When Dior does velvet, you know you'll want it: along with a new Lalique fragrance for men and tickets to the Sydney Film Festival.
Scroll down to see what we've picked out for you this week.
Man of mystery
The bottle may be striking, but it’s this most interesting of fragrances - with notes of basil, rum, lavender, patchouli and leather - that makes Lalique L’Insoumis one for the gentleman who takes time to get to know. 100ml $175. Agence de Parfum
Cool collaboration
A new collaboration between object designer Trent Jansen, artist and architect Richard Goodwin and Indian design thinker Ishan Khosla at Hotel Hotel’s Nishi Gallery confirms the notion that one person’s junk is another’s treasure. Repurposing pieces found in the ‘Chor Bazaar’ (thieves market) and ‘Kabari Bazaars’ (junk markets) in Mumbai, India, the trio have created new and interesting objects and furniture in Porosity Kabari (the Hindu word for junk). Trent Jansen will also host a workshop on the making process of Jugaad, a
Hindu notion of thinking of
solutions differently and
figuring out the process
as you go along. Friday
June 9 to Sunday July 9.
Hotel Hotel Nishi Gallery,
Canberra.Workshop,
Saturday June 10.
$55. Eventbrite
Token of strength
Crafted from 18-carat yellow gold and studded with
24 twinkling pavé diamonds is this elephant pendant from Ole Lynggaard. A pretty reminder of the majesty in the every day. $9950 (chain sold separately).
Tel: 1800 765 336
Lush textures
A dress to make Madeline the French schoolgirl see red is this sweet velvet number with a Peter Pan collar from Christian Dior. Add knee-high
socks and t-bar sandals to complete the look. A
riding hat remains
optional. Velvet dress,
$7200; J’Adior rabbit
felt hat, $1200; Dior
Addict shoulder case
in black calfskin, $5800;
high boots in black
tulle and patent
calfskin, $1650.

Just in case
The Blancpain Tribute to
Fifty Fathoms Mil-Spec is a watch
that indeed lives up to its name, a
2017 tribute to a pioneering 1950s dive
model that boasted a humidity indicator
at six o’clock. It turns completely orange
should moisture breach the watch, thus
alerting the diver. Will you ever need it?
Unlikely, but it’s a unique touch that adds
to the appeal. The movement has twin-barrels delivering four days’ power reserve, the
water-resistance rating is 300 metres
and you’re looking at $17,650.
Inquiries (03) 8844 3300.

Handbag designer
and fashion darling
Sara Battaglia has
collaborated with
Salvatore Ferragamo
for a second time on a
capsule collection of quirky leather goods. Prints that pop, reworked favourite Ferragamo motifs and good craftsmanship are the hallmark. Suzy leather tote. $2290. Tel: 1300 095 224
Square eyes
Buffs, snobs and dabblers are likely to find something at this year’s Sydney Film festival worth telling their friends about. The opening film is Warwick Thornton’s We Don't Need a Map and the program includes conversations with actor Ben Mendelsohn, and with Margaret Pomeranz and Vanessa Redgrave. One for fashion lovers is the documentary Dries, tracing the long career of iconic Belgian fashion designer Dries van Noten and including commentary from fashion insiders Iris Apfel (pictured) and Suzy Menkes. June 7 to June 18. For the full program and to buy tickets visit Sydney Film Festival
Getaway vibes
Close your eyes and
imagine that you’re on
holiday, it’s warm and
there’s definitely a cocktail in hand. Or at least, wear this dreamy Chloé ensemble and achieve a similar effect. Perfect for mid-winter escapes to Europe, the dress is part of Net-a-Porter’s new vacation-ready capsule collections, aptly dubbed Jet-a-Porter. Cotton crepon maxi skirt, $4270; silk and cotton crepon puff-sleeve blouse, $2400; Nile metallic bag, $1560; leather block heel sandal, $1360. Net-a-porter
Primary colours
A splice of bold
colours makes
for a pair of
shoes destined
for striding in.
The Harler heels
from Christian
Louboutin are
serious with a touch
of playfulness. $1345.

A beautiful instrument
A serious document requires a serious pen, and the limited-edition Patron of the Arts Scipione Borghese fountain pen from Montblanc is certainly this. It takes inspiration from Roman baroque style, and emulates a cardinal’s hat
in the cap and the
marble pillar inside
the Villa Borghese in
the ringed pattern.
$11,880. Montblanc
Eye-popping
Inspired by metallics and available in 10 hues, the Shu Uemura eye foils are easy to apply and create an intense sheen. $44. Tel: 1300 651 991
