Step it up
Cut from glossy silk and splashed with playful illustrations, the humble T-shirt has had a high-fashion reworking. Max Mara’s elevated take on the pared-down shape sheds its basic connotations, but keeps wearability sky-high.
A minute to dream
Yes, you can find whimsy in a watch—just take Gucci’s selection of G-Timeless styles, which subtly celebrate the label’s signature star, bee and feline motifs.
Small but mighty
When there’s no time to change, signalling a sense of occasion is as easy as clipping on Christie Nicolaides’ outfit-making earrings.
Style staple
Seen as much on the streets as in the office, if you haven’t already invested in a checked blazer, H&M’s red and white rendition offers a spring-worthy entree into the versatile tailoring trend.
Day and night
There’s a scent for every occasion in Byredo’s line-up. With top notes of sweet mandarin, Sundazed is set for summer signature status. Want to dial it up after dark? Bibliothèque is a full-bodied blend of leather and wood.
From the source
Anyone who’s travelled to Portugal will recognise the azulejo tile print that decorates the inside of Christian Louboutin’s Portugaba bag, but the entire tote is a homage to the country, brought to life by local artisans using traditional techniques.
Trail blazers

Vanity fair
Good skincare should extend beyond your complexion—hardworking hands deserve some TLC, too. Oribe’s indulgent Côte d’Azur hand-care collection is infused with top-shelf ingredients such as vitamin C-rich camu camu extract for refreshed and supple skin.
Hit refresh
Natural timber and a breezy rattan finish imbue this one-seater sofa by Bangkok-based creative studio Atelier 2+ with a calming presence. Simply sit back and relax.
‘You’ time
Thanks to its carefully crafted oval-shaped case, Cartier’s elegant Baignoire watch gets its name from the French word for bathtub—and it’s equally adept at injecting a slice of luxury into your day.
