The Rimac Concept One is further proof you can achieve ludicrous acceleration on four wheels without burning a drop of gasoline. The Croatian automaker claims the electric hypercar can zap to 100 kilometres per hour (62 miles per hour) from a standstill in a mere 2.6 seconds. Any company can make a promise about its vehicle, though. In a video, Rimac shows that the acceleration figure is quite realistic.
With no introduction, the stationary Rimac Concept One blasts to 120 km/h (75 mph) in just a couple of seconds in this clip. We then get to see it launch from the outside, and there’s a short yelp as the tires scramble for traction. According to company CEO Mate Rimac in a comment to this video, the automaker is still working to improve the electric hypercar. With the right road surface and tire temperature, “2.4 seconds is also possible”, he writes.
Rimac unveiled the production version of the Concept One at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. The coupe has four electric motors – two on each axle. The total output is 1,088 horsepower and 1,180 pound-feet of torque. A torque-vectoring all-wheel drive system makes sure so much power actually makes it to the road. An 82 kilowatt-hour battery also gives drivers a range of 330 km (205 miles).
Rimac plans to make just eight units of the Rimac Concept One for approximately $1,070,000 (€742,000) each. But the company is already hard at work on its next project. The Concept S has 1,384 horsepower and a body that produces 34 percent more downforce that its predecessor.

Sand beige and light grey. These are the two dominant colours of the new Wide Line released by Modus Vivendi, part of the brand’s extensive spring-summer 2016 collection.
The stunning campaign images of Modus Vivendi’s Wide Line were captured in rural Australia by one of the best Australian photographers, Russell Fleming.
Well known for its natural beauty, a location near Brisbane was chosen by the photographer as a backdrop for his session with model Daniel Kairouz.
Fleming produced a shoot full of masculinity which ideally suits this line. The fantastic behind the scenes video was filmed and edited by talented Cullum Stege.
This line comprises masculine underwear designs in three styles, tanktops and a unique multi-shirt! The underwear comes in briefs, boxer-briefs and jockstraps featuring striped and solid, earth tone panels, shiny waistbands and a supreme quality, viscose blend fabric.
The tanktops have a Modus Vivendi classic muscle tanktop cut and feature a striped front and a solid colour, t-shaped back.
The multi-shirt of this line is a unique, fashion forward creation by Christos Bibitsos of an all weather men’s shirt. It comes with extra pairs of sleeves which you can attach to the neck to transform it from a sleeveless to a short or long sleeve shirt. It’s pretty amazing!

Louis Vuitton has unveiled a new collection of rolling luggage created in collaboration with Australian designer Marc Newson. Amazingly lightweight and sturdy, the new Louis Vuitton luggage is expressly designed for the 21st century traveler.
Marc Newson
Australia’s most lauded design export, Marc Newson, has again collaborated with Louis Vuitton on a range of rolling Luggage that marries the designer’s signature predilection for curvilinear forms and bold colours with the ‘Art of Travel’ ethos that underpins the storied French house
I feel that I am in many ways kind of uniquely placed to be able to do that, as a consumer more so than a designer
Marc Newson
Marc Newson’s designs, 18 months in development, eventuated in an increased internal volume of 15%
What compelled me to join forces with Louis Vuitton was the challenge to design a great piece of Luggage, because like a lot of people, I travel a lot
Marc Newson
Dropping in stores from July 15 and online from September 30, Vuitton and Newson’s rolling trunks were 18 months in the making and are a surefire sign that haute hand Luggage has reached its zenith. Each piece boast, per Vuitton, ‘a new type of self-reinforced polypropylene composite, essentially representing the structure of the trunk, moulded in a mesh matrix of several layers’, – meaning he cases are both light and able to withstand the rigours of travel.
The Louis Vuitton x Newson trunk will be availble in the signature Monogram Canvas, Monogram Eclipse, Damier check print, Graphite, Taiga leather and in natural cowhide leather that comes in seven colors of Epi leather.
Other innovattions include ‘a transversal side hinge’ that allows for a complete 180 degree opening; a three-diget TSA approved combination lock to secure your invaluable assets and a single zip – all in the name of reducing weight and streamlining your time in transit, and all of wich are patent pending.
I think it’s safe to say that we’re striving to break new ground in terms of developing a product which is one of the lightest on the market, and from a technical perspective is one of the most rigorously designed and engineerd
Marc Newson
Alongside the classic monographed models, Newson’s of New Rolling Luggage includes bright orange, pink and blue versions with only minimal logos.
The four-wheeled suitcases – which come in mini, cabin and maxi sizes – feature extendable handles that retract into the outside edge of the trunks, so as not to interfere with packing space.
The smallest of the lightweight bags in the collection weight just 2.9 kilograms, but its internal space is 13 per cent larger than similar bags.
A side handle for carrying and a padlock system have also been built into the side of the trunk.
Australian designer Marc Newson has reinvented Louis Vuitton iconic trunks, making them lighter and more spacious on the inside (+ slideshow).
Newson has previously worked with Vuitton on the creation of a leather and shearling backpack ‘Celebrating Monogram’.
It’s the stuff models and make-up artists swear by, and have been around for a good century. The Micellar Water first shot to fame in France, during a time where the region battled with a notoriously harsh water supply, the miracle of Micelles comes from the way they remove the skin’s impurities without drying it out.
La Mer’s The Cleansing Micellar Water takes the age-old Micellar technology miles ahead with injections of signature marine nutrients and their famed Miracle Broth’s healing benefits, in a stellar concoction that combines the best of both worlds. Adding to the lush vibe of the pristine sea, from which it draws inspiration, unleashing a light, transparent freshness as it sweeps away impurities and micro-emulsifies makeup. The grime, dirt and oil it clings on to dissolves, leaving behind a beautiful, hydrated glow.
The potent and pure Cleansing Micellar Water doesn’t just provide a moment’s worth of powerful cleansing. Rather, one can be certain to enjoy both instant and long-term skin benefits in these unique cleansing structures, since it’s been engineered with new Marine Micellar Waters.
The skin eventually exhibits a healthy, luminous glow, which continues to strengthen and renew thanks to the time-progressive efforts of negatively charged water molecules, which moves deeper into the skin’s surface, delivering restorative sea minerals.
No rinsing is needed, as the skin is instantly and completely cleansed with purifying algae infusion, where positively-charged water molecules micro-emulsify impurities (women use it even for waterproof makeup).
Officially the most succesfull Italian designer ever (his fortune is estimated over $8.5 billion!), Signor Giorgio Armani celebrates his 82th birthday today (born 11th July 1934).
Particularly noted for his menswear. He is known today for his clean, tailored lines. He formed his company, Armani, in 1975, and by 2001 was acclaimed as the most successful designer that Italy has produced, with an annual turnover of $1.6 billion and a personal fortune of $8.5 billion as of 2013. He is credited with pioneering red-carpet fashion.
As famous for underpants, watches and accessories as for his sharp suits, his has been the style of choice for generations of stars of music, sport and the silver screen, politicians, dignitaries and even the Milanese police force.
He was born in the northern Italian town of Piacenza, of Armenian and Italian descent. After military service as a young man, he became a window dresser at La Rinascente department store in Milan.
Having worked on a freelance basis for myriad designers including Zegna, Cerruti and Loewe, the first pieces he designed under his own name were a series of leather bomber jackets in 1970.
While building his fashion empire, he also designed costumes for more than one hundred films including American Gigolo and The Untouchables
When in 1975 he brought out a womenswear line using men’s fabrics, he set the wheels in motion for the ‘power dressing’ look that became synonymous with the 80s.
Among his many commissions, he designed the costume worn by Spanish bullfighter Cayetano Rivera Ordóñez, the suits for the England football team (twice), and the cover of a book of gospels for the Pope.
