We already saw what Alfa Romeo could do with one premier Italian design house, so why not give some shine to their collaboration with another legendary Italian design house — this time Bertone. While Pininfarina’s 2uettottanta Concept has the curvaceous elegance of a 50s pinup, this Pandion Concept is an angular, futuristic, razorblade-fitted assassin. Its […]

As a child all my dad drove were Alfa Romeos — 2 GTV Veloces and an old ‘68 GTV 1750. To this day magical memories of those beautiful Italian lines make me teary eyed. I’m not exactly sure what mesmerized me so — maybe it was the blood red finish, maybe it was the euphonic […]

I love a lot of Adam Kimmel’s work, I just wish he could put out a line of clothing affordable by people who don’t spend their winters ensconced in 400 foot yachts off Saint Barths.

Now they’re about to launch their Apexinitiative, and for the first edition they’ve partnered with Fatlace  — but don’t think they’ve forsaken […]

In what’s sure to be a sign of things to come, Italian shoe and bag maker Tod’s has launched its own line of luxury leather motorcycle helmets. Featuring a microfiber lining, chrome hardware and flip-up plexiglass eye shields, the luxury lids are priced at about $1,000 and come in glove soft, saddle stitched black, white […]

I’m really loving this concept Lamborghini — titled the Toro LA 690-4. Designed by University of Montreal industrial design student Amadou Ndiaye, the car is a modern revision of the classic Lamborghini Espada, but does an excellent job of incorporating modern Lambo design elements — especially those of the Reventon. The “LA” stands for “Longituinale […]
