With green grass finally peeking through the slush on the sidewalk and the smell of budding flowers in the air, we’re all emerging from our caves and blinking in the sunlight, drawing us toward discount airfare sites.

Spring inevitably means a big, juicy bite from the travel bug, which makes it the perfect time for luggage brand Aer to debut the new Go Collection.

This new line of packable travel bags is tailor-made for the urban adventurer who leaves the hotel in the morning with no plans to return until … well, the morning. With that in mind, Aer designed each of the four bags in its Go Collection to easily be rolled up or packed flat inside larger luggage, ensuring streamlined efficiency even in your transit from here to there.

The Go Collection features a clean, minimalist profile and a tweedy, heather black colorway, making it a fittingly neutral, yet undeniably distinctive addition to any wardrobe. As tough as it is tasteful, the 300D ripstop Cordura fabric (from which all the bags are built) is lightweight and durable, and trimmed with premium materials such as Fidlock® magnetic fasteners for quick and easy access. (The one-handed camera grab is a piece of cake with these fasteners.)

The bags also offer organizational compartments — a laptop pocket, quick-access pocket, water bottle/umbrella pocket, and interior stash pockets — that let all your essentials tag along.

Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Platinum offers subtle luxury

Tonda PF Micro Rotor Platinum will take your breathe away with its subtlety

Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Micro Rotor Platinum

The new Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Platinum is a subtle luxury statement with a minimalistic design—a laid-back aesthetic that’s quite interesting.

Speaking on the design, Michel Parmigiani. founder and master watchmaker, said, "The Golden Ratio is far more than a mathematical formula: it is the universal breath that orders beauty and harmony. Every creation I shape—from the curves of the lugs to the guilloché patterns—carries this eternal balance. It is the guiding thread, the invisible essence that connects the case’s proportions, the grace of the hands, and the soul of every timepiece. Through it, watchmaking becomes a silent poetry, an echo of nature’s immutable laws.”

Authentic Roz explores the human experience in New York Fashion Week debut

Finding the balance between fitting in and standing out with Authentic Roz

Authentic Roz look 3

Walking through New York Fashion Week presentations and showrooms, you start to get a feel of what most brands and designers are used to working with. There are hot buzzwords. Inspiration and creativity seem to be center stage in most runway shows and showrooms. However, as I made my way up North from Madison Square Park to The Prince George Ballroom in the Flatiron District, I found myself in a different sort of environment, the kind where the designer of the collection about to walk down the runway also served as the DJ. From the clothes to the tunes to the ideology, Rayan Alami had a hand in every aspect of his New York Fashion Week debut. After seeing designer after designer with the same philosophies throughout New York, Alami embodied the name of his debut collection at Fashion Week, "I am Different."
Using music and culture to blend a unique style

New York Fashion Week is essentially an opportunity to blend art and fashion into one and tell a story through sartorial expression. While designers find inspiration in all walks of life, Alami uses his multicultured heritage and his love of music to blend a style truly unique in the industry. When I sat down with him after his show, I asked how he brought culture to his work.
