TRENDING COLLABORATION Cristiano Ronaldo x Italia Independent
Cristiano Ronaldo has teamed up with Italian eyewear company Italia Independent to launch CR7, a brand-new eyewear collection. The ever-stylish footballer is known for his sartorial flair, so it’s no wonder that Lapo Elkann, founder of Italia Independent, would want to collaborate with Ronaldo and his personal brand CR7. The pair first came together over a year ago to design this robust collection of diverse sunglasses ranging from classic silhouettes to fun and colorful retro-styled throwbacks. www.cr7-eyewear.com
AUDEMARS PIGUET Royal Oak Flying Tourbillon

The elegant timepiece is powered by the watchmaker’s hand-wound Manufacture caliber 2964 movement. audemarspiguet.com
TRENDING STYLE Louis Vuitton’s ‘The LV Crafty’ Collection
Rooted in the aesthetic of the underground art scene, this magnified iteration of the LV monogram is splashed across the leather outers of this collection’s pieces. The classic Onthego, NéoNoé, and Boite Chapeau Souple silhouettes are all boldly reimagined. The brushwork speaks to artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat – a striking marriage of textual monogram and abstracted daubs of color. The Crafty collection emulates this embrace of the underground in its marriage of fresh, vibrant imagery, and classic silhouettes. us.louisvuitton.com
MONTBLANC Star Legacy Exo Tourbillon Skeleton LE8
Completely reinterpreted to feature a refined fully-skeletonized, three-dimensional movement, this luxurious timepiece boasts an 18k rose gold case and a tourbillon that has had its balance wheel removed and dramatically relocated to the outside of the cage. Strapped to Sfumato alligator leather from the Pelletteria in Florence, this stunner is limited to just eight pieces. montblanc.com
HARRY WINSTON Premier Majestic Art Deco Timepiece
The Art Deco spirit dominates the magnificent dial of this timepiece, revealing its jazzy geometry. Slivers of white mother-of-pearl and glossy black jade, set with precision in a white gold base, unite to form the abstract background. This technique, known as marquetry, allows the sunray design to come to life. harrywinston.com

Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama Horizon 55
The House of Louis Vuitton partnered with worldclass Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama who added her distinctive dotted patterns to the designer brand’s iconic trolley case. Created in LV’s Monogram Eclipse canvas, the cabin-sized case is covered in an array of either multicolored or gray-scale dots which are screen printed to give them a 3D hand-painted texture. Cowhide leather trim, leather corners and a zipped closure system with padlock complete the look. Us.louisvuitton.com
