Life, James Hein, Published on 02/07/2025
» I'm still not convinced that Tesla's camera-only approach will work well in all situations.

Life, Published on 27/06/2025
» Valentino presents aesthetics through a new lens in Valentino Resort 2026 that redefines luxury with serene elegance.

The result is a contemporary reinterpretation of classic silhouettes that retain the timeless elegance at the heart of the maison.

Running until the middle of February, it is the first in a series of travelling exhibitions alongside various initiatives to celebrate the brand's iconic Serpenti motif throughout the year.
