The slipper movement – if we’ll call it that – from last summer seems to continue its stroll into the new year, with
Jon Buscemi‘s eponymous luxury footwear brand introducing a neat silhouette for 2015. The creative took to Instagram to preview a forthcoming flip-flop from
BUSCEMI, marking a relaxed departure from the brand’s penchant for complex lines and panel structures. Still, the BUSCEMI Leather Slippers are tastefully executed with luxurious pebbled leather through the articulated sole and forefoot strap. The top portion is detailed with the brand logo at the center, printed in gold foil. Those curious to experiment with new stylings should look for these to drop in the coming (hopefully warmer) months.
After becoming a significant talking point in 2014, wearable tech is preparing itself for another huge year of innovative releases and new entrants into the market.
Montblanc throws its hat into the market as the first such luxury brand to do so with the unveiling of the Timewalker Urban Speed e-Strap. The NATO-style strap accessory is meant to be an accompaniment to pre-existing analog watches (provided the straps measure in at either 20mm or 22mm), meaning users need not sacrifice styling or a favorite timepiece to reap the benefits of wearable tech. The Timewalker Urban Speed e-Strap syncs with both Android and iOS platforms and allows the user to receive notifications from emails, read texts, measure activity, serve as a remote-control for smartphones, controlling music and finally a “Find Me” function to ensure that you’ll always find your watch or phone within a 30 meter radius. The strap will be available through three new Timewalker watches or separately as a strap for the price of €350 EUR (approximately $423 USD).
