design services to private clients and real estate companies, from the conceptual phase under the artistic direction of Giorgio Armani, through to construction management. Projects have been carried out in cities such as Miami, London, Beijing, Tel Aviv, Manila, Mumbai and Istanbul, with the constant goal of creating a culture of uniqueness and excellence.
