From Hermès pausing time with its 39mm Cut Le Temps Suspendu to Roberto Cavalli sculpting style in marble prints, this edition of The Brief surveys fashion’s latest statements. Chaumet redefines radiance with unisex honeycomb jewels, Carter Young taps into ’60s London with a filmic twist, and Coty revisits a scent revolution in its new documentary on Pierre Bourdon and Davidoff’s Cool Water.
Roberto Cavalli’s “Marbelous” Collection
Roberto Cavalli presents its Marbelous collection and campaign featuring fresh face Bruno Bilokapa. The collection’s prints evoke blue-veined marble and classical architecture, bringing a layered sense of history to pieces that feel strikingly current.
Rich textures, fluid cuts, and ornamental motifs tie it all together, reviving Roberto Cavalli’s love for excess through a lens that’s more graphic than gaudy. It’s opulence with edge—less about flash, more about presence.
Chaumet’s Bee Collection Expands
In its 2025 evolution, Chaumet’s Bee collection continues to blur the lines between high jewelry and personal expression—especially in its unisex pieces. Rings and bracelets in mirror-polished white gold imitate the geometry of honeycombs, with hexagonal links that shift between sculptural minimalism and diamond-studded intricacy.
These pieces are extensions of the house’s legacy, redesigned with a modernist lens. The Bee collection’s craftsmanship and symbolism give the pieces a power, rooted in nature but designed to shine in any setting.
Carter Young Channels Late ’60s London
Carter Young’s spring 2025 collection lands with a cinematic flourish, debuting in tandem with “After Midnight,” a short film directed by David Hurtado. The project stars Ben Allen wandering neon-lit London in a Liberty-exclusive pink double-breasted suit—a visual callback to the tailored defiance of late 1960s British cinema.
Now available at Liberty’s Regent Street store and online, this drop frames Carter Young’s vision as both auteur and outfitter.
Hermès Suspends Time
Hermès introduces a new chapter in horological escapism with the 39mm Cut Le Temps Suspendu, bringing its poetic complication into sharper focus for 2025. Known for literally stopping time at the push of a button, the Le Temps Suspendu now joins the contemporary Cut line—an architectural silhouette first unveiled in 2023.
The new Cut Le Temps Suspendu maintains the Maison’s signature mischief, inviting wearers to pause the hour hand and dwell in a moment of suspension, an idea that first captivated collectors in 2011. Now, with its softened notches and burgundy dial, the 39mm Cut merges futurism with whimsy in true Hermès fashion.
Pierre Bourdon & Davidoff’s Cool Water
Coty releases “Pierre Bourdon, Gentleman Perfumer,” a documentary honoring the creator of Davidoff’s Cool Water and his groundbreaking impact on men’s fragrance. Launched in 1988, Cool Water introduced the “New Freshness” movement with its pared-back formula and amplified aquatic notes, becoming a global phenomenon and a blueprint for modern perfumery.
In the film, Bourdon reflects on his creative process, personal influences, and the legacy of a scent that reshaped the olfactory landscape—now reimagined for the man of 2025.
