Bulgari’s new Serpenti watches by Tadao Ando may catch some by surprise. Though the Roman jewelry house and the Japanese Pritzker Prize winner have teamed up before, their latest project marks the first time the brand has invited someone to update the Serpenti: a high-glamour icon beloved by the likes of Elizabeth Taylor.

Elements of Style - Charlotte Macaux Perelman and Alexis Fabry celebrate 10 years of artistic exploration at Hermès
Last March, Hermès brought its home universe to life in eye-popping fashion at a one-night-only extravaganza staged at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. The lavish performance featured dozens of dancers showcasing the French luxury house's furniture, tableware, textiles, and decorative objects in elaborately choreographed vignettes that seemed to riff on the unboxing ritual so popular on social media-a supersized spectacle of conjuring magic from ordinary crates. The event also coincided with the 10th anniversary of Charlotte Macaux Perelman and Alexis Fabry's tenure as artistic directors of the Hermès home division.
