We’ve come to expect theatrics from Mr Hedi Slimane, the creative director of CELINE HOMME, but the digital presentation he put on this July for the brand’s SS22 collection was quite something even by his own standards. Taking place amid pine forests on a sandy island in the south of France and performed to the tune of a thousand screeching cicadas, “Cosmic Cruiser” was a merry mash-up of traditional runway show, freestyle motocross event and house music gig, with tunes coming courtesy of resident DJ Ms Izzy Camina.

Mr Hedi Slimane’s latest collection for the French luxury designer brand is now available, including exclusive items available only at MR PORTER

The older we get, the more we come to cherish practical holiday gifts. Gifts such as thoughtfully designed, exquisitely crafted knitwear. Sure, a mohair jumper may not be quite as dazzling as limited-edition timepiece or a piece of fine jewellery (and let’s be clear: we would most humbly accept either of those). But it’s the sort of thoughtful present that we appreciate 10 times as much when temperatures plunge further in the new year.

What role do clothes have to play in an era of digital modernism, ecological destruction and economic uncertainty? The last two offbeat years may have given the industry an opportunity to reinvent itself but what exactly is emerging out of this period of reckoning? As we move forward into 2022, our revived sense of social and ecological responsibility is colliding with a digital revolution: next year’s fashion will channel an earthy pragmatism and the pristine gloss of the virtual. On the surface, this might seem like two diametrically opposed worlds but the reality is that these two driving forces are coming together in increasingly curious ways.

Cartier is known for the variety of unlikely but elegant shapes it has introduced to wristwatches over the decades. The names are as evocative as their shapes are singular: the Tank, the Tortue (tortoise), the Baignore (bathtub), the Cloche (bell) and so on. The Pasha, recently relaunched by Cartier, is named differently. As far as shapes go, it’s just a round watch. But of course, it’s not just a round watch. It’s one of the more eccentric and fascinating designs in the Cartier catalogue, launched in 1985 but named after Mr Thami El Glaoui, Pasha of Marrakesh during the first half of the 20th century. Mr El Glaoui was a glamorous international figure, a friend of Sir Winston Churchill, a keen sportsman and an important Cartier client. The Pasha watch has the opulent feel of something he’d have commissioned: lavish but sturdy, an exotic sporting watch for a grand pre-war eminence. The Pasha isn’t a shape – it’s a mood and it’s the subject of MR PORTER’s latest About Time film.

The Cartier Pasha is like no other watch in the brand’s collection – perhaps like no other watch. An opulent, extravagant medley of design influences with true diving capabilities, it is pure Cartier in its idiosyncratic genius

As the year comes a close, it’s time to take stock and think about the important things in life, such as what our hair looks like and which fragrance we want to wear. So, to give you some inspiration on how to end 2021 on a well-groomed high note (and enter the new year looking your best), we asked some of the MR PORTER editorial team to share the grooming products at the top of their holiday Wish Lists.

“I never throw anything away,” says Mr Dan Sablon. “I’ve kept all my clothes from when I was, like, 14 years old.” It’s the sort of admission that, from anyone else, might prompt a visit from the &lt;Hoarder SOS&gt; TV crew or an urgent intervention by Japanese decluttering guru Ms Marie Kondo. In the case of Sablon, however, a man who used to save up his pocket money to buy Dior Homme, it’s safe to assume that his bursting-at-the-seams wardrobe – his “archive”, as he describes it – is a priceless panoply of treasures.

Sneaker collecting is an increasingly serious and increasingly legitimate business. When I was growing up in the 1980s and 1990s, I had maybe two or three pairs of trainers (not sneakers) at any one time, which I wore until I grew out of them or destroyed them, whichever came first. They were more function than fashion. Today, kids and adults alike fill their wardrobes (and cupboards and the spaces under their beds) with treasured collections of kicks. More than any other collectible, sneakers transcend generations and demographics.

Whether buying for pleasure or profit – or both – here’s our expert guide to kickstarting your kick game. How to go from trainer trainee to sneaker master

For those of us who did not live through the 1960s, 1969 feels impossibly exciting. Call it Fomo, but it is a common psychological trick that everything seems amazing if you were not there. And that year in particular signals the end of a decade that, for people numbed by the infinite well of experience afforded by smartphones and social media, had much of probably the one thing the internet cannot easily grant us. Authenticity.

Rather than dwell on past glories, the latest collection from the forward-thinking Italian brand is built for right now
