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.

The Life of Luxury offers many of the world’s top luxury brand products. For example, are you looking for authentic Hermes Birkin and Kelly handbags? We have access to a large inventory of new and pre-owned luxury handbags. Plus, we specialize in providing VIP experiences to major events around the world.

Modern artist Jack Armstrong is once again the owner of the most expensive motorcycle in the world!

The Cosmic Starship Harley he sold in 2012 for $3 Million has recently changed hands in a record art sale. Armstrong exchanged his $50 Million Cosmic X Painting titled: Star Key #733 with the family that owned the custom painted Harley Davidson motorcycle.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Jack Armstrong and get his personal reactions to the big news.

The painting’s #733 title has a significant meaning. It is the exact ct. number of the 733ct Black Star Sapphire Of Queensland, which he loaned to Canada’s Largest Museum – The Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. In 2007, the Black Star Sapphire Of Queensland was featured in the grand reopening of the Crystal Addition, which was the biggest event in the museum’s history.

The Black Star Sapphire Of Queensland was exhibited in the American National Gem Collection (Smithsonian Museum) from 1961-1969 and was owned by artist Jack Armstrong from 2002 – 2008. When Armstrong loaned the Black Star Sapphire to the Royal Ontario Museum for their Grand Reopening party in July 2007, the world once again got to see the most famous star sapphire in the world shine like the moon with the most perfect star gem on earth. The sapphire was the star of the show when the most important VIP’s arrived in Canada for the grand opening celebration that lasted a week.

The famous Sapphire was worn by both Priscilla Presley and Cher – on the first season of the “Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour” TV Show.

Armstrong says.“The Cosmic Starship Harley motorcycle is my masterpiece and will either be exhibited to the public once more or will be sold to a public or private museum, or collector. It will allow the public to see this one-off piece of motorcycle art history.”

Armstrong was quoted, “My motorcycle is now officially the Most Valuable Bike in the world. I don’t want it to be stored any longer in a vault and would like to see it reappear in a public or private collection. Similar to my friend Andy Warhol, it truly is my Campbell’s Soup Can.”

Paul Jayson is a well-known and highly respected UK Motorcycle historian, curator and restoration expert. He states, “The Armstrong ‘Starship’ Harley is simply the finest art motorcycle ever made.”
The Motorcycle As Art – The Motorcycle Broker

The Cosmic Starship Harley had been stored in a climate-controlled vault for 10 years and has not been seen by the public since it’s 2010 World Premiere event in L.A., California. Attended by many celebrities, this amazing event was covered by the International Press. Jack Armstrong and actor Lorenzo Lamas were both filmed on the motorcycle at the legendary Bartels Harley Davidson. Jack also talks about Andy in the below video.

Armstrong says he feels a bit like Leonardo da Vinci, who travelled with his own “Mona Lisa” painting his entire life. Armstrong states, “Some things change your life. This Starship Motorcycle is like a part of my family. It’s the most iconic motorcycle in art history and I will now search for the right setting to display it. I want to share it with the art and museum world once again.”

Jack Armstrong – The Most Expensive Harley Davidson Motorcycle 10-Year Anniversary

Many in the art world believe Jack’s Cosmic Starship Harley motorcycle is a singular art masterwork. It stands alongside his other masterpieces: Warhol Naked, Cosmic X Paradigm and The Last Wizard as the most important works in “Cosmic X” art.

Armstrong says, “It seems amazing that I told Warhol in the 1980’s when I rode him on the back of my 1000 Harley Sportster in New York City that one day, I would create the world’s most valuable art motorcycle. Andy not only thought it was a great idea, but I actually saw him creating motorcycles in his Last Supper Exhibition for Rome just before he died.”

Jack continues, “It was possible that after all our rides together, Andy started painting motorcycles. 25 years later, when I was being photographed by the world press in L.A. I thought of my friend Andy and my old Harley and smiled for the cameras.”

Warhol was driven in his own Rolls Royce by Mick Jagger, Liza Minelli and Imelda Marcos. But Armstrong believes Andy riding on Jack’s 1980 Harley Davidson were the only times, Warhol ever rode on a motorcycle in New York City.

Jack Armstrong feels the same way about the Cosmic Starship Motorcycle as he did with the famous sapphire. Saying “It needs to be seen so it can cosmically change the way people feel. As they view it, the motorcycle comes to life in extreme colors that make the mind bend. It changes their own reality in ways that only the viewer can describe after seeing this motorcycle live and in color on exhibit. I feel it’s an unforgettable experience in motorcycle and art history.”

Armstrong continues, “The person who will collect it and curate it in the future, can build a car or motorcycle collection around it. Or center it in any renowned art collection and watch it virtually steal the show, no matter what priceless paintings surround it. My Cosmic Starship Harley will become the ultimate conversation piece, when anyone who loves art enters its orbit.”

For Armstrong to trade one of his favorite paintings for possibly his favorite creation, is nothing new for the rebel artist. Jack states, “I created this motorcycle to be seen. The only way for that to happen was to remove it from its hidden existence. Let it shine again on the world stage, where it will occupy a place in the art and museum world like no other motorcycle can.”

Armstrong channels all his 100 rare, original paintings and the Cosmic Starship Harley motorcycle (a 2009 Harley Davidson V-Rod) from Universal Transcendence. He lets the object he’s painting to virtually come to life, by simply allowing the universe to flow through himself as the creation takes place. Oneness is the unique state of being that Armstrong says is not ‘only the ‘center’ of his talent but is also the metaphysical state of creation that created the stars.

The current, luxury car market has been hot. Car prices have also risen sharply over the last year. Why? There are two key factors. First, the continued high demand for cars. Secondly, there is limited car inventory. As a result, prices for both new and used cars simply keep rising. Basic theory of supply and demand.

The world continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Around the world, consumers are dealing with supply chain disruptions, plus high inflation rates. Also, the war in Ukraine is another factor. Both energy and food supply chains are being disrupted. Regardless of all this, new luxury car sales are strong.

Wealthy Consumers Will Drive Luxury Car Market Sales

It’s estimated that the growth in car sales above $80,000 will be between 8-14% annually through 2031. Although the under $80,000 market is expected to be basically flat to minimal growth through 2031.

What is driving the luxury car demand? The main reason is the increase of ultra-high-net-worth individuals or UHNWI and high-net-worth individuals or HNWI. The world continues to see more and more millionaires and billionaires. Plus, both the Middle East and Asia have strong luxury car sales. It’s no longer just the U.S. and Europe. Thus, new regional demand equals a jump in overall global demand.

Price Range: Higher Price Vehicles Will See Stronger Growth

The higher-end price range will see increasing growth. Additional luxury car introductions will drive up demand. As a result, consumers will have more buying options, including luxury car upgrades.

New Luxury Car Market Shift to Electric

Another factor is the shift toward electric vehicles. The high-end market will see more luxury EV’s that will stimulate increasing year-over-year growth. Over the next decade, expect battery-electric vehicles to be dominant.

Although the segment will see rapid growth, some mainstream luxury brands will not jump into the market for several years. Plus, expect SUVs to dominate the luxury-EV market. The popularity of driving a luxury SUV has never been higher.

Global Reach of Luxury Cars

China continues to gain momentum in the luxury car marketplace. Analysts expect the Asia–Pacific region to have the highest growth rate. This factor is due to the increase in ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWI) and high-net-worth individuals (HNWI).

Chinese Consumers Needs Are Different

For years, global luxury car consumers prefer styling, high quality and craftsmanship. Yet Chinese car buyers lean more toward technology. They prefer smart technology over traditional features. Car makers will need to target their marketing messaging.

Building a 21st-century luxury-car brand

Customer expectations for luxury cars are evolving quickly. As global luxury brands continue to push the limits, automotive companies need to follow suit. It’s simple – fall behind and you lose. Consumers want the best. Many buyers simply desire a blend of seamless customer experiences.

Most established luxury car brands make unique claims. For example, they focus on individual luxury, performance, or both. Thus, uniqueness, prestige, artistry, exclusivity, craftsmanship are key brand identifiers. To set themselves apart, expect to see big dollar marketing campaigns that differentiate technology.

Personalization Will Be Key

As social preferences change, today’s consumers desire personalization. Customization will increasingly be desired by new luxury car buyers. More feature choices will allow buyers to get their prefect car.

Watch, Listen, Learn

Clearly, new luxury car companies can learn from brands in other industries. Sustainability continues to be a buzzword. How can the automakers respond?

First, they need global consistency. Standardize the brand, but provide custom local options such as color schemes, connectivity and other tech options. Invest in online tools to allow the buyer to view and customize all car options.

Ultra-high-net-worth Consumer Segment Growing

The number of UHNWIs is expected to increase worldwide by about 5% between 2021 to 2026. This market has a lot of equity to buy what they want. It should be a key target for all luxury car makers.

In conclusion, so who will ultimately win? Which new luxury car brands will survive or fail? In this race, the player that cracks the code on satisfying the most individuals in the luxury-car market the best wins. Be nimble, do your marketing and provide cars the consumers actually want. Don’t do the opposite and try to sell what you think they want. Rarely ends in success

The Life of Luxury has relationship all around the world. We can offer the best pre-owned classic or vintage cars. In addition, we can offer rare, hard to find luxury cars and supercars. Contact us to get started.

We hope you enjoyed reading about the upcoming trends and challenges in the new luxury car market. It will be fascinating to see who the ultimate winners are.

Looking for a sports watch with a flying tourbillon? Angelus Introduces a new Gold & Carbon Flying Tourbillon watch.

This limited edition of 18 pieces is housed within a sharp new 42.5 mm diameter case in carbon composite and red gold. The Angelus sports watch with a flying tourbillon features a A-250 caliber. Thus, it gives the luxury watch a three-dimensional skeletonized look. In addition, the array of bridges in relief, offer a graphic arrangement. As a result, it is much like the horological performance of this Angelus tourbillon.

Angelus was found in 1891 in Switzerland. The luxury watch brand is widely recognized by watchmaking connoisseurs as one of the most influential horological manufactures of the 20th century. The watch company’s pioneering, house-made movements and vintage timepieces are desired by fine watch collectors around the world.

Stylish Case

Leading a new generation of Angelus cases is e Gold & Carbon Flying Tourbillon. It is sleek with dynamic lines. Therefore, befitting of the extreme technicality of this supremely graphic timepiece. The red gold crown has wide notches and protected by an asymmetrical guard projecting from the lugs.

Caliber

Meanwhile, the A-250 skeletonized flying tourbillon caliber is surrounded by an ultra-rigid and ultralight carbon composite container. It is held within an 18K 5N red gold case middle. Alos, it reveals another kind of skeletonization. The Gold & Carbon Flying Tourbillon comes with a black ballistic-style rubber strap. It features an interchangeable system and red gold and titanium folding clasp.

Depth

The Gold & Carbon Flying Tourbillon has no dial. Although it does have a flange. Thus, it marks the transition between bezel and watch interior. It then graduates with sets of five increments. For example, each is separated by three-dimensional white gold hour-markers. Thes are filled with a luminescent substance. Because the flange is level with the bezel, it creates a sunken effect. As a result, it accentuates the feeling of depth in the A-250 calibre.

Contrast

The bridges of the Gold & Carbon Flying Tourbillon form its face. Without a dial, these components play an expressive role in any skeleton movement. The main plate of the A-250 calibre is black and made from woven carbon composite. So it nicely accentuates the contrasting 18K red gold bridges.

Stunning Display

Definitely, the Lamborghini Espada is one of Lamborghini’s most unique automobiles. Now you can own a 1974 Pink Lamborghini Espada. The Espada was built between 1968 to 1978 and designed by Marcello Gandini, from the Italian automobile company – Bertone. The 4-seat grand touring coupe drew inspiration from the Lamborghini Marzal and Bertone Pirana, two concept cars that he built in 1967.

The Espada was available in three different series. It was powered by a 3.9L V12 and paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or an optional 3-speed automatic transmission. The Lamborghini Espada’s engine put out either 325 hp or 350 hp.

Lamborghini Espada Series III

The Lamborghini Espada Series III featured a redesigned aluminum-trimmed instrument panel. Plus, five-stud wheels instead of knock-offs, a square mesh grille, new taillights, and an optional sunroof. The Series III cars saw US-required changes starting in 1975. Those include large impact bumpers, a secondary air injection pump. As well as specially-tuned carburetors and ignition system. A total of only 1,217 Espadas were ever produced in the model’s ten-year lifespan.

The 1974 Pink Lamborghini Espada Chassis #9612, is a two-owner example of a Series III Espada. It has a strikingly unique pink paint job. The white Connolly leather interior contrasts by pink Wilton wool carpets and 15” five-lug Campagnolo wheels. This stunning luxury car was initially green and was sold by Grossman Motor Car Corp. in West Nyack, New York.

The window sticker shows it being delivered with power steering and an automatic transmission as options. However, this appears to be a clerical error as we have confirmed with the original owner that the car was never fitted with an automatic transmission and was delivered new with the 5-Speed manual transmission.

Original Car Owner

The original owner, Lorrie Stern, received the Espada from her husband, Stanley. The two are huge fans of Italian cars and would frequently window shop at Bob Grossman’s dealership in Nyack, N.Y. The Espada, then wearing its factory green color, was one of the cars the couple eyed whenever they passed by.

After a few trips, her husband agreed to buy it as a Christmas present. The couple traded Ms. Stern’s Fiat 124 Spider in for the wedge-shaped Bertone Lamborghini supercar. Sadly, the odometer stopped working once it hit 98,800 miles. But Ms. Stern says it crossed the 100,000 miles mark long ago. It likely has just over 110,000 miles.

Pink Lamborghini

Ms. Stern gave the Pink Lamborghini Espada its signature pink coat in 1979. The pink color matched the kitchen in her Long Island home. In addition, she also believed better showed off the car’s body lines.

So why is the stunning 1974 Pink Lamborghini Espada so special? The car was owned for almost 40 years. Of course, the groovy pink color. Lastly, this luxury car features a re-built engine by a noted specialist. The overall condition of the car is very nice. It has obviously always been stored well and looked after.

Although well-driven, the car was taken care. Lamborghini’s 4-seat grand tourer comes with a freshly rebuilt, screaming V12 engine. This 1970’s icon will bring its future owner as much excitement as comfort. For example, the unique paint job and backstory earned it numerous features on news websites like The Drive, MotorTrend, and even The New York Times. In conclusion, all of these details make this Espada a certified head-turner at any classic car event or simply rolling down the boulevard in style.

Upon purchase, the new Pink Lamborghini Espada owner will receive spare floor mats, the original toolkit, jack and original manual. As well as the car’s custom New York license plates and numerous service records.
