Vilebrequin X Falke Collection
Getting Vilebrequin to wear socks on vacation: that’s quite a skill! Dedicated to the refined modern traveller, the new collaboration from Falke and Vilebrequin is not as unlikely as you may think: both are known for creating high-quality, durable pieces that focus on craftsmanship. Over the generations, Falke and Vilebrequin have become a rendez-vous for vacationers who demand the best. This partnership celebrates life’s warmest rituals – like treating yourself to a beautifully made pair of trunks or socks. It’s the first (and possibly the only!) time you’ll catch Vilebrequin’s turtles in legwear. Swimwear’s most recognizable sea creature is coming to an ultra-colorful range of co-branded swim trunks and socks for men, women, and kids for High Summer 2024. Serving style whatever the climate or event, legwear from the collection features everything from a classic Falke kneehigh sock to a sportier sneaker sock model and an uncomplicated calf-length sock. The secret to vacation chic? Wearing matching suits and socks, of course! The original Saint-Tropez swimwear tailor completes the look with a playful “Turtle Knit” father-son swim trunk honoring Falke’s unique knitting heritage.

Bushmills Irish Whiskey Creates The World’s First ‘Whiskey Wind Down’ Audio Track
Bushmills Irish Whiskey has created the world’s first ‘Whiskey Wind Down’ audio track. Narrated by multi-award winning Northern Irish actor Colin Morgan – star of Belfast and BBC’s Merlin – the track allows the listener to unwind while taking them on a wonderful immersive experience inspired by Northern Ireland’s rugged coastline, fusing the sounds of the dramatic landscape of The Giants Causeway with those of the ancient distillery itself. In the spirit of mindfulness and considered drinking, the audio track spans a full twelve minutes, considered by Bushmills experts to be the precise and ideal length of time to savoir the complexity of their rare single malts. The innovative track has been designed by audio experts, in collaboration with Bushmills Master Blender Alex Thomas, and recorded at Bushmills distillery located on the north coast of Ireland. The ‘Whiskey Wind Down’ audio track has been created to mark the launch of the fifth series of the Bushmills’ Causeway Collection, their annual selection of rare, exclusive and elusive Irish single malt whiskeys. The whiskey is sold at Heathrow Airport.

Peak Performance Elevate Liner Hood
The lightweight technical insulated jacket, which was developed over two years, has been built on the principles of fabric waste reduction, ease of repair, ensuring recyclability, and already has the ISPO Award 2024 perched on its mantelpiece back home in Sweden. It takes waste prevention up a whole new level with its long-developed pattern design achieving an impressive 90% fabric efficiency – a statistic that breaks through the standard 80% marker and challenges the industry’s approach to resourcefulness. The Elevate Liner Hood is built to last, thanks to its repair-friendly quilted pattern and accessible trims, a swappable YKK Easy Repair Top Stop slider, and a colour-matched repair patch tucked in a pocket for quick and easy fixes and a longer lifespan through the most demanding outdoor activities.

Dr. Squatch Grooming
Inspired by a love of natural products, the founder Jack began creating his own natural soap in his garage. He also knew there must be other guys out there who wanted better products with natural ingredients and manly scents. With that, Dr. Squatch was born! Millions of happy customers later, the Dr. Squatch mission remains the same – to raise the bar for natural products and change the way men approach their personal care.

Acqua di Parma Luce di Rosa
Acqua di Parma’s latest creation to join the Signatures of the Sun universe, Luce di Rosa. A collection where the Maison captures and reflects the complexity of precious ingredients with the unexpected prim of vibrant sophistication. A gender-neutral fragrance where the sublimation of the contemporary and dynamic rose counters mineral sharpness with a chiaroscuro effect, giving light to a multifaceted scent whose notes are reminiscent of a vibrant symphony that alternates between piano and forte, adagio and vivace. The starring Bulgarian Rose is distilled from flowers harvested in the Kazanlak region of Bulgaria through a steam-water process, capturing the essence of the rose at its most vibrant. This is evident in the essence’s floral, spicy, and honeyed notes, making it a coveted ingredient in perfumery.

Gloverall Featured on Oasis Cover
As Oasis fans eagerly await the band’s much-anticipated 2025 tour, Gloverall celebrates an iconic fashion moment that forever linked the legendary rock band with British style. The connection between Gloverall, the quintessential British outerwear brand, and Oasis, the band that defined 90s Britpop, is a testament to the enduring influence of music on fashion. The story begins in 1995, when Oasis, at the height of their fame, chose to wear Gloverall’s Morris Duffle Coat on the cover of their single “Roll With It.” This moment captured the essence of 90s British culture, with the band’s raw, anthemic sound perfectly complemented by the rugged elegance of the Morris Duffle Coat in Navy Black Watch. The coat, with its heritage tartan pattern and sturdy construction, became more than just outerwear—it became a symbol of Oasis’s cool and an integral part of their identity.
