The L’Officiel “Feel the Surface” editorial, styled by Marcus Zietz, explored the crossroads between men’s, unisex, and vaguely feminine designs. Heavy beading spruced up chiffon draping and shirts, too, and was paired with unusual pieces like lightweight jackets, button-down shirts, and heavier fabrics. After seeing so many fitted silhouettes, it’s nice to delve into a world where everything’s looser, more comfortable, and ready to be taken on a vacation… or at least worn when lounging.

Breitling has rejuvenated the design of the Superocean, the famous diver’s timepiece it launched in 1957; Breitling had already established itself as the official supplier to world aviation. The Superocean is equipped with an ultra-readable dial, an armored glass and a monohull case watertight to a depth of 200 meters (660 ft) – a remarkable feat at that time. Originally designed to equip professional and military divers, the original model quickly gained a following among enthusiasts in the booming field of leisure diving.

Breitling is now updating the legendary collection by debuting a Superocean with an entirely revamped design. The new dial colors are Abyss Black, Abyss Silver, Abyss Blue, Abyss Red and Abyss Yellow; the watch size remains 42mm. The Superocean collection features a rubber or steel bracelet option, Breitling’s Caliber 17 self-winding movement, over-sized Superluminova hands and hourmarkers and water-resistant to 1,500 m. The Superocean is on display at the annual Baselworld trade show in Switzerland. [via selectism]

A slightly loose fit adds a touch of devil-may-care attitude to a collection of separates with monochromatic leanings. Tighter jeans, a fitted coat, and a three-piece suit are some of their most successful pieces, oozing both low-key appeal and a touch of reckless dressing. Long hair is the perfect accessory.
