Travelling people by Johannes Leijonberg
“If you walk into a pitch-black room you can´t see a thing. But be patient – the details will emerge gradually. Several layers. Wool. Shiny satin. A collection all in black, where the careful tailoring and attention to detail allude to military clothing – but in daylight they cast a much more feminine shadow. And the collection is for people who travel. A wardrobe to carry on your body.”

Nike Basketball: The Ring Maker
LeBron and the ring maker go way back to the days of Akron afros and high school dunks. When one sliced through the paint, the other carved through wax. Together, their journey has proven that even those destined for greatness have to earn it.

The Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary College Ring
On July 12 in 1962, the then-unknown British rock band The Rolling Stones played their first show at the Marquee Club in London. Fifty years later, the band is still playing to capacity audiences, and is one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed musical acts of all time. To celebrate the band’s golden milestone and coincide with a gala in Tokyo’s Roppongi Hills, its label Universal Music is releasing an anniversary package with a book of never-before-seen photographs, and a commemorative class ring made by the same jewelers tasked with creating championship rings for professional football and Major League Baseball players. The Rolling Stones super-fans can head over to the Universal Music Japan online store to pick up the silver collegiate ring with its inset onyx stone for ¥100,000 JPY (approximately $1,260 USD).
