JUST A LITTLE CRUSH
It’s a crush that has (for us at least) transformed into true love. Inspired by the matelassé quilted motif, these covetable pieces from Chanel’s Coco Crush collection are a yellow gold bracelet finely engraved with the stylised quilted pattern and studded with diamonds, and asymmetrical earrings in 18-karat yellow gold and 18-karat white gold set with 22 brilliant-cut diamonds.

LE FREAK, C’EST CHIC
Transparent candy floss-hued acetate, embellished with crystals and macro GG gold metal logos, there’s no hiding on the sidelines with these oversized Gucci shades, which are part of creative director Alessandro Michele’s new 250-strong collection. Inspired by street style, explorations and the Renaissance with the overall vision of “Hollywood Forever”, they’re a wearable homage to the spirit of the Seventies.

BIKE LIGHT WITH BUGATTI
Unveiled at the recent Geneva International Motor Show in March, PG and Bugatti Automobiles inspired murmurs of appreciation when they launched this 95 per cent carbon bicycle, which at a mere five kilograms, is the lightest urban bicycle in the world. Styled as an homage to founder Ettore Bugatti, who also designed a bike, the brand DNA is honoured through the use of materials such as titanium and aluminium – as found in a Bugatti supercar. Limited to just 667 orders, Bugatti customers can even adapt their bicycle’s style to match their supercar, with each bike refined and customised by hand at the showroom in Weinstadt.
