BLACK BOOK

Loro Piana
In 1987, collectors, enthusiasts and friends of Loro Piana formed an informal driving club known as Rosso Corsa, later renamed the Loro Piana Classic Car Team. Its members still take part in famed events such as the Mille Miglia and the Coppa d’Oro delle Dolomiti, the latter guiding pre-1971 cars through the Alpine scenery of the Dolomites. With such deep ties to motoring, it was little surprise when Loro Piana lent its support to the International Concours of Elegance in St Moritz in 2024. To mark the third year of this partnership, the house has created a new version of its famed Roadster jacket.

Bvlgari
Bvlgari Icons is a series of five precious minaudières built around a simple provocation: what can be carried in a bag too small to hold a phone? The answer is culture. Five women were invited to author miniature books designed to fit inside the evening bags. Contributors include Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, American model Linda Evangelista, South Korean actress Kim Ji-won, Italian-American actress Isabella Rossellini and South African architect Sumayya Vally – all of whom also feature in the campaign imagery.

Vacheron Constantin
The Overseas Tourbillon is the first Vacheron Constantin model to combine titanium with a deep red dial. With three interchangeable straps, this sporty watch can be worn with a metal bracelet or a white or red rubber strap. Powered by an automatic calibre 2160, in a 42.5 millimetre titanium case that is 10.39mm thick, this comes with a deep red, sunburst satin finished dial and 18K white gold hour markers. With a tourbillon at 6 o’clock, the timepiece has a power reserve of 80 hours, as well as a soft iron casing ring to ensure anti-magnetic protection.

Prada
Prada is flexing its leather skills in its Ramadan collection. To complement clothing made in rich fabrics, such as the reversible taffeta jacket and long velvet dress, it has introduced a series of small leather accessories in Saffiano, its scratch and water-resistant leather. In colours of burgundy, pyrite, chrome and clay gold, these leather accessories sit perfectly alongside Prada’s evening looks. The cross-hatched design gives the leather its durability. The folded symmetry of an envelope clutch in emerald green and a burgundy leather card with a shoulder strap – perfect for long Ramadan nights.
SPOTLIGHT
Once dismissed as theatrical and frivolous, it is being reappraised as decorative art designed to be worn rather than locked away
