THE CAMPAIGN

Monos X Adrien Brody

US travel brand Monos – which is celebrated for its sleek, sustainable design – has launched its first Aluminium Collection of durable and elegant hard-shell luggage. The collection is accompanied by a celebrity campaign starring recent Oscar and Bafta winner Adrien Brody. The campaign was shot in Tangier, Morocco, and captures the essence of adventure and connection as Brody explores the city's vibrant landscape and culture. There are three shades: Aspen Silver, Caviar Black and Champagne Gold. We have our eye on the caviar aluminium trunk.

THE OUTERWEAR

YMC’s YMO Jacket

We’re longtime fans of London label YMC and are intrigued to see where it goes now Sage Toda-Nation has become creative director after the death of co-founder Fraser Moss. One of Toda-Nation’s first designs reinterprets a piece from the YMC archive. The YMO lightweight jacket features a wraparound throat guard, box-pleat sleeves, inseam slit pockets and a concealed button fastening. A water-resistant style in a recycled nylon-cotton blend, it’s available in sage green or black – and is just the thing to add a pop of interest to your wardrobe during drizzly April.
