Maison Margiela Replica “From the Garden” Fragrance
This is the scent of a newly pruned garden in summer. Margiela’s new “From the Garden” fragrance is an uplifting scent that evokes the joyful feeling of reconnecting with nature, hands in the earth — an afternoon spent in the garden. A crisp, sunny afternoon in a blooming garden in Puglia, Italy — hands dug deep in the soil, harvesting tomatoes and the tranquil moment spent amidst lush nature. The scent is created with geraniums and patchouli, which are sourced sustainably and naturally.

Cars
Maserati Folgore Day the Trident
Folgore Day officially marks the brand’s entry into the new electric dimension. Folgore Day is the starting point for Maserati’s luxury consumers to whom the Trident’s electric offer is aimed. This is the continuation of Maserati’s journey of electrification, innovation, luxury and excellence in the best Italian tradition, on which Maserati has embarked in the last year with the launch of its 100 percent electric models: GranTurismo Folgore, the Trident’s first all-electric car; Grecale Folgore, the first SUV powered by a full-electric powertrain; and now, GranCabrio Folgore. Maserati announced in early 2024 that the entire Trident line would be fully electrified by 2028. This was in response to its long-term strategy vision. It included a growth plan focused on sustainability in order to advance the brand in the future.
Automobil Lamborghini
Automobil Lamborghini’s historic logo has been redesigned. This evolution is part of Lamborghini’s new trajectory focused on sustainability and decarbonisation. Lamborghini aims to “create a solid pact with future generations, serving as an inspiration and model for innovation and sustainable progress”. With this in mind, the House of Sant’Agata Bolognese is implementing changes that involve not only the cars, but the corporate identity as a whole, thus impacting the company’s culture and values, which will also see a new expression in terms of all the visual aspects. This revamped version of the logo becomes an integral part of the company’s distinctive identity and will also be applied on future cars. The iconic bull at the center of this logo has also undergone major changes. For the first time, it will exist individually on the company’s digital touchpoints, separated from the classic shield to lend it even greater prominence
Alcohol & Lifestyle

The brand partners with organic growers that rely on the natural world to produce healthy fruit free of synthetic pesticides. Avaline sets the standard in transparency for winemaking with a complete ingredient list, including calorie and carbohydrate information, fat content, sugar content, and protein.
Samsonite
Samsonite’s reputation in the field of sustainable travel luggage and lifestyle bags is well-known. However, Samsonite’s Suntec City store in Singapore is the brand’s first-ever store that offers a sustainable alternative approach and a first of its kind in Asia.
Samsonite’s Suntec City outlet’s external facade is fabricated from recycled aluminium from a supplier known for producing luggage made of recycled aluminium. The cashier counter was made using plastic waste. It is cleaned, shred into flakes, then designed and redesigned. The shelves, made of recycled plastics and designed to resemble the existing laminated sheets and glass sheets, are identical. A first of its kind for the brand in Asia, the store is a testament to Samsonite’s commitment to leading the sustainable transformation of the lifestyle bag and travel luggage industry.
The Samsonite Suntec City store will also be part of Samsonite’s annual Luggage Trade-in campaign. With every successful Luggage Trade-in transaction, SGD10 will be donated to WWF-Singapore’s Earth Hour campaign to build a nature-positive, net-zero carbon, and equitable future.
