The Fall Berlin Fashion Week brings together many creative professionals from the fashion industry. This huge event is held twice annually to discuss and discover new trends. However, sustainable fashion continues to grow in popularity. The truth is, fashion continues to become a disposable commodity. Hence, clothing items are rarely or never worn and then thrown away.

In the last four years, the topic of sustainability has taken center stage. Many young German fashion designers set out to make the fashion world a better place. Especially in Berlin. As a result, the demand for sustainably and fairly produced garments is growing. That’s why Berlin is often called the green fashion capital of Germany. Therefore, the trendy city is a trend-setter in many areas, fashion being one of them.

According to the Fashion Council, Germany is the second largest fashion brand supplier in Europe. Thus, making fashion a relevant economic and cultural asset for Germany. Some of the big German names that have taken the fashion world by storm include Hugo Boss, Adidas, Escada and Joop.

That’s why many German fashion designers have implemented new processes in their work to make their collections more sustainable. Of course, sustainable fashion will be a big focus of the upcoming Berlin Fashion Week. The popular fashion event will take place from September 5th-10th, 2022 in Berlin.

Sustainable fashion is a priority in other German cities as well. Many designers come up with innovative ideas to make their clothes more eco-conscious. For example, the Duesseldorf is the fashion city by the Rhine River. The label Wunderwerk is committed to consider all stages of the supply chain to achieve sustainability that is more than just using organic cotton. Wunderwerk takes a stand against the use of chemicals, toxins, and bleach to preserve the well-being of nature, animals and people.

The Bavarian label ARMEDANGELS has developed a take-back system. For example, it allows customers to send in their old ARMEDANGELS clothes that will be turned into recycled fiber. Then, reinforced with sustainable fiber in the yarn, and thus made into a new clothing item. As a thank you for participating in the recycling process customers receive a 5 € gift card. They introduce new t-shirts with circularity.ID® that come with a smart tag containing digitized information sewn into the sleeve. For instance, consumers can scan the tag with their smartphones and receive information on where the t-shirt was produced and what fabric composition was used.

In the northern German city Lübeck the vegan, fair and sustainable sneaker company Ethletic was founded. Interestingly, it is the first sneaker brand that has the Fairtrade Cotton logo on its products. For example, Ethletic completely rejects air shipments and transports its sneakers exclusively by ship to reduce its carbon footprint. Furthermore, the company makes a one US Dollar donation to the Talon Fairtrade Workers Welfare Society per pair of shoes sold.

Some people are easy to buy for and happy with anything, while others prefer things that are a little more luxurious. If you need to get a perfect luxury present for someone with expensive tastes, you may think you will need to visit a dozen different stores to find the right thing.

But the truth is, you can just as easily find a luxury gifts that you can buy right from the comfort of your own home. With that in mind, this article is going to go over a few ideas for purchasing a perfect luxury present online.

Fashion Accessories

A great option for a luxury gift for your loved one is a new fashion accessory of some kind. These can elevate their look and help give them more confidence. For example, as Real Mens Wallets suggests, you make a statement every time you take out your wallet, so why not make it a good one.

In addition to wallets, there are many other luxurious fashion accessories that you can give such as sunglasses, jewelry, shoes, ties, hats, and dozens of others. You need to take time to find a quality manufacturer, who can provide accessories that not only look good, but also last long.

Of course, if you buy a luxury present online, be sure you know the size and/or measurements for the person you are buying for. Most companies make this easy and often publish the measurements or their different sizes online.

A Cool New Piece of Technology

Everybody loves technology, and most of us use it multiple times a day for a variety of tasks. It is used to entertain ourselves, communicate with others, and so much more. Many people can hardly keep up with new releases, and may not get every type of new technology they want. This is why technology can make a great luxury gift that your friend or family member is sure to love.

This could be one of the many types of smart home technology, a video game console, new parts for their computer, a new phone, headphones, or anything else you think they would be interested in. There is no shortage of options, with new ones coming out regularly.

Something Related to Their Favorite Hobby

Another great option for providing a luxury gift is getting someone something related to their favorite hobby. This could be a high-quality coffee maker, some high-quality rock climbing gear, a new easel and paint, and a nearly endless amount of other things. No matter what types of things a person likes, there is a good chance there are some luxurious products in that industry that they will adore.

Make sure to do some research on which companies are luxury and make the best products. If you are not as involved in the industry, you never want to simply pick something at random, as it might not be very good. Online forums and third-party reviews are a good place to start.

In conclusion, by keeping these ideas in mind, you can be sure to find the perfectly luxury gift idea online.

We hope you enjoyed reading about purchasing a perfect luxury present online. The Life of Luxury has access to a wide variety of luxury goods including: Hermes Birkin bags, luxury watches, vintage cars and more!

Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn has designed a new skiwear collection with HEAD Sportswear.  Lindsey Vonn’s new Legacy collection from HEAD Sportswear

Fusing Lindsey’s style and substance, the stunning silhouettes match the iconic racer’s lines that propelled her to 82 World Cup victories and an Olympic gold medal. The innovative materials and unparalleled workmanship of the Legacy collection make it pure perfection. Together, this cool collaboration blends high-tech materials, and sophistication – the perfect fusion of fashion and function.

Lindsey Vonn is know around the world. A list of successes that could hardly be any longer in skiing. During her successful career, Lindsey Vonn won an Olympic Gold medal, four overall World Cup titles, two world championships gold medals, and 16 Crystal Globes. In addition, she won World Cup races in all disciplines.

Lindsey Vonn’s favorite piece is the Daisy vest “I love the floral print and the pink – it’s very, very cool and stands out on the mountain. But… the coolest part is Lucy [my dog] is on the inside. She’s definitely a bigger star than I am,” she jokes.

Real Down YKK comes from certified and controlled farms and is a waste product of the food industry. It is important to HEAD Sportswear that the animals have been kept in species-appropriate conditions and have not been force-fed. In addition, they should not be plucked alive. To mark this on their products, HEAD Sportswear created the Fair Down Commitment themselves.

Cuddly soft merino-cashmere sweaters (made in a Florentine knitting factory) and silky, shiny bodysuits, created in collaboration with the traditional lingerie brand Wolford, make the unique legacy look possible even off-piste.

Roman Stepek, Vice President Global Head Sportswear states, “The cornerstone of the brand is always sport. But with the Legacy Line, we want to offer a more fashionable approach to HEAD Sportswear that still reflects the brand DNA with highly functional fabrics. In Lindsey Vonn we have found the ideal partner for the Legacy Line. A fascinating skier and extremely stylish athlete at the same time, who in 2017, 2018, and 2019 was among the ‘Fashionable 50’ of Sports Illustrated magazine, the American embodies the two worlds of sport and fashion perfectly.”

Do you want to make a fashion statement? Well put on a pair of “Cosmic Cowboy Boots” by artist by Jack Armstrong. You will be showing off the Most Expensive Boots in the World.

As a renowned American artist around the world, Jack Armstrong is the founder of the revolutionary modern art style named “Cosmic Extensionalism.” Jack Armstrong has actually been painting since he was only 5 years old. At that early age, his artistic talent was obvious.

https://www.thelifeofluxury.com/christmas-2021-cosmic-x-masterpiece-art-sale-6-paintings-600m/

Years later as an adult, he moves to New York City. There he becomes best friends with Andy Warhol. Warhol too saw the talent first hand. Therefore, Andy Warhol acknowledged Armstrong’s talent by giving him the nickname “The Last Wizard.”

So how would you describe the works of eccentric Jack Armstrong? It’s his own unique and unparalleled Cosmic X style. The style is derived from a combination of extreme textures and colors. As a result, words actually appear throughout each painting. The stunning effect is done by viewing his art at different angles. As a nice twist for those who buy his work, you can actually see his bold signature appear in the middle.

A promise Armstrong made is to create just 100 pieces of art in his lifetime. Therefore, each piece has more meaning and he can focus on quality, rather than quantity. The latter often destroys an artist’s career by over saturating the market.

Now it’s time for Jack Armstrong to wow the world once again. “Cosmic Cowboy Boots” is his latest creation. At a whopping $6 million, it becomes the world’s most expensive boots. Jack already owned a perfect pair of 1968 Tony Lama boots. Tony Lama boots have long been a popular brand of boots. Interestingly, the boot brand is favored by many U.S. Presidents and actually worn by President Harry S. Truman. With his own pair of boots, Armstrong painted them and the result is amazing.

The world’s most expensive boots can be yours for $6 million dollars. It’s obviously not for everybody. But art is often described as a commodity with no ceiling on value. As a result, it’s value and beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

“Cosmic X” Experience from Artist Jack Armstrong Comes to Times Square in New York City!
https://www.thelifeofluxury.com/cosmic-x-experience-from-artist-jack-armstrong-comes-to-new-york-city/

In 2010, the craze began when Jack Armstrong created “Cosmic Starship”. This custom Harley Davidson V Rod initially sold for $3 million in Marina Del Rey, California at at Bartel’s Harley-Davidson. Since that sale, it’s once again for sale for a staggering $15 million.

At the Big Boys Toys exhibition, bespoke luxury innovations are available to affluent buyers who live a luxury lifestyle. Items are trendy and a “must have” for those want the best. In 2014 at the Dubai show, Jack Armstrong introduced his “Cosmic Star Cruiser” custom bike for $3 million.

For those interested, the Big Boys Toys (now named Amaze Expo) is scheduled this year in London, from August 17-19, 2018.

Be on the lookout for 2020. Only 2 years away, Jack Armstrong is planning to launch the world’s most expensive automobile. It’s expected to be priced at an eye-popping $100 million.

Do you have something you’ve dreamed of owning?  A piece of art, antique car, fashion product or fine jewelry? Contact us today and use our Shopping Wish List service.

If you are interested in the “Cosmic Cowboy Boots” and owning the world’s most expensive boots, please let us know. We enjoy sharing unique news in the luxury industry. Be sure to follow our blog for the latest announcements.

It’s so versatile—in addition to the gym, I take it on photo shoots, weekend excursions and even to the office.”

Once opened, you’ll quickly notice how spacious it is. There’s a large compartment that comes with two hanging zippered pockets ideal for your valuables. The dimensions of the bag are 17.25 x 10.25 x 11 inches. We love the premium leather handles that include non-slip, rubberized grips underneath for improved holding.

Since the bag is made with distressed waxed canvas material, as it ages it will and look more attractive over time.
