Clear Head

The vision of founder Mark Livings is that everyone should be able to drink their favourite drink in their own way – even if it’s non-alcoholic. The result was Australian brand Lyre’s Non-Alcoholic Spirits. No longer is it just in Dry January that non-alcoholic drinks are a welcome alternative. Those who want to keep a clear head avoid alcohol. Gone are the days when you had to put up with water, soft drinks and juice as the only options. These days, there are proper drinks that actually taste good. For spring, we’d recommend the many types of spritz, which already have us dreaming of holidays on the Amalfi coast.

Clear Cuts

Japanese brand AMBUSH® is principally known for its punk approach to fashion that’s characterised by luxury and streetwear style. Founded in 2008, the Tokyo-based label has caused a stir with its vision and innovative design perspectives. The brand’s idiosyncratic style has led to commissions and collaborations with a list of illustrious names ranging from fashion industry icons to luxury European houses and American streetwear brands. Building on their first collaboration from last year, Levi’s® and AMBUSH® are back with a new collection inspired by motorbike fashion for spring/summer 2023. The new collection consists of two gender-neutral pieces and includes a denim jacket and matching jeans, clearly influenced by biker culture.

Clear Scents

The meeting of water and matter. That’s the story behind the Eau d’Issey Pivoine and Eau d’Issey pour Homme Vétiver fragrances. Fresh, pure and essential water combines with a natural material, a flower, a plant. In doing so, Issey Miyake is celebrating nature in its purest form. The bottles of these two new fragrances are made out of 20% recycled glass, while the caps are made entirely out of natural wood without any plastic inserts. The wood comes from responsibly managed forests, which helps to minimise the impact on the environment. Thanks to these wooden caps, the risk of polluting the oceans is reduced by 99%, and the amount of water required to make them is lowered by over 95%. Added to that, the fragrances are even vegan. What’s not to like?

Clear Air

Think clearly, sleep well, generate healthy indoor air. The Dyson Purifier Humidify+Cool Formaldehyde cleans air automatically, recognises and breaks down formaldehyde and uses UV-C technology. This allows up to 99.9% of the dust, allergens and viruses to be removed, as well as up to 99.9% of the bacteria in water vapour.

The automatic mode makes it possible for the device to intelligently react to changing air quality and moisture content, and it can be controlled remotely via the Dyson Link app or activated by voice command. Last but not least: it looks great.
