Hermès Cape Cod Tonneau Gem-Set Rose Gold Watch



With the grace and poise of a Cartier, this fellow Parisian Hermes Cape Cod Tonneau Gem-Set Rose Gold watch is a "grow on you classic" luxury jewelry watch. Building on the Cape Cod Tonneau (which is the shape of the case) watch collection for women, this new model comes in an 18k gold case case with diamond decoration and a mother-of-pearl dial.

The case is set with 52 full-cut top-grade diamonds. The precious stones go quite well with the mother-of-pearl dial. The classy looking Cape Cod case is further complimented by the fantastic art deco style Arabic hour numerals. Inside the watch is a Swiss quartz movement and it comes matched to either a brown or black alligator strap with gold buckle.

Jennifer Lopez And Her Children To Front Gucci Campaign










Jennifer Lopez and her two-year-old twins Max and Emme will be the faces for Gucci's new childrenswear line. WWD reported that the advertisements were shot by photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott in Mailbu, California in July. The advertisements will feature Lopez and her adorable progeny frolicking on the beach wearing Gucci clothes and accessories. Lopez has kept a relatively low profile since the birth of her twins but seems to be resuming her career in a dramatic way this year including her new gig as a judge on American Idol.

As part of the initiative Gucci will also make a donation to UNICEF and the Maribel Foundation - a charity founded by Lopez and her sister, Lynda, which raises money for healthcare for women around the world. Gucci and UNICEF have been partners for six years and Gucci products have raised $7 million
for UNICEF thus far.

Ralph Lauren Women's Flagship Opens on Madison Avenue

Ralph Lauren has just opened his luxurious new women's flagship store (above) in New York at 888 Madison Avenue, which now stands as the feminine counterpart to the company's redesigned men's flagship in the historic Rhinelander Mansion across the street, which The Classicist covered in detail a few weeks back. The 22,000-sq-.ft. store, reminiscent of the grand Beaux-Arts architecture of the early 20th Century, is dedicated to Lauren's Women's and Home collections and also features the designer's first domestic Watch & Jewelry Salon. The stately four-story building offers Ralph Lauren Collection, Women's Black Label, Blue Label, Double RL, RLX Ralph Lauren and Home merchandise, along with a range of exclusive products including fine jewelry, made-to-measure women's suiting and Collection sleepwear. While nothing equals the magnificence of the Rhinelander Mansion, the new women's store is a graceful companion to be sure, not to mention larger than its sibling by some 6,000-sq.-ft. At the boutique's official opening the other night Lauren was given the Key to the City by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg in recognition of his contributions as a designer, business leader and philanthropist.
