RIMOWA celebrates 2nd edition of RIMOWA Design Prize

RIMOWA celebrates 2nd edition of RIMOWA Design Prize

RIMOWA celebrated the second edition of the RIMOWA Design Prize during a ceremony in Berlin. This second edition, which launched in December 2023, continues to champion German design talent and recognizes young designers from leading design universities across Germany.

The event took place at the iconic James Simon Gallery, an ideal venue to showcase projects from finalist students in a special exhibition. The first place award went to Janne Kreimer (Anhhalt University), who was mentored by Andreas Murkudis. Her project was the RO, an innovative waistcoat that combines exposure therapy and advanced technology to address anxiety. The vest integrates acupressure meridians and deep pressure stimulation to take a holistic approach to anxiety management, activating the parasympathetic nervous system for a calming effect.  

A special mention went to Daniela Lindenberga (SRH Belin University of Applied Sciences), who was mentored by Sebastian Herkner. Her project, the IXO, addresses the rise of hate-motivated crimes in Germany. The wearable safety device contains essential tools such as a flashlight, camera, microphone, speaker and GPS tracker, designed to enhance the safety of wearers while traveling.

Vivienne Westwood auction at Christie’s

Vivienne Westwood auction at Christie’s

Christie’s will be auctioning Vivienne Westwood: The Personal Collection, which will be offered across a live auction on 25 June, with an online sale running alongside from 14–28 June. The sale will raise funds for the causes Vivienne supported throughout her life, with proceeds going to support The Vivienne Foundation, Amnesty International, Médecins Sans Frontières and Greenpeace.

Vivienne Westwood: The Personal Collection comprises the personal wardrobe of the late fashion designer and includes some of the most important iconic looks that she created and wore during the last four decades of her life. The wardrobe, which only contains garments, shoes and jewellery by Dame Vivienne Westwood’s eponymously named fashion house, is recognised as historically and culturally significant — the earliest piece coming from the Witches collection for autumn/winter 1983/84.

Dame Vivienne Westwood is recognised as one of the most important British fashion designers of all time and, by many, as the most iconic fashion designer of the last quarter of the 20th century. Westwood used her influence to address some of the gravest issues facing humanity today. She established The Vivienne Foundation to partner with NGOs with similar aims: ‘to create a better society and halt climate change’.

Louis Vuitton and Pharrell Williams tap Tyler, the Creator for Spring 2024 Men’s Capsule Collection

Louis Vuitton and Pharrell Williams tap Tyler, the Creator for Spring 2024 Men’s Capsule Collection

Louis Vuitton and Tyler, the Creator have unveiled a Spring 2024 Men’s Capsule Collection, spotlighting the savoir-faire of Louis Vuitton through the creative lens of the American rapper and long-time friend and collaborator of Pharrell Williams.

The looks celebrate the LVERS community, a global artistic network connected by an appreciation of the Maison’s craftsmanship. The collaboration takes the ongoing relationship between Louis Vuitton and Tyler, the Creator to a new level following his composition of the soundtrack for the Fall-Winter 2022 Men’s show.  

An instinctive union between two visual universes, the collection fuses Pharrell Williams’ signature elegant dandy dressing vibe with a sophisticated preppy wardrobe. Melding Tyler, the Creator’s iconography with that of Louis Vuitton, the Craggy Monogram – hand-drawn in a stylized version by the artist himself – becomes the emblem of the exclusive collection. Rendered in pastels, chocolate and vanilla, the motif evokes the creamy colors of liquefied textures found in patisserie, a nod to the donuts logo of the Odd Future hip-hop collective  co-founded by Tyler, the Creator.
