Prada Men’s and Women’s autumn/winter 2024 campaign
If you’re familiar with Prada, you would know that every collection it has is a conversation—a play of contrasting opinions and viewpoints. Backed by an ensemble cast of world-renowned actors, captured in intimacy and stolen moments, the latest autumn/winter campaign features the work of American filmmaker and writer, Miranda July. It is also accompanied by short films directed the the Oscar-nominated documentary director, Garrett Bradley, where July herself is an “invisible protagonist.” More here.
Montblanc’s Star Legacy
100 years have passed since the Meisterstück was launched, and with Montblanc’s long-standing connection to writing, what better way to celebrate than to pay tribute to Enheduanna, the world’s earliest known author? This homage comes in the form of the new Limited-Edition Star Legacy Suspended Exo Tourbillon Skeleton, which includes plenty of high-end ornaments inspired by her work and era. Limited to 10 pieces, this 18-karat yellow gold piece is decorated with an onyx dial engraved with an extract from one of her Temple Hymns, and at its heart, there’s a patented Suspended Exo Tourbillon complication that was developed by the master watchmakers of Montblanc.
