For GRAU, light has never just been functional — it’s emotional, architectural, and often deeply personal. At Milan Design Week, the German brand’s latest collection brings this vision into sharp focus. Across three distinctive settings, GRAU unveils new iterations of its most recognisable lights alongside entirely new designs — each one building on the brand’s growing archive while pushing further into atmosphere, feeling, and form.

oakley muzm eyeshade | the return of a game-changer

Over four decades after its debut, Oakley dives back into its groundbreaking past to reintroduce the MUZM Eyeshade, a limited-edition revival of the original Factory Pilot Eyeshade that forever changed sports performance eyewear.

havaianas | gigi hadid joins as global ambassador

Flip-flops are having a major fashion renaissance, and Havaianas is leading the charge by appointing Gigi Hadid as its new global ambassador. What began in 1962 as a simple, rubber sandal inspired by traditional Japanese zori has grown into a global phenomenon. Originally worn by Brazilian workers for their durability and comfort, Havaianas quickly became a staple of laid-back summer dressing, celebrated for their easygoing appeal and signature rice-textured soles. Now, they’re making their mark in high fashion, proving that flip-flops are no longer just for the beach.

ruinart x julian charrière | conversations with nature

For its 2025 artist collaboration, Ruinart partners with Julian Charrière, a Franco-Swiss artist whose work explores the intersections of time, geology, and human impact. Known for blending scientific research with poetic storytelling, Charrière challenges how we perceive nature — not as something separate from us, but as a force constantly shaped by human history and intervention. Conversations with Nature brings this perspective to Ruinart’s terroir, transforming the Champagne house’s deep connection to the land into an artistic dialogue that spans millennia.

And what better way to embrace change than by shaking things up?
