The Cybertruck

Enthusiastically endorsed by Elon Musk, the visionary CEO of Tesla, as “the coolest car [he’s] ever seen”, having “more utility than a truck” and being “faster than a sports car”, the Tesla Cybertruck has made its highly anticipated public debut.

While the Cybertruck initially captured widespread attention due to its distinctive exterior—different from other trucks with its sharp edges and pronounced angles, as if coming straight from a sci-fi movie scene—its true groundbreaking attribute arguably lies in its performance capabilities. Musk, renowned for his audacious proclamations and steadfast commitment to the ventures he pursues, positioned the truck as a flagbearer of the electric vehicle revolution.

Integrated 120V and 240V outlets in both the bed and cabin allow to charge any electric vehicle or operate tools. During a grid outage, Cybetruck can provide up to 11.5 kW of power directly to your home to keep essential appliances running.

Fast-charging your phone, laptop, or tools is possible from the front seat, back seat, or bed with wireless charging, 65W USB-C, and 120V/240V outlets.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Arcadia Droptail

“The Rolls-Royce Arcadia Droptail wonderfully demonstrates the true nature of a Coachbuild proposition in completely transforming the character of a motor car.” Anders Warming, Design Director, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

An exquisite coachbuilt expression of tranquillity, Arcadia Droptail is the epitome of quiet irreverence, celebrating the purity of form and natural materials. Commissioned by an individual who possesses a distinct affinity for architecture and design, Arcadia Droptail is a testimony to the patron’s sensibilities and personal codes of luxury, defined by purity and subtle restraint, reflecting their firm belief in distilling complexity to reveal the inherent, fundamental essence.

Santos Straight Grain is used throughout Droptail, including the aerodynamically functional rear deck section, where the grain of the open pore veneer is laid at a perfect 55° angle. To achieve a perfect composition over complex geometry, artisans used 233 wood pieces throughout Arcadia, with 76 pieces applied to the rear deck alone. A bespoke lacquer for the exterior wood surfaces was developed; it requires just one application for the lifetime of the motor car.

“Cotton Candy Express | A Pink Paradise Journey through the Japanese Alps” by Harshdeep Arora

An architect by trade, Harshdeep Arora started experimenting with generative AI as soon as it became available. He envisions that AI-generated art will redefine concepts of authorship and unlock new depths of artistic expression. Through well-trained AI, intricate designs with surprisingly detailed scenes are now being created, showcasing new dimensions of creativity.

The art industry stands at the cusp of a potentially pivotal juncture, as the advent of AI technology

holds the promise of fundamentally revolutionizing the way it currently operates.

Training AI for artistic purposes requires employing advanced deep-learning techniques alongside extensive datasets of artistic content. Through training, models are taught to identify patterns, styles, and visual components from established artworks. By amalgamating these acquired features, AI can create art, often using generative adversarial networks (GANs) or similar generative models. An average user may not need to train their own personal model due to the extensive GPU processing required. Leveraging and combining different pre-existing models can achieve excellent results.

Often drawing inspiration from European art, especially the Baroque and Art Nouveau, Arora works with established models on Stable Diffusion and Midjourney, integrating LORAs as needed to achieve specific aesthetic goals in various projects. To foster uniqueness, the artist introduces elements of randomness into the training data, particularly during the initial testing phase.

“Cotton Candy Express | A Pink Paradise Journey through the Japanese Alps” series, one of many in Arora’s portfolio, combines all his favorite subjects: architecture, nature, abstract concepts, and futurism.

CELINE HOMME

presents a campaign that captures the essence of classic sophistication through Hedi Slimane’s lens. Blake Richardson took part in the Portrait of an Actor series, gracefully embracing the timeless allure of a subtle monochromatic palette. The imagery, stark in its black-and-white simplicity, allows the intricate details of each piece to be a focal point.

Texture takes center stage in this tale, with the leather biker jacket imbuing a rebellious aura that harmonizes perfectly with the collection’s polished allure. The classic black tie ensemble reimagines convention, offering a contemporary spin on formality that is simultaneously bold yet understated.

Each impeccably tailored piece contours the body flawlessly, showcasing Celine’s contemporary craftsmanship and precision in design. The accessories, particularly the sunglasses, inject a modern edge that elevates Richardson’s sleek presence.

The advertisement celebrates Celine’s refined aesthetic, prioritizing the purity of form and material over fleeting seasonal fads. Slimane’s vision for Celine Homme is unmistakable: to craft a wardrobe that reflects the intricacies of modern life while remaining true to the brand’s legacy of sophistication.

“My journey in fashion has definitely grown, having worked with the brand and going out of my comfort zone a little bit. There’s been a few pieces that I wouldn’t usually touch, and now I put on a tight pair of jeans, a cool boot, and a leather jacket, and I’m like ‘this is a rockstar’,” explained Richardson in the interview to Vman when asked to describe his personal relation with fashion.

Admitting that he was always “very drawn to how suits used to fit back in the day, even in the 20s and ‘30s”, Richardson is describing his current style as timeless, giving credit to Celine.

“They’ve really opened my eyes to a lot, as well. When I was on my own, picking out little pieces from vintage shops and stuff, [my style] was a bit all over the place and they’ve shown me how you can combine different style eras into one.”

Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge
Model: Rolls-Royce Cullinan
Cargo volume: 600 L, 1,930 L with seat area
Engine cylinder configuration: V engine
Dimensions: 5,341 mm L x 2,164 mm W x 1,835 mm H
Number of doors: 5
Driveline: Four-wheel drive
Engine: 6.7 L V12

The Cullinan Black Badge is defined by its exterior; the Spirit of Ecstasy mascot is presented in high gloss black chrome and, for the first time, this finish extends onto its mounting plate, creating the darkest Black Badge yet. The ‘Double R’ badge on the front, flanks and aft invert to become silver-on-black, while chrome surfaces such as the front grille surround, side frame finishers, boot handle, boot trim, lower air inlet finisher and exhaust pipes are darkened. Cullinan’s imposing proportions and confident stance are dramatised by all-new 22-inch forged alloy wheels, reserved exclusively for Black Badge Cullinan.

The interior borrows a Sir Henry Royce philosophy – "when it does not exist, design it" – with the introduction of a brand new Technical Carbon veneer. This naked-weave carbon-fibre finish has been developed to create highly accurate repeating geometrical shapes that produce a powerful three-dimensional effect. Each leaf of Technical Carbon is finished with six coats of lacquer before being left to cure for 72 hours then hand-polished to Rolls-Royce’s hallmark mirror finish. This process takes 21 days.
