niversary, Page has been remastering all nine records and weaving in unreleased material worthy of rock nirvana. In a late 2017 interview with the Academy of Achievement, the fire-slinging guitarist said, “There’ll be Led Zeppelin product coming out, for sure, that people haven’t heard because I’m working on that...there’s all manner of surprises coming out.” Page last released Led Zeppelin’s entire studio catalog in 2014-15, as deluxe reissues plus companion disks with outtakes, demos, and a peek at the band’s creative process. But Page still has the vaults and the vision, and fans hope he’ll unearth previously unheard live performances and forge rock gold for the 2018 Led Zeppelin reissues. Will the superstar band swing by your city for a heavy metal blast of a reunion tour? Stay tuned as news is developing.
ems and the application of age-old ideas. While born into a family of successful and creative bankers, Messel’s interests ran towards the arts from an early age, experimenting in all manner of mediums, from drawing and painting to fabrics, wax, and paper mâché. His fifty-year-long career, launched in 1925 with a mask collection created during his student years at Slade School of Art, would traverse a broad field of artistic endeavors, from theatrical stage design to film sets and on into the world of interior design and architecture. At each stage, he would prove a master of an eccentric romanticism, defying reality to create a vision of delicate whimsy and elegance.
llector’s Room. Naturally, those who have everything wish to keep their hard-won treasures. A Dottling Luxury Safe or Collector’s Room ensures they do while looking simply exquisite in the process. Case in point: Dottling Colosimo “Watch Safe” Double Wing. Inspired by the iconic 1954 Mercedes 300SL “Gull-Wing,” the mini-safe’s clock and toggle switches are respectful nods to Gull-Wing. Its sumptuous lines harken directly back to the impeccable styling of that legendary automobile. Colosimo Double Wing is the ideal manifestation of the Dottling ethos. Were James Bond himself to hand-select a safe to secure his valuables, it would surely be none other than that of the century-old Magstadt, Germany bespoke company whose pledge of beauty and craftsmanship in the safe making is uncompromised.
annerist movement which inspired his new interpretation of reality, or the primacy given to color rather than the traditional standard of form? Perhaps El Greco himself made it clear when he famously stated that “I paint because the spirits whisper madly inside my head.” These spirits would lead El Greco on an artistic journey as bold as his brushwork, a journey that would ultimately inspire future painters and writers alike and win him worldwide fame. In his lifetime, his success was limited and transient, the world at large not quite ready for the vision that informed his work.

he timepiece and the man who wore it was submerged in the icy water of the North Atlantic Ocean, beyond hope or help. These are, but a few of the artifacts discovered amongst the eerie remains of the Titanic. It may be less than a league under the sea, but the most legendary shipwreck in modern times was still too deeply hidden for the layman observer until now, when deep pockets will allow for the viewing of the legend, two miles down, from inside a manned submersible. Over a century since an iceberg famously sunk the unsinkable, the Titanic Survey Expedition seeks to document that which remains.
twice. A woman of exotic beauty in command of her impulses, with a charming wit and keen intelligence, she would turn her misfortunes to her advantage, using her every talent to survive in a world that gave her little and, in the end, took her all, including her life. At one time, a free spirit deemed ahead of her times, the young divorcee who danced for her supper and became the most celebrated courtesan of her day, would ultimately be caught in the web of extraordinary times that labeled her a double-agent while condemning her for the very exploits for which she had once been revered and celebrated.
rican American, millionaire, and exotic superstar. A free thinker, trendsetter, and woman of extraordinary, if flawed, determination, Josephine Baker danced her way from humble beginnings with the vaudeville Dixie Steppers to become the darling of nations in the 1920s. She smuggled messages for the French Resistance during World War II and fought for civil rights alongside Martin Luther King, Jr. Her Rainbow Tribe, her family of adopted children from all corners of the world, was forged to set an example of brotherhood between all races and religions, an ideal she would pursue till the very end of her life. A life that, after extreme wealth and fame, very nearly ended much the way it had begun.
ay be forgiven for thinking so.

They famously used a Globe-Trotter suitcase on her 1947 honeymoon, an item that may still be found among her travel set to this day.
ly pleasing appearances, and drives toward artistic perfection. A man who prefers a monochromatic look, Ford grew up fascinated by design and spent part of his youth rearranging the family’s furniture. His real estate agent parents encouraged him to pursue his passions, so he studied at NYU, acted in commercials, and enrolled in architecture at Parsons School of Design. Ford shifted his interest to fashion after interning at Chloe in Paris and sketched at Cathy Hardwick despite having little fashion knowledge. While in New York, the ever-creative Ford observed glamorous disco dancers at Studio 54, which would ultimately influence his future clothing designs.
rchitecture and high fashion.” He is said to have reinvented the modern concept of luxury by ascribing equal importance to architecture and interior design while being considered one of fashion’s top 100 influentials. His art collection is the stuff of legend, and his work may be seen all over the globe, from Tokyo to Paris, London to New York, and down Rodeo Drive. His office has run out of flags for the world map that keeps track of his projects. Yet, Peter Marino, “Architect, Design Visionary and Bon Vivant Extraordinaire,” considered as accomplished an architect as a decorator, a self-described precocious kid from Queens with a hearty laugh and a penchant for motorcycles.
focused on their first mission to Mars, but the consequences of success could be far more profound and far-reaching than simply interplanetary travel. But then, Elon Musk, the CEO and product architect of Tesla, has never been one to think small. If anything, he feels most space programs have not been ambitious enough, a condition that cannot be said to apply to his SpaceX program. Beyond the moon, beyond space travel, Musk seeks to revolutionize space technology and secure the future of humanity by colonizing Mars. Since 2002, his company SpaceX has worked towards this dream, developing spacecraft that have shattered the glass ceiling on space exploration.

roduction facility in Valenza, Italy, while globally developing a string of exclusive luxury hotels and resorts. It is a process of diversification initiated decades ago, envisioned by the descendants of the founder himself. The Bulgari brand, established in Rome in 1884 by Greek jeweler Sotirios Boulgaris, has long been revered for the opulent and striking designs that characterize their jewelry. Since the 1970’s, the grandchildren and extended family of Sotirios have led the Bulgari expansion, leading to internationalization and the inclusion of a Swiss watch product line.

e Royal Geographical Society in 1865, Everest has thrilled, tested, and thwarted climbers ever since. Along the way, it has sparked mystery and debate, as when George Mallory and Andrew Irvine launched a gallant summit charge on the morning of June 8, 1924. Last observed near the mountain’s zenith, the two would later vanish into a cloud bank. No trace would be seen of either for more than three-quarters of a century until the 1999 discovery of Mallory’s remains on the North Face. In the 65 years since Hillary and Norgay became the first to the summit and returned to tell the tale, Everest has lost none of its tempting luster.
ian beauty, enduring childhood bullying for her unusual height and sculpted face, seemed destined for a life far beyond the Italian town of Lodi where she grew up. It was a life Balti felt calling as she perused the glossy fashion magazines in her father’s office and tentatively pursued after moving to Milan to attend university as a graphic design student. Initially, it was a fantasy that eluded her grasp, but ultimately, the dream itself sought out Balti, to see her travel the globe as an Italian supermodel, as the most recognized muse of Dolce & Gabbana, and as an Ambassador for Paris L’Oreal.
e was later joined by his nephew and eventual partner, Henry William Holland, crystallizing the Holland & Holland name. The two shepherded the company to international renown during the 19th Century's second half, honing a reputation for unrivaled craftsmanship. That renown laid the foundation for the company's later metamorphosis into a globally respected luxury goods brand. Almost two centuries after its founding, the iconic British gun maker takes its cue from the exceptional realm of fine Swiss watchmaking. Painstakingly monitoring quality by handcrafting all components in its own factory, the firm produces a small quantity of beautifully adorned, consummately balanced firearms each year.

Born into a working-class family in Essex, David James Gandy was instilled with equal parts modesty and ambition, qualities that continue to inform his choices. His commitment to charities appears as fierce as his adherence to the principles and morals of a gentleman, while his influence has inspired designers to gravitate towards more masculine standards while shattering the glass ceiling on male model paychecks.
