Gucci, Dolce&Gabbana, Dior, Montblanc

Launched in spring 2018, these Gucci sandals boast hypnotic detailing, such as fabrics and designs, which add to enriching the mystic world of the collection. Like all Gucci creations, they are made by experienced Italian craftsmen, with carefully selected high quality materials. Composed of leather strips that crisscross your feet and are adorned with glittering embroidered sequins, these sandals feature a leather lining printed with blue rosebuds and the Gucci logo. The strap is adjustable and has a buckle clasp.

The Sicily bag is a timeless accessory and a tribute to the wonders of Sicily, which has always been one of Dolce&Gabbana’s sources of inspiration. Blue and in semitransparent rubber, Sicily has a front flap with the brand’s logo – also present on the bag interior and on the base – and internal magnetic fastening. Both the double top handle and the shoulder strap are removable, through gold or palladium-plated snap-hooks, and the shoulder strap is embroidered in shades of blue. Green, yellow, pink, burgundy, purple, black and red are the other colours available.

The history of haute couture is closely linked to the history of modern art. And because a couturier is also an artist, Dior’s spring-summer 2018 couture collection is inspired by surrealist movements, evoking another world and a constant optical illusion. The collection is feminine and feminist, hailing strong yet seductive women, as well as full of elements inspired by the iconic years of 1960s. Contrasts of proportions, chequered patterns, slits, tulle, lace and transparencies are some characteristics of the collection.

The Montblanc Heritage Collection Rouge & Noir Spider Metamorphosis Special Edition recreates the legendary Rouge et Noir, the first fountain pen range launched by the brand 110 years ago. This pen, which celebrates the pioneering spirit that led Montblanc to revolutionise the culture of writing, comes in a new size and shape, adding improved writing capabilities for a more luxurious experience, including the addition of piston filler technology. While the first edition featured a snake, in this edition Montblanc presents the spider, metaphor for the creative act of writing.
