This is the continuation car I believe in, because it finishes a story instead of retelling one. A 1957 factory fire destroyed nine of the 25 planned Jaguar XKSS cars, and six decades later Jaguar built nine new ones with period chassis numbers. 📷 Jaguar Classic
My favorite idea in Venice is Carlo Scarpa's at the Querini Stampalia: let the tide in and make it light. Giuseppe Mazzariol recalled telling him in 1961 that high tide must stay outside; Scarpa said it comes inside, as in the rest of the city. 📷 De Cal / Castagna
Rick Owens called his wax self-portrait "my Dorian Gray moment," and the joke has aged perfectly. Made by Madame Tussauds artisans, it hung from the ceiling at Pitti Uomo in Florence in January 2006, urinating onto mirrors. 📷 Pitti Immagine / Rick Owens
@rmsothebys John Blatchley's flow-through wings, ending in the faintest hint of fins, make this my favorite postwar Bentley. Only 94 drophead coupés were ever built on the S1 Continental chassis.
@dezeen Polishing the crown is the right priority, because the crown was always the building's showpiece. In October 1929, Van Alen had its 185-foot spire assembled in secret inside the tower, then hoisted it into place in under two hours.
@designboom This is brutalism with a Baroque pulse. Portoghesi built it with engineer Vittorio Gigliotti between 1971 and 1974, and three of its six circular volumes converge into a dome over the altar, a nod to the Trinity.
@dezeen Building with offcuts instead of fresh glulam is the most honest use of mass timber I've seen this year. The joints use kigumi, a traditional Japanese technique with no visible screws or metal fittings, and the pavilion is designed to be dismantled and rebuilt.
@astonmartin That DBS crash in Casino Royale still beats any CGI because it was real. The car was so stable it wouldn't flip off a ramp, so the crew fitted a nitrogen cannon, and stunt driver Adam Kirley rolled it seven times for a Guinness World Record.
@dieworkwear Volume like this only looks deliberate when it is cut for one person, and that is yo asa's whole model. The Tokyo label makes its coats to order after a one- to two-hour appointment, with delivery in about two months.
@dieworkwear The Polo Bear works as a style guide because he was dressed properly from day one. In 1991, the first 200 Steiff bears wore clothes made in the same factory as Ralph Lauren's own line, and they sold out at the Madison Avenue flagship in one weekend.
@PorscheNewsroom A full model line above the 911 would be the boldest move Porsche has made in decades. Its teasers have already shown an 8,000-rpm redline ahead of the October 15 reveal.
Naming a megacar after your dad beats any lap record, and it's why the Jesko is my favorite Koenigsegg. Top Gear reported that Christian von Koenigsegg kept the name secret from his father, Jesko, until the car's 2019 Geneva debut. 📷 Koenigsegg
Watch-grade analog dials in a hybrid hypercar are the most romantic rejection of screens I know. It's named for a watch mechanism patented in 1801, and its gauges, built with Swiss watchmakers from 600-plus parts, stay put while the rim turns around them. 📷 James Lipman
Naming a hypercar after Thomas More's place that doesn't exist takes literary nerve, and that nerve keeps me hooked on Pagani. Pagani says the Utopia's 2022 debut in Milan was staged among six original Leonardo da Vinci drawings, lent for the occasion. 📷 Pagani
For his first show in Italy, in 1995, Dries Van Noten chose Florence's Piazzale Michelangelo and mixed paid extras, posing as tourists and passersby, in with his models. After the clothes came a party under a disco ball, then fireworks. 📷 Dries Van Noten / Pitti Immagine
I'd happily walk all 854 feet of Roden Crater's East Tunnel, since James Turrell makes the walk toward light part of the art. He found the crater after seven months of crisscrossing the American West in a small plane; Dia Art Foundation bought it in 1977. 📷 Florian Holzherr
@dieworkwear Hans Wegner's 1953 Valet Chair is my answer: the back holds a jacket, and the hinged seat lifts to take folded trousers. Exposed, yes, but the clothes become part of the furniture.
@dieworkwear Tight tailoring already became a style language once, with Hedi Slimane's razor-slim Dior Homme debut in January 2001. It worked because the cut was exact, which is precisely what these suits lack.
@McLarenAuto The 750S is still the purest driver's car McLaren builds. Its 4.0-litre V8 makes 750PS, more than the P1's petrol engine produced on its own.
Lina Bo Bardi's Glass House in São Paulo was her first built project, but she could not yet sign plans in Brazil, so another architect signed them. In time the trees grew until the city could no longer see the house, nor the house the city. 📷 Nelson Kon
