A ROSE-TINTED SEASON
Whatever Raf Simons touches turns to gold, or in this case, rose/deep gray. Since leaving Dior, Calvin Klein’s new chief creative officer’s eyewear collection is not only a glimpse into his artistic and curatorial perspective of the brand, with dual-coloured lenses and sleek metal detailing, this rectangular-shaped pair creates a modern, architectural silhouette that will take you from autumn through to Courchevel.

THE “ONLY” WATCH FOR YOU
Evoking “the last moments of light cast by the sun as darkness descends on the evening sky”, you too, may come over all Shakespearean when you take a closer look at Audemars Piguet’s blue-dialled version of its black ceramic Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar, created for the Only Watch auction taking place in Geneva this November.

Our eyes locked on the Mini Trunk bag in dark amethyst or gold-ochre croc print – certain to become the focal point of any ensemble.
