 Seydoux says about the collaboration, “I feel extremely proud at the thought of representing such a strong symbol of French elegance, an iconic brand whose initials are known the world over. I deeply admire Nicolas Ghesquière’s work, especially his newness.”

Seydoux who has recently appeared as the latest Bond girl, and was also recently awarded a Palme d’Or in 2013, made her debut for Louis Vuitton at the Unicef Ball in LA, this week where she wore a custom-made design for the occasion. She was accompanied to the ball by Nicolas Ghesquière, Artistic Director of Women’s collections.

The Louis Vuitton For Unicef digital campaign, entitled #makeapromise launches today, during the sixth biennial Unicef Ball in Los Angeles, where Louis Vuitton will be the presenting sponsor.

The Chairman and CEO of Louis Vuitton Michael Burke says of the collaboration, “Charity starts at home. We’ve challenged our teams to come up with a simple but strong product that symbolises protection.

“The Silver Lockit is inspired by the unpickable tumbler lock, invented by Georges Vuitton in 1890 to protect clients’ most precious belongings that travelled in Louis Vuitton trunks. The Silver Lockit is also a token of our promise to help children in urgent need. Our goal is to reach as many people as possible, ask them to share our promise and to make a real difference.”

A detail of the crystal motif on the Heliconia piano by Steinway

Being two luxury brands that share the same philosophy about craftsmanship, perfection and art, it is no surprise that Heliconia is an excellent example of their quest for perfection in all aspects of the creative process. In order to bring the instrument to life, the designers decided to work with a signature motif from the Lalique archives – the Heliconia flower.

The Heliconia piano collaboration between Steinway and Lalique

The result is a piece of art that reflects Lalique’s signature of contrasting clear and frosted crystal finishes and is decorated with 75 Lalique crystals that are pressed, fashioned, cut, engraved, polished and signed at the brand’s factory in Alsace, while every crystal is placed on every individual piece at the Steinway factory in Hamburg

The piano will be available at authorised Steinway dealers

Renli Su’s upcoming SS16 collection reflects the elegance, purity and sophistication that highlighted Britain during the Victorian Era, but is also translated into the contemporary standards that modern life demands.

At the same time, however, Su preserves the integrity of tradition by rejecting what she sees as meaningless designs that are based only on trends. The result includes a fine collection with earthy colours, unpretentious attitude and distinctive sartorial details inspired by the 19th century.

The collection will be available from January 2016 at Dover Street Market (17-18 Dover Str, W1S 4LT), as well as here

Drawing inspiration from photographs that depict everyday scenes from Tokyo, Paris, London and New York, Issey Miyake uses a colour palette extraction technology, known as Omoiiro, to create accessories that convey the general feeling, attitude and warmth of these four cities. The result is a very interesting collection that includes bags, necklaces, corsages and stoles with a distinctive curvy flow.

In order to promote the collection, a special Record-themed website has been created, enabling the user to not only view the products but also reflect memories or enjoy a virtual trip to these iconic cities through video footage and calming, everyday sounds of each city life.

The visitors can also wake their creative side by mixing music as they wish or just relax after a busy day while listening to the music that represents each metropolis.
