American painter and sculptor <a href="http://www.calder.org/"><span class="s1"><b>Alexander Calder</b></span></a> created a one-of-a-kind car for BMW back in 1975. The 3.0 CSL "Batmobile" GT racer helped launch the auto brand's "Ultimate Driving Machine" campaign message and will soon be on display at <a href="https://www.ameliaconcours.org/"><span class="s1"><b>Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance</b></span></a>.</div>

The colorful auto debuted to the public in May 1975 at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs at the Louvre. "It was an elegant creative alliance of racer and art auctioneer Herve Poulain and American sculptor Alexander Calder, mixed with the foresight of BMW Motorsport chief Jochen Neerpasch," says the Amelia Island Concours. </div>

The highly public love affair of <b>French singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg and British actress Jane Birkin captured the hearts and imaginations of a generation</b>. The moment Jane and Serge met on a movie set in 1968, sparks flew. They would spend the next 12 years together, a passionate union that produced the controversial duet "Je t’aime... moi non plus" (whose explicit lyrics and orgasmic moans caused so much fuss that the Vatican declared it offensive) and, in 1971, the legendary album <i>Melody Nelson</i> as well as a daughter, Charlotte, who has become a successful actress in her own right. From the earliest days of Jane and Serge's romance until their split in 1980, Jane’s brother Andrew Birkin was a frequent presence in their lives; an avid photographer, he snapped thousands of candid family photos during those years. Birkin’s pictures—very few of which have ever been published—offer a rare view of daily life for the couple, bringing us back to a place and time we have long idolized. Though more than 30 years have passed since the two parted ways, and over two decades since Serge parted from this world, the passion for Jane and Serge has endured. <a href="http://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/photography/all/05779/facts.jane_serge_a_family_album.htm">This treasure trove </a>is sure to fan the flames of its undying embers.</div>

Having graduated in architecture, Paolo Mandelli and Luna Scamuzzi founded Lucifer Vir Honestus in 1999, naming the company after the nickname of the first Milanese goldsmith in the fifteenth century. Their single-minded vision was to replicate the standard of the past grandmasters - using only the lost art of wax casting to create their famously and sensuously organic forms in their charming brick-vaulted studio in Milan’s trendy Corso Como.</div>

The Audi Sport quattro laserlight concept is reminiscent of the classic Sport quattro of 1983 while pointing towards the future – with the latest of the brand's technologies in plug-in hybrid drives, user control and display interfaces and lighting technology.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
“The new show car demonstrates technical ‘Vorsprung’ on many levels,” says Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg. “On-board this car we have e-tron technology with 515 kW of power and 2.5 l/100 km (94.09 US mpg) fuel economy; laser headlights that leave all previous systems in the dark with its higher performance as well as new display and operating systems with cutting-edge electronic performance. We are showing the future of Audi here.”</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
The coupe, a new evolutionary stage of the Sport quattro concept, painted in the color Plasma Red, combines the power of the historic Sport quattro with emotional elegance. Its body is tautly set over its large wheels. The overhangs are short, and the car's proportions show a sporty balance. With a wheelbase of 2,784 mm (109.61 in), it is 4,602 mm (181.18 in) long. At a width of 1,964 mm (77.32 in), the two-door model is very wide, and it is just 1,386 mm (54.57 in) tall, which is exceptionally low.</div>

Aesop’s fascination with the arts has this year inspired a series of seasonal gift kits focused on the Italian Futurist movement of the early twentieth century. The six gift kits are presented in sleek, elegant tin boxes, featuring titles and designs that pay homage to ground-breaking Futurist language, art and typography. The contents vary from a convenient set of men’s grooming essentials to a comprehensive hand and body care ensemble, to a trio of full-sized products from Aesop’s anti-oxidant Parsley Seed Skin Care range. An artfully constructed brochure that folds in various configurations accommodates and protects each product, and provides summary details on the movement and its guiding proponents.</div>

At his secluded chateau in the French countryside, a brilliant, obsessive doctor (Pierre Brasseur) attempts a radical plastic surgery to restore the beauty of his daughter’s disfigured countenance—at a horrifying price. <i>Eyes Without a Face,</i> directed by the supremely talented Georges Franju, is rare in horror cinema for its odd mixture of the ghastly and the lyrical, and it has been a major influence on the genre in the decades since its release. There are images here—of terror, of gore, of inexplicable beauty—that once seen are never forgotten.</div>

The Macallan 62 Year Old in Lalique . ‘The Macallan in Lalique V: The Spiritual Home’. They say ‘home is where the heart is’ and that is certainly the case with this decanter inspired by <a href="http://www.themacallan.com/visit/"><span class="s1">Easter Elchies House</span></a> on our Speyside Estate, and the penultimate in our collection. The precious whisky encased in beautifully engraved crystal is an exquisite and very rare 62 years old Macallan single malt whisky, sure to steal hearts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Lalique’s Marc Larminaux interpreted the harled surface applied to the sandstone walls of Easter Elchies House by creating a textured frosted surface on three sides of the decanter. One of the frosted sides features the bold initials, JEG, replicating the initials which are incorporated in the original date stone. These initials belong to Captain John Grant, who oversaw the building of the Jacobean manor house in 1700.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Limited to only 400 individually numbered decanters, the Spiritual Home edition will be highly desired and eagerly anticipated. It is valued at USD$25,000 and available now from specialist whisky retailers. </div>

British-born Campbell, who has appeared on over 300 magazine covers and in countless editorials and advertising campaigns, has worked with the best photographers of the ’80s, ’90s, and today—in looking back over her career this book also revisits <b>a broad selection of the greatest fashion photography of the past quarter century</b>. In two volumes, this <b>signed limited edition</b> captures Campbell’s bold personality and striking beauty in both words and pictures.</div>
