Denim chic
Only a fashion star like Kylie Jenner can show us how to wear denim, as demonstrated in an Acne Studios advertising campaign. Denim is an emblematic material for Acne Studios. The house was launched in 1996 with 100 pairs of jeans gifted to artists, fans and friends of creative director Jonny Johansson. Decades later, denim remains at the forefront of the brand. Inspired by the seasonal denim washes, treated to achieve an aged and worn-in look, Jenner contributes to the season’s mood with wet-look hair and body paint adorning her.
Cult following
Cult brand Allies of Skin launched its latest Multi Peptides & GF Advanced Lifting Serum ($279) in Sephora. Frequent use of this serum, it is claimed, helps reduce five of the most common fine lines and wrinkles: Forehead lines, Frown lines, crow’s feet, Marionette lines and Nasolabial folds. This clinically proven Advanced Lifting Serum is supercharged with a maxed-out 3% Growth Factor Complex and 9% Lifting Peptide Complex, alongside MSM, Copper Lysinate, Phospholipids and Glycolipids. Together, they effectively promote collagen production, which, in turn, helps support the regeneration and repair of the skin.

The green way
As a new season dawns, along with a fresh interpretation of Chloé’s lower-impact Nama sneaker. Instantly recognisable for its rich textures and hand-stitched details, as well as its lower-impact credentials, the Nama has been revitalised for Winter 2023 and Spring 2024 with fresh colourways, cosy textures, and bold new shapes. Making its debut in the Spring 2022 collection, the Nama is an innovative sneaker that reflects the ongoing commitment of the design house to reducing its environmental impact. Chloé has calculated that the Nama emits fewer greenhouse gases and consumes less water than its predecessor, the Sonnie sneaker.
Space meets style
The Montblanc StarWalker writing instrument kindles our fascination with space exploration. Like those pushing the boundaries of technological advancement on Earth and beyond, Montblanc explores new materials and techniques with each edition. The StarWalker SpaceBlue draws inspiration from materials originating in space, such as the Widmanstätten pattern, first discovered in 1808 by Viennese scientist Count Alois von Beckh Widmanstätten. While heating iron meteorites with flames, he observed colour and lustre zone differentiation as various iron alloys oxidised at different rates, revealing fine interleaving kamacite and taenite bands or ribbons known as lamellae. This pattern forms deep within planetary bodies, taking years to cool down. Montblanc artisans have recreated it on precious resin using a newly developed injection moulding tool and metal through etching, resulting in an enhanced sensory writing experience.
