Alin Le’Kal SS2019 Haute Couture Collection

Alin Le’Kal is much defined by the generations of expertise and finesse that preceded him as he is by the raw femininity and indulgence of his own designs.

A combination that promises his clients that one moment that brief dream of unadulterated light that they will cherish for the rest of their lives.

Melbourne, Australia, the home of four seasons in a day and capital of the diverse melting pot of dreams was the perfect location for Alin to embrace and embark on his journey.

The melange of requests for gowns and dresses from family friends served as a catalyst to growing his range of artistry.

Building on early explorations, his studies in RMIT University gave him the firm foundation of knowledge and craftsmanship which served to streamline his aspirant and decadent designs.

Alin’s debonair relationship with textiles then grew over a decade in the industry, culminating in a rich expression of light, of flight, of shining brilliance that becomes the focal point of any memorable occasion.

And no client demands this more than the brides that seek Alin Le’Kal’s prowess with extravagant trains and intricate finishing, serving to illuminate their inner beauty and enhance their feminine silhouette with his signature flourish.

This mirrored throughout his dalliance with captivating crystals, with angelic feathers and radiant light sewn through each piece presented this year in the collection ‘Reflected Elements’.

Contrary to the quick and tawdry of today, Le’Kal is more than just a moment, Le’Kal is a memory steeped in elegance and confidence.

Glashütte Original Presents New Annual Edition: Sixties and Sixties Panorama Date

The Sixties line presents legendary 1960s design and embodies the art of Glashütte watchmaking, whose traditions date back to 1845. Lively and extrovert, dedicated to the spirit of the times today, it is certainly not something for fans of nostalgia. It was only in 2018 that the popular line saw the first of its striking annual editions. The fascinating green versions inspired watch and design enthusiasts all over the world. Today Glashütte Original delivers an exciting sequel to this success story: for its annual edition 2019, the German manufactory presents the Sixties and Sixties Panorama Date in multi-faceted orange. The new models feature unusual dégradé dials, as radiant as the eventful decade that gives them their name. In the 1960s the world was changing at breakneck speed, inspired by bold visionaries, unprecedented freedom and courageous ideas in art, culture, politics and society. The dynamic decade continues to inspire artists, designers, musicians and the watchmakers at Glashütte Original.

The new orange Sixties and Sixties Panorama -chic identity. The watch face presents its signature curvature, from the dial and the hands to the sapphire crystal, anti-reflective on both side. Arabic numerals, diamond-cut indexes, manually applied hour markers and hands highlighted with Super-LumiNova add harmonious accents. Idiosyncratic and yet stylish this holds true not just for the details but for the dial as a whole. Starting from a golden yellow at the centre, the colour flows across the curved surface, changing to fiery orange and red before reaching the black perimeter. The result is luminous vivacity, warmth and energy. Credit for this impressive ensemble of different hues also known as the dégradé effect goes to the experts at Glashütte own dial manufactory in Pforzheim.
