Words: Jemima Wilson
This week’s Editor’s Picks will help you feel refreshed and revitalised – whether it’s a crisp shirt from Emma Willis added to your wardrobe, a new hydrating serum by Heath incorporated into your skincare routine, or an invigorating day out at sea on Wajer’s smart-connected speedboat. See our picks below…
Face value: Piaget Polo Date Blue (G0A47017)
Piaget created the original Piaget Polo in 1979 as a sophisticated watch for everyday use, and it became synonymous with style, casual elegance and freedom. This spirit lives on in the Piaget Polo Date Ecom Exclusive, Piaget’s latest unisex design and revival of a classic, which features a self-interchangeable blue calf strap and folding buckle, as well as the signature round bezel and cushion dial.
In short: Mr Marvis Short Cords Gazettes
Designed in Amsterdam and made in Portugal by small-scale, family-owned production partners, Mr Marvis’s ribbed corduroy Gazettes are ideal for warm days in the sun. The airy fabric allows for greater breathability, and the elasticated waistband, handy hidden zip pocket and adjustable drawstrings are just some of the details that make these summertime essentials exceptionally comfortable and practical.
Green light: Polestar 4
The second electric SUV in Polestar’s line-up is the brand’s fastest production car to date, achieving a 0–62mph sprint in just 3.8 seconds, with a maximum power output of 400kW (544hp). The standard full-length glass roof is available with optional electrochromic functionality for an opaque or transparent effect, and the car’s sharp steering and handling responses result in a thrilling, nimble driving experience.
Off the cuff: Emma Willis Aqua Linen Herringbone Shirt
Emma Willis always has a standout in her seasonal shirt collection, and this summer it’s the herringbone weave linen from her favourite Italian linen mill, washed in aloe vera for the softest finish. This striking creation in aqua is cut and sewn in Gloucester using the highest virtues of shirtmaking, including single-needle stitching, and is finished with real mother of pearl buttons. It’s also available in a selection of other colourful hues.
In the bag: Dunhill 1893 Harness Backpack
New for Spring/Summer 2023, Dunhill’s black leather backpack features design details referencing the label’s origins in saddlery and fine-leather work. Crafted from soft calfskin with understated silver-finish hardware, the piece has adjustable shoulder straps and a top handle, as well as a padded internal laptop compartment and secure front flap pocket. Perfect for business or leisure.
Back to basics: Dr Sebagh Essentials Kit
Going between his clinics in Paris and London, Dr Sebagh takes a science-led approach and is renowned as an innovator in the world of ‘ageing maintenance.’ This Essentials Kit was designed to be a staple of your bathroom cabinet or on-the-go bag. Presented in a signature Dr Sebagh pouch, it can be used for a post-workout refresh or popped in your carry-on for weekend trips.
Smart set: Wajer 44
A harmonious balance between style, sportiness and comfort, the new Wajer 44 is completely focused on the ‘smart boating’ concept. Notably, the Wajer’s owner’s app allows you to connect to the Wajer 44 remotely if, for example, you want to check the anchor position of the yacht while having lunch on the beach, or if you fancy preparing the air conditioning and getting the hydraulic swimming ladder ready for when hopping on board.
Show your stripes: 100 Hands Wide Navy Stripe Supima Poplin Gold Line
There’s nothing like the feel of putting on a new, crisp shirt to get your day off to the best start. Especially one that’s been made to order. Bold yet sophisticated, this wide navy stripe design can be styled with all types of suits and sports jackets, and is made out of ultra luxurious Supima fabric.
Against the elements: Heath Protect Serum
For the ultimate skin defence, Heath’s new concentrated serum is specially created for daily use to keep skin hydrated and protected. Formulated with Pollustop – a patented ingredient that shields the skin against harmful aggressors, such as pollution and harsh elements – it restores the skin’s microbiome and provides intense moisturisation for maintaining healthy and youthful complexions.
