We try not to post too many pie-in-the-sky concepts vehicles — usually they’re just self-indulgent vaporware renderings never crafted to actually see the light of day. Or production. But Russian designer Mikhail Smolyanov’s latest exercise is so good it’s worth promoting. That, and it’s apparently going to be built. According to BikeEXIF, an established Russian […]

Unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show (where else this week, really) these two concepts aren’t just whimsical blog fodder, they’re actually intended for eventual production heading into 2015. The […]

Now that Fiat (who owns Alfa) bought Chrysler, and […]

God these are some beautiful shoes, courtesy of Japanese cobbler sak, aka Hiruma. Elevating the art of shoe making to an artisanal level, the Japanese born sak chose to study and practice the art of Italian craftsmanship in Florence, Italy for nearly a decade.
