Most Expensive Car 2018

All eyes are on Milan these days as the city hosts another installment of its long-revered Fashion Week. And if this year is anything like the last, it will be chock-full of spectacular fashion moments to remember. (Fashionistas will recall the revelry of 2017’s headline-making shows, from Versace’s resurrection of the iconic ’90s supermodel catwalk to a nostalgic soundtrack of George Michael’s “Freedom! ’90” to Prada’s artistic ode to the modern feminist movement.) While Fashion Week certainly keeps Milan on the map of worldwide style hubs, it is the Italian city’s hotels that keep it de rigueur 365 days a year. Whether you’re a Fashion Week regular or a fashionable visitor during any other season, these are the most stylish places to stay while in town. Bulgari Hotel Milano Aperitivo hour at the Bulgari Hotel Milano ’s garden bar isn’t all that different from having a front-row seat at one of the most coveted shows on the city’s Fashion Week schedule.

Nicolas is the son of renowned clothier Bijan Pakzad and namesake of the House of Bijan, the super exclusive and luxurious boutique on Rodeo Drive. The high-end brand was founded in 1976 by Bijan and his longtime friend Dar Mahboubi. Thirtysix years later, the House of Bijan is known as the most expensive store in the world and is a legacy in the luxury market. And it’s Nicolas’ job to continue that legacy. He joined the brand when he was just 16 and, after the passing of his father last year, began taking on more responsibilities to ensure that the House of Bijan remains a fixture in the luxury market. “When I started working with my father I was in high school,” Nicolas said. “After watching him work, slowly my attention started to grow at the company and the industry as a whole. Slowly but surely it turned into a very big passion of mine and obviously that was something that he and I shared.” Growing up, Bijan was not only a father to Nicolas, but also a mentor. He instilled impor...

If you want to live like Princess Grace of Monaco, you’re in luck: the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo has unveiled a Euros 40.000 ($50,000) per night suite in her honor… and it features a few of her favorite things. All of the floral decorations in the suite are inspired by the personal tastes of the late actress Grace Kelly, who became a princess in 1956 after marrying Prince Rainier III. The terrace is enhanced with Grace roses, which have a delicious and warm fragrance of tea rose and a subtle apricot color; it also offers a stunning view of the Palace. The 3,000 square foot suite rests over two floors (the seventh and eight floors) of Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo and offers a 180° view of the Mediterranean. With elegant curves and minimalist lines, the Princess Grace Suite emphasizes contemporaneity, transparency and the nobility of the materials such as glass, precious wood, straw marquetry, mother-of-peal and agate panels for the interiors. There’s also a heated infinity poo,l which op...

This week Jaguar announced the beginning of a new era for the iconic Jaguar D-type race car. More than 60 years after the last of these racing cars was built, Jaguar is restarting its production with 25 cars set to be hand-built at the Jaguar Land Rover Classic Works in Warwickshire, UK. When Jaguar set out to build the D-type in 1955, they planned to build 100 models, but as only 75 of these were completed, Jaguar Classic is now fulfilling the company’s original ambition by building 25 more. While the prototype of these D-types was unveiled on February 7th at the Salon Retromobile show in Paris, the 25 new racing cars will be made according to client preference with both Shortnose and Longnose derivatives on the cards. The research of Jaguar Classic experts and their exclusive access to the original records will ensure each new D-type is built to the precise specifications set by the competitions manager Loft England and his engineers in the ‘50s. Clients can choose between the bodywo...
