Charlotte Tilbury Completes the Unreal System with a New Highlighter Stick

Charlotte Tilbury Completes the Unreal System with a New Highlighter Stick Charlotte Tilbury is adding a new product to its Unreal lineup – the Unreal Highlighter Fresh, Healthy Glow Stick, launching 18 June. The product completes the brand’s Unreal system, which launched in 2024 with the Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Foundation Stick and has since expanded to include the Unreal Blush Healthy Glow Sticks and Unreal Lips Healthy Glow Nectar Oils. Each product in the system is designed to be applied without tools or a mirror, with a texture that blends on contact with the skin. The Highlighter is formulated with 92% skincare ingredients, Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamins C and E, and uses the brand’s Glow-Light Mapping Mesh Tech to diffuse light evenly across the skin for a soft-focus finish. It comes in a single shade, Glazed Goddess, a sheer champagne designed to work across all skin tones. It can be worn as the final step in a skincare routine on no-makeup days, or layered over foundation and blush for a more luminous effect. “I created it to take skin from looking tired and flat to glazed and glowing in seconds — for back-of-the-cab glow-ups, off-duty mornings, sun-kissed holiday moments and red-carpet skin,” says Charlotte Tilbury MBE. Alongside the Highlighter, Charlotte Tilbury is also launching a limited-edition mini version of its Unreal Blush Healthy Glow Stick, available from 16 July at Sephora and charlottetilbury.com in four shades: Rosy Glow, Peachy Glow, Pinky Glow and Cherry Glow.

boco atelier – A Dedication to Bali

boco atelier – A Dedication to Bali After months of waiting, BOCO finally presents their third release, A Dedication to Bali .   Inspired by Balinese morning rituals and the quiet meeting between the ocean and dawn, the collection is created to carry the feeling of calm forward, long after the day has begun.   In Bali, the day begins at the water’s edge. For generations, people have turned to the sea — not just to wash, but to cleanse the mind, prepare and begin anew. A ritual older than memory itself, still performed every morning with the same quiet presence.   Between the tide and the first light of day, a rare calm arises. A moment that demands nothing in return, but which remains long afterwards.   The new Bali Collection is crafted in the color of the Indian Ocean at dawn — sun-washed, mineral and tranquil. A wooden brush designed to carry that atmosphere. From the shoreline to the morning at home. To the moment before the world gets louder.   The collection marks BOCO’s third release and continues the brand’s vision of creating objects that unite function, aesthetics and ritual.   About boco   Boco was founded in 2024 by Louise and Oskar Fröjdén, a Swedish entrepreneurial couple with a background in brand development and communication.   The brand stands for slow beauty – products where quality, craftsmanship and design meet.   Collection: The Petite Hairbrush Collection   Price: 1,245 SEK

Louis Vuitton Monogram Embleme : Heritage Reimagined

Louis Vuitton Monogram Embleme : Heritage Reimagined To celebrate the 130th anniversary of the Monogram, Louis Vuitton is set to unveil the Monogram Emblème in June 2026, a highly tactile jacquard canvas that reinterprets the iconic House signature. Monogram Emblème honours the legendary motif, drawing inspiration from the original cotton canvases that once adorned travel trunks. The jacquard is now made from a blend of GOTS-certified cotton and linen fibres to create a unique texture. This durable, water-repellent fabric is also embellished with a new, denser pattern reminiscent of embroidery. The innovative canvas comes in an array of colours drawn from the Vuittonnier– the House’s signature colour library. The textured effect is enhanced by deep tones, created using five differently coloured threads. The Pre-Fall 2026 collection, arriving in stores on 5 June, introduces new shades: Peuplier, inspired by the trunks’ wooden structure, and Rose Ruban, a tribute to theribbon detailing on historic trunk designs.   In September 2026, Monogram Bleu, taken from the 1930s register, and Vert Jura, inspired by the flora of Louis Vuitton’s native region, will be launched. Monogram Emblème adorns the House’s iconic model, including the Alma, Neverfull, Speedy, Noé and Keepall bags, as well as the Side Trunk, which reflects Louis Vuitton’s heritage as a luggage maker. The motif also appears on small leather goods, shoes and accessories, underscoring the uniqueness of this new signature.

Dior Unveils Latest High Jewelry Collection Diorissima

Dior Unveils Latest High Jewelry Collection Diorissima At the heart of the Palazzo del Casinò, an emblematic palace of renowned Art Deco elegance, Victoire de Castellane unveils her new haute joaillerie collection – Diorissima – in a sumptuous tribute to La Serenissima. Abstraction and naturalism merge in an interplay of precious metamorphoses, exalting both Dior’s unique heritage and the magnificence of Venice. Illuminated by the Lido and the reflections of the lagoon, this exceptional collection depicts three enchanting worlds – lush vegetation, aquatic depths and mysterious constellations – extolling nature’s diverse beauty, the passion for superstition and the magic of dreams, all values and universes dear to Christian Dior. By turns, clover, wisteria, bunches of fruit, algae-covered seabeds, coral and bubbles appear, as well as suns, eclipses and ‘happy clouds’. A whole host of fabulous, whimsical cabinets of curiosities come alive through the excellence of Dior’s jewellery savoir-faire. Unexpected combinations of dazzling gemstones and vibrant colours unfold down to the finest, virtuoso details. This magical spectacle is further enhanced by the silhouettes of Creative Director Jonathan Anderson, who for the first time has turned his hand to designing haute couture creations that magnify these jewelled compositions: a selection of bustier dresses, draped pieces, flowing suits, micro-pleated chiffons and flourishes of velvet, organza and pearls. A captivating dialogue between Dior and Venice, fusing creative joy and the quintessence of exceptional artisanship. “I created this collection as an ode to life, an expression of joie de vivre. When Christian Dior founded his House, he probably imagined that we could once again celebrate the joy of life, and, for me, all these jewels are like little living creatures, little odes to life that inhabit an ideal world in a joyful garden, a sort of Paradise” says Victoire de Castellane, Artistic Director of Dior Joaillerie.

A Legacy in Steel: Börje Salming’s Final Vision Lives On

A Legacy in Steel: Börje Salming’s Final Vision Lives On Few athletes leave a legacy that extends far beyond their sport. Börje Salming was one of them. Revered for his courage, resilience, and pioneering impact on hockey, he was also deeply passionate about craftsmanship and design. That passion now lives on through the first timepiece from Salming Watches: a project Börje helped shape from the ground up. The idea was born in 2018 when Salming and longtime friend Mats Kullenberg set out to create a watch that met Börje’s exacting standards. Swiss-made mechanics, Swedish production, and uncompromising quality were non-negotiable. Working closely with design studio Superlab, he remained involved in every detail. The result is a watch infused with personal references: the number 21, his iconic jersey number, is the only numeral on the dial; the crown is inspired by a hockey puck; and the seconds hand features the silhouette of Toronto’s CN Tower, a tribute to the city where he became a legend. When Börje passed away in 2022, his family chose to continue the project, convinced it was something he would have wanted to see completed. More than a watch, it is a tribute to a remarkable life, one that captures the precision, determination, and authenticity that defined Börje Salming, and ensures his legacy continues to move forward with time.

Next Chapters in Scandinavian Design

Next Chapters in Scandinavian Design image courtesy Muuto For its 20th anniversary, Muuto turns the spotlight toward the future of Scandinavian design. Rather than revisiting past icons, the brand introduces two limited‑edition pieces, each released in 150 numbered units,  alongside a new book created with Gestalten. Together, they outline a more intentional, emotionally attuned direction. The Close to Heart Chair by Spacon reworks industrial aluminum profiles into a surprisingly tender form. Hearts appear within the structure, softening the strict geometry and adding a quiet emotional charge. Crafted in Denmark, the chair balances precision with instinct, suggesting that rational design can still hold warmth. Lise Vester’s Inner View Object takes a more atmospheric approach. Mouth‑blown in Murano, the curved glass shifts between reflection and distortion, catching light in layered tones. It behaves less like a mirror and more like a moment of pause — a small interruption that changes how a space is perceived. Completing the release is Next Chapters in Scandinavian Design, Muuto’s new book with Gestalten. Through essays and visual narratives, it explores how color, tactility, light, and material presence shape contemporary interiors. It positions Scandinavian design not as a fixed aesthetic, but as an evolving practice rooted in intention. Muuto’s anniversary collection signals a subtle shift: from function toward feeling, from clarity toward presence. A new chapter, written quietly but with purpose.

Gucci introduces The Original Sinner

Gucci introduces The Original Sinner images courtesy Gucci Gucci unveils The Original Sinner, a new campaign starring Global Brand Ambassador Jannik Sinner, built around a playful wordplay that mirrors his singular presence both on and off the court. The House continues its long dialogue with the world of tennis, reimagining its iconography through an athlete whose approach to the game feels instinctive, modern and unmistakably his own. Sinner inhabits the campaign with the same quiet intensity he brings to competition. Sport and style, heritage and modernity, all carried with an ease that defines what it means to be an original. A tennis ball reimagined as an apple becomes the visual signature, a symbol of both his precision and the fresh, irreverent spirit he brings to fashion. For over fifty years, tennis has shaped Gucci’s aesthetic language, from its first accessories in the 1970s to the contemporary codes seen today. Throughout his journey with the House, Sinner has challenged expectations, from historic victories to the moment he stepped onto the court carrying a custom Gucci duffle, merging performance with personal expression. With The Original Sinner, Gucci explores the evolving space where athleticism meets individuality, capturing a mood that is timeless yet forward looking. A campaign defined by confidence, character and the unmistakable presence of an athlete in a league of his own.
