In celebration of its 70th anniversary, luxury Italian fashion house Brioni presents a limited-edition collection of 70 sunglasses titled Gold Edition 70 that revisit the classic aviator eyewear shape while adding Brioni’s innovative style and fine materials. The tribute pieces are each hand-assembled in-house with 18-karat white gold frames, Brioni-logoed horn temples, and polarized platinum lenses with a barely-there mirror effect made possible by avant-guard technology. The sunglasses are encased in a hand-made chocolate brown nabuk case housed inside an elegant walnut box to ensure full protection of the exclusive pieces. Since 1945, Brioni has delivered top quality and Italian sophistication. The Gold Edition 70 collection is the perfect tribute to 70 years of the label’s excellence in fashion.

Jay Z’s Inaugural Men’s Fragrance Was All We Wanted for Valentine’s Day

200.5345.77 Jay Z 3.0 oz. w boxWe were a little shocked when we first realized media mogul and king-of-the-franchise Jay Z had never released a men’s fragrance. It didn’t occur to us that there were still superlatives left on Hova’s bucket list, or marketing-oppertunities left unclaimed. But alas here we are, and appropriately here finally is the rapper’s first men’s eau de toilette, GOLD JAY Z. Created by Beyoncé’s beau and Firmenich perfumer Ilias Ermenidis, the white fougere fragrance bottles the following in its pure white matte flask:

  • Top Notes: layered blend of yellow ginger, white cardamom, and grapefruit with a hint of blueberry
  • Middle Notes: violet leaf, cypress, lavender, and luxurious vetiver with a thread of pink pepper
  • Base Notes: golden amber, patchouli, teak, and bourbon vanilla

“I was impressed with Jay Z’s style and confidence and was drawn to the ease with which he carries himself and all of his success,” says Ilias Ermenidis. “He has a natural cool that people want a piece of. In developing GOLD JAY Z, I wanted to capture both the vibrant ambitious part of Jay Z’s charismatic persona and his effortless style that he naturally embodies through a fusion of notes chosen by Jay Z.”

 

Want to smell like something Queen B wants to cozy up to nightly? Prices range from $70 for a 90 ml/3.0 oz Eau de Toilette to $39 for a 30 ml/1.0 oz. Get a bottle here.
