An unlikely but brilliant collaboration: vintage dealers OOTO (Out of the Ordinary), who find rarities for private clients like Kim Kardashian or Rihanna and costumes for films from House of Gucci to Saltburn, were approached by high street boho brand Monsoon to curate 1990s designer originals for its Portobello Road vintage store, which recycles its 1970s and 1980s originals. The first pieces include names like Gianni Versace, Prada and Lagerfeld-era Chanel, all under £500. Celebrates Monsoon's half-century with a selection refreshed every six weeks.
Animal magic - Shaun Leane’s new collection, Signum, began in lockdown when he befriended a family of urban foxes and later discovered ancient beliefs from his ancestral Irish homeland, where animal spirits represent desirable human qualities. Single Mine Origin gold shield shapes (for protection) are hand-engraved and enamelled with a choice of nine animals and six enamel colours for personalised rings, bracelet and pendants.
The second collaboration between British watch brands Bremont and Bamford Watch Department shines a new light on the traditional dive watch. The Supermarine GMT Aurora dives to 500 metres and shrugs off rugged environments, its sandwich dial featuring a plate of bright green Superluminova, also on hands, indicators and sapphire day/night bezel, with black upper dial and strap.
Jacob Cohën's new spring/summer collection celebrates the conscious traveler, expressing clear ideas about where his journey will take him, whether as a metaphor for life or simply for his August holiday. Full of the typical Italian beauty of the Bel Paese, the collection captivates the eye and soothes the soul.
One design, a profusion of exquisitely-crafted versions, as Paris shoe brand Roger Vivier brings haute couture to handbags. The softly-pleated Viv'Choc chain-handled bag is worked a dozen ways, including handcrafted flowers in silk chiffon, feathers, hammered metal, complex beading and embroidery or hand-set crystals. Each a one-off but variants can be ordered.
The first selling exhibition at Sotheby’s London’s luxurious new Salon features unique works by high-flying Brazilian jeweller Fernando Jorge. Tactile, organic pieces with coloured gems, river pebbles and amber, and fluid cat's cradles of fine gold and diamonds, are technically complex, attracting global clients. From January 22 for two weeks.
