What better way to show keep your feet nice and toasty in the soon to be brisk weather than with some stylish, out of the box socks? Jimmy Lion is a new start-up based in the Big Apple – and they’re taking on the sock industry one foot at a time.
The brand started out as a project between two friends who were obsessed with well made products. The company was founded to give consumers an alternative to all of the overpriced socks out there. Premium quality and great design without breaking the bank. We like where this is going.
These socks are made of soft, combed cotton, free of seams and finished by hand. There is even a “hand-linked” toe for extra comfort. Designs range from monkeys, skulls, waves, raindrops and lightening bolts – even “Miami Vice” for that upcoming trip to South Beach. And while these dress socks are playful and fun, they’re not too loud – making them perfect for the office.
If you’re not a “prints” guy, then you can go with the solids and the stripes – but where’s the fun in that? So put a little roar in your step and check out the whole Jimmy Lion collection over at their website http://www.jimmylion.com/.
Tonda PF Micro Rotor Platinum will take your breathe away with its subtlety
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.”
New Aston Martin-inspired Girard-Perregaux watch boasts color-changing dial
An Aston Martin in a 42 mm casing
Every single detail in an Aston Martin sports car, from the shape to the exhaust sound, evokes some positive emotions—this new watch is the embodiment of that.
Featuring a 42 mm casing, the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition has a striking green dial—a color that easily captures attention and, with the high-quality finish, immerses you into a whole new world. Aston Martin’s first few cars had a green hue, so this new timepiece passes down the heritage.
Authentic Roz explores the human experience in New York Fashion Week debut
Finding the balance between fitting in and standing out with Authentic Roz
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.
