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.
Purroy represents something important in contemporary tile design.

Ruslan Baginskiy’s hats have sat atop the heads of the most iconic cultural figures. To this Ukrainian designer, style is not just about glamour but a statement of resilience and identity.
