In 1953, Marilyn Monroe sang “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend.” A lot has changed and evolved since then — and while precious stones have lost little if any of their sparkle, in recent times, luxury watches have put up an exciting fight for the love, affection, and attention of women.

A micro-hotel within a factory, a grand courtyard inside a storied Milanese building: this is the Mua Mua Hotel, a project from Tom Dixon's Design Research Studio. Born as a temporary showcase for Dixon's collections during Milan Design Week, it has since opened its doors as a permanent hotel.

Lardini’s story starts in 1978 in Filottrano, a small town near Ancona. Luigi, Andrea, and Lorena Lardini were barely out of their teens when they took over their father’s tailoring business and, step by step, shaped it into something of their own. It was a moment when Italian fashion was gaining global momentum, but their route didn’t begin on a catwalk. It began in the workroom.
