A Most Decadent Dial
Father Time never looked so fine.  The latest in luxury from the house of Chanel, the new J12 Pink Gold Chronograph will be available this fall for eager clients that covet the double C’s.  Thoughts of Chanel invariably invoke images of enduring elegance and impeccable quality.  With a design that is opulent yet orderly; minimalist yet mesmerizing, this sleek little statement-maker transcends all boundaries of time.  What divine irony.

A dial adorned with 264 diamonds is sumptuously surrounded by a watchcase in 18k pink gold and a bezel set with 36 baguette-cut pink sapphires.  With limited production of only 100 pieces, the richness of its design will be confined to a restricted few.  Beyond breathtaking. Classically Chanel: J12 Chronograph in Pink Gold, priced at $8,750.

Bright and Beamon
You’re justifiably jaded by ordinary ornamentation.  Enchant thyself with Erickson Beamon.  As hometown friends from Detroit and former socialites of the infamous New York "Studio 54" scene, Karen Erickson and Vicki Beamon are the generators of gemstones with a truly luxe lineage.  With the innovative usage of semi precious stones and the meticulous managing of the tiniest of crystals, Beamon and Erickson have carved quite a non-negotiable niche during their 23 years in the business. 

The decadence debuts in Dallas this fall as part of LFT’s new accessories collection.  There’s no finer a find than their semi-precious jewelry in 22 kt gold.  The brand also bears exquisite brooches and bracelets, as well as a divine diamond and 18kt white gold collection.  These jewels rule!

Karl’s Carbon Copy
Reverberating influence and recognizable image; two inherent attributes of The Fashion Designer.  Possessing both, and beyond, he is perpetually polished in a crisp white shirt, structured jackets, and tailored trousers.  Conjuring Lagerfeld?  Consider his likeness.

Making his debut this fall, a mostly identical depiction of his namesake is the Stieff Karl Bear, designed by none other than Mr. Lagerfeld himself.  Genuinely Germanic.  Hautely hip.  He’s certifiably Karl, down to every divine detail, from a luxurious leather belt to stylish Swarovski crystal initials.  Set for launch at Colette in Paris during Fashion Week, the Karl bear will become available in the U.S. during the month of October.  Give Teddy the thrust.  Stieff’s simply a must.  Stieff Karl Bear, priced at $1,500.

Available this fall at Neiman Marcus stores.

Fragrantly Ford
Those familiar with Ford know that this designer's no ordinary Tomcat.  As creative director for houses such as Gucci and YSL, Tom Ford has notoriously been the poster child for provocation.  Outstandingly creative, and at times, ostentatious, Ford has never been one to hide in the sartorial shadows.  True to form, the designer has created a line of fragrances based upon his own unique and distinct vision.  Says Ford, "Private Blend is my own scent laboratory; it's where I have the ability to create very special, original fragrances that are unconstrained by the conventions of mainstream scent-making."

Behold the brilliance of Purple Patchouli, a woody floral with notes of Orchid Accord, Amber, and Peru Balsam and the intense sensuality of Noir de Noir, a seductive blend of Black Rose, richly woven Saffron, and Black Truffle.  With 12 unisex blends available for aromatic adoration, there's a blend for every bloke and babe. Prices range from: $180-$450.
