Etro Presents Men’s Ss21 Collection

Live and alive. ETRO presents its Men’s Spring Summer 2021 collection with an informal gathering at Milan’s iconic Four Seasons Hotel. Forever inspired by the world of travel and quintessentially rooted in an idea of extended family, ETRO, paying tribute to the signature Milanese location, portrays the different guests of an international hotel, checking in and out with their peculiar personalities and their wealth of experiences and memories. This season, more than ever, it is not about the final destination, it’s about the journey. Essentials of the fashion house’s creative vocabulary are revamped. Stripes, Madras checks and the unmissable Paisley motif give a distinctive attitude to shirts and deconstructed suits. In keeping with the brand’s continuous commitment to sustainability, ETRO employed eco-friendly fabrics, but also manipulated archival textiles for an exciting upcycling process. All identified by the BENETROESSERE special tag, these unique pieces include patchwork denim pants and jackets crafted from vintage cloths, while shirts are made of eucalyptus yarns and polo shirts are realized in a special textile obtained through the recycling of plastic bottles. The ETRO travelers explore the world carrying foldable totes in archival material and cross-body pouches showing the brand’s signature Paisley motifs. They discover new horizons through the colorful lenses of the new ETRO x CARRERA COLLECTORS EDITION eyewear, a unisex re-edition of Carrera’s iconic Champion aviator style, dating back to the Eighties, in a summery color palette of lemon yellow, intense red, candy pink, forest green, night blue and shiny black.

GIVENCHY PRESENTS THE NEW ANTIGONA BY MATTHEW M. WILLIAMS

In 2021, the House of Givenchy embarks on an exciting new chapter for its emblematic Antigona accessories line. Named after the passionate and courageous Greek heroine, the original Antigona last year celebrated its 10th anniversary as the House’s signature women’s handbag. Iconic for its architectural construction, regal lines and effortless mix of feminine and masculine traits, it has become the foundation for a burgeoning family of sleek, urban leather accessories for women and men. For Spring-Summer 2021, Creative Director Matthew M. Williams reinterprets the icon for a new era, blending his love of industrial hardware with Givenchy hallmarks, subtly infusing the Antigona’s elegant geometry with more generous volumes, a modern attitude and a futuristic edge. Crafted from Box-finish calfskin, the new Antigona salutes its lineage with a scaled-up version of its characteristic pentagonal patch and two signatures — a 4G in front, GIVENCHY lettering in back —evoking the House’s dual character. Luxurious and distinctive 4G padlocks, custom-designed by Matthew M. Williams for Givenchy, are inspired by the celebrated “love locks” of Paris and present an open invitation to further customize the bag as the wearer wishes.

Sophisticated enhancements to the Antigona include reproportioned handles, which are now elongated and anchored lower on the bag’s body to optimize versatility of wear. A roomy central compartment features either a zip or a magnetic closure, both finished with the 4G padlock, while a version of the mini Antigona and the unisex Vertical bag come with a removable strap for cross-body wear, in leather or the new G-link chain respectively. Matthew M. Williams also brought his visionary aesthetic to the Antigona family’s youngest sibling, the versatile, unisex Antigona Soft bag, and gave it a companion in the form of a sleek shopper tote. Now reconsidered with strong, squared lines, drop-length handles and a 4G padlock, these multi-purpose hybrids make a sophisticated statement whether in the city or on the road. In the most masculine interpretation of the style to date, the designer presents the nonchalant Antigona U crossbody bag, also in Box-finish leather, featuring a deconstructed version of the 4G padlock that gives this accessory a unique, urban attitude. The Antigona family of leather handbags will be available in timeless neutral colors or seasonal shades of pink or red. Meanwhile, classic Antigona styles and sizes, in Box-finish or crocodile-embossed leather, are adorned with the new G-link chain.

The latest Antigona accessories will be available in Givenchy boutiques and on givenchy.com starting on February 26th, 2020.

Tissot T-My Lady Fine, strong, the essence of woman

For Tissot, 2020 will be an eminently feminine year. The Le Locle-based brand, traditionally unisex by nature, is launching some new, high-quality timepieces for women. The Tissot T-My Lady range provides the vision of the Tissot woman. She is confident of her life choices, committed to an exciting, mindful life and wants to make the most of everything. Aspirational and strong, sophisticated yet tough, she cruises between her home, the office, nights out and an active daily life, just like the Tissot T-My Lady. The new collection, consisting of several quartz models at launch, is dedicated to this complete woman. These watches, with the endurance of steel and, in some versions, the radiance of rose gold, have the simple grace of timeless lines.

Every woman

The Tissot T-My Lady is not just a feminine watch. Its concept, design and underlying purpose make it the ideal watch for those women – elegant, sophisticated business women – who believe a watch should stand the test of time. Ladies will like its dimensions - 29 mm in diameter - which make it ideal for everyday wear. Elegant women will admire the diamonds on the dial of the automatic version, which give depth, character and warmth to the T-My Lady collection. Sophisticated women will love its mechanical self-winding movement, regulated by a Nivachron spiral with exceptional non-magnetic properties. Businesswomen will be tempted by the dials: blue sunburst, silvered, opaline or anthracite sunburst.

Every life

The feminine counterpart of the Tissot Gentleman, the Tissot T-My Lady bears all the hallmarks of quality watchmaking inherent in Tissot’s timepieces. The watch’s basic structure of steel case and bracelet, the choice of self-winding or quartz movements, and above all the finishing details, all testify to the experience and care that have gone into creating this new range. The timepiece comes fitted with a steel bracelet for active women, and can be given a different look with the interchangeable leather strap to be found in the pouch for the all-steel automatic and quartz versions. On the solid gold models, the hour indicators are bevelled, faceted, three-dimensional appliques. The date aperture is also cut in relief on the automatic models and gives a flattering, bright finish to the dials, guaranteeing perfect legibility in all circumstances. Its discreet refinement easily meets the demands of work or more dressy occasions, pairing perfectly with jeans, a trouser suit or a little black dress.
