Although the condition of this 1972 911 S/T today could certainly be described as perfect, its orangey‑red paintwork didn’t quite survive its rich racing history unscathed. Between 1973 and 1978, the car competed in the Camel GT Challenge on some of the most legendary circuits in North America: Sebring, Daytona, Indianapolis and many more. The details of a total of 27 race entries can be found in the archives for this Phoenix Red 911 S/T.

Colourful racing history

The 911 RSR, which was supplied from the factory prepared for racing, was difficult to get hold of in the early 1970s. That’s why Canadian team Equipe de Course Marc Dancose opted for a standard 911 S/T, which was then further optimised for racing by the renowned Brumos Racing team. Some of these modifications were particularly noticeable, with several solutions that were as distinctive as they were functional; for example, while the model’s standard wheels were retained on the front, Brumos fitted wider wheels – with a totally different design – at the rear. Brumos finished the bodywork in eye-catching Phoenix Red paint. As dazzling as the car’s colour and racing history may be, the Dancose 911’s competitive career came to an abrupt end in 1978 following a racing incident. Its final outing was cut short after a third-lap crash at the Trois‑Rivières circuit in the province of Québec.

Despite its misfortune, the Phoenix Red 911 S/T lived up to the name of its paint colour. Many years later, in its new home in a Swiss car collection, this special car was resurrected – like a phoenix rising from the ashes. But that’s not all. For its current owner, this special car also became the inspiration for a new one-off 911 S/T commissioned through the Porsche Sonderwunsch programme. The aim was not to simply produce a copy of the classic 911 S/T but to create an artistic reinterpretation.

An eye for the extraordinary

Through the course of this project, the experts in the Porsche Sonderwunsch department once again demonstrated their keen eye for detail. Just as with the 911 S/T built in 1972, the original Signal Yellow paintwork on the 2025 S/T is now visible only on selected parts of the car – most notably on the front bumper. The majority of the bodywork is finished in gleaming Phoenix Red. The period‑correct sponsor decals from the Camel GT Challenge weren’t carried over to this contemporary 911 S/T. Instead, designer Grant Larson – who was responsible, among other projects, for the Carrera GT and the first‑generation Boxster – played with the base tones of Phoenix Red and Signal Yellow to create a flowing colour pattern that was painstakingly applied by hand.

A look back

Of course, the motorsport history of the original car from the 1970s found its way into the Sonderwunsch one‑off. The Camel GT Challenge was a series for sports cars and prototypes organised by the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA), held from 1971 on circuits across the US and Canada. The races ranged from short sprint events to endurance races lasting up to 24 hours. From the second season in 1972 onwards, the tobacco company Camel became the title sponsor.

As ubiquitous as tobacco advertising was in the 1970s, the topic is a little taboo when it comes to a Sonderwunsch model made in 2025. Nevertheless, the iconic camel – along with outlines of the racetracks of Sebring, Daytona, Indianapolis and Lime Rock Park – found its way into the 911 S/T in several delicately crafted details: on the bespoke embroidered headrests, the interior trim pieces and the door sills, as well as in the embossed motif on the lid of the storage compartment in the centre console. The logo projector in the doors also illuminates the ground with an image of the iconic camel at the wheel of a racing car. The camel has, however, kicked the smoking habit.

Intentional asymmetry

The Sonderwunsch team has also incorporated the visual asymmetry of the wheels into the design of the new reinterpretation. On the rear wheels of the new one‑off, the Manthey Racing aerodiscs developed for the GT3 RS are used – only when stationary, however, as these parts are not officially homologated for the 911 S/T. The Aero Discs can simply be removed for driving on the public road.

As with all Sonderwunsch creations, every modification meets the high-quality standards that all Porsche cars are required to fulfil. This unique 911 S/T is perfectly suitable for everyday road use as well as for the racetrack. The numerous fine detailed features – some of which aren’t immediately noticeable at first glance, including the intricate paintwork – have all been applied with exceptional craftsmanship. Together, they make the S/T not only a striking one‑off but also a perfect example to showcase the possibilities of the Porsche Sonderwunsch programme – even the revival of historic colours like Phoenix Red.

At the centre of the second campaign is rapper and singer Hyunjin, whose sense of style and stage presence bring a fresh perspective on GUESS’ long-standing ethos of being young, timeless and adventurous.

“Hyunjin embodies the energy and free-spirited attitude of today’s generation. This campaign brings a fresh sensibility to GUESS’ denim heritage and marks the beginning of new momentum as we enter the brand’s next chapter,” said Paul Marciano, Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Guess?, Inc.

The campaign direction shapes both design and styling, drawing from his distinct character and stage presence. Denim-driven looks anchor the visuals, reflecting his individuality while signalling the brand’s evolving direction.

Stripped down to the classic white T-shirt and denim, Hyunjin’s presence creates a powerful take on effortless styling, accessorised with confidence. From wide-leg silhouettes and bootcut denim fits, the styling mixes shirts, hoodies, and ringer tees and brings a re-energised visual identity for the brand.

Rado takes to the runway again with two glamourous True Square Open Heart models. Brilliant diamonds, sparkling cut-away dials and the soft, gentle glimmer of polished white and plasma high-tech ceramic lend expressive elegance to a charismatic self-assured style. The seductive lighting of an haute-couture catwalk falls on 12 diamond indices and a scintillating, diamond-dust-like dial, adding a layer of warmth and radiance that makes the watch feel both luxurious and celebratory.

The Open Heart dial

Innovative by design, the skeleton dial isn’t just visually arresting. It’s an open-hearted invitation to create an enduring emotional connection to your watch – to enjoy the living, pulsing mechanics of time.

Innovation continues

The new dials were developed using a unique electro-forming process that produces a uniform diamond powder effect. This process also permits the Rado logo, markings and minute tracks to rise in striking relief from the base of the dial, the end result of galvanic growth. The resulting textured profile lends added distinction to an iconic design.

Two captivating styles

Crafted for essential elegance, the True Square Open Heart models merge slinky link bracelets with iconic square cases, both fashioned in Rado’s signature high-tech ceramic, renowned for its lightweight comfort and scratch-resistant surface. The two models offer a choice of refined aesthetics: The white edition presents a white high-tech ceramic case, crown and bracelet and a white flange surrounding the dial. A low-relief minute track flanks rose gold-coloured hour and minute hands with Super-LumiNova® highlighting and a rose gold-coloured second hand. Alternatively, in polished plasma high-tech ceramic, the sparkling dial’s yellow gold-coloured hands are framed by a sleek grey flange and a minute track raised in galvanic relief.

Both versions are powered by the Rado calibre R734, a 25-jewel, 3-hand automatic movement with antimagnetic NivachronTM hairspring and an impressive 80-hour power reserve. Assured reliability and Swiss made precision combine to form a trusted companion for both everyday and exceptional occasions.

Haute-couture glamour

Iconic design, innovative technology and the allure of high-fashion style place irresistible charm on the wrist of anyone with confidence and character. Worn with studied nonchalance, the True Square Open Heart becomes a fascinating addition to an effortlessly empowered elegance and haute-couture glamour.

New details about the next Disney Cruise Line ship, including the vessel’s name and design theme, were announced at the 2026 Walt Disney Company Annual Shareholders Meeting by Chief Executive Officer Josh D’Amaro during his historic first day at the helm of the company.

Fittingly revealed during an exciting moment of optimism and transformation for the company, the next ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet will be named the Disney Believe, honouring the dreamers and doers who dare to pursue their own happily ever after.

The Disney Believe is the fourth instalment in Disney Cruise Line’s groundbreaking Wish class that has redefined family vacations at sea. A signature design feature of the Wish class is each ship’s distinctive motif — an imaginative theme that shapes every part of the guest experience, from live entertainment to venues and décor. Like its sister ships – the enchantment-themed Disney Wish, adventure-themed Disney Treasure and heroes and villains-themed Disney Destiny – the Disney Believe has its own unique story to tell: one of promise and possibilities.

Filled with powerful stories of Disney characters who believe in themselves, in their dreams, and in the promise and possibility of a better tomorrow, the Disney Believe will bring to life the magical worlds of “Encanto” and “Frozen”, the wishing wells of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, and the depths of the sea with “Moana” and “The Little Mermaid” like never before.

There is more growth happening across Disney Experiences now than ever before in the company’s history. Joining the fleet during this unprecedented expansion, the Disney Believe builds on the Disney Cruise Line legacy of blending immersive storytelling with cutting-edge technology to create one-of-a-kind vacation experiences like only Disney can do. The ongoing expansion will grow the fleet to 13 ships by 2031, including the Disney Adventure, which sailed its maiden voyage from Singapore on March 10; the Disney Believe, expected in late 2027; the introduction of a brand-new class of ships in 2029; and an agreement with Disney and Oriental Land Co., Ltd. (OLC) to introduce Disney cruise vacations to Japan in 2029.

Editors, tastemakers, and friends of the brand gathered for a seated lunch where the new collections were unveiled alongside original vintage pieces from Movado’s archives. The event marked the debut of three new feminine watch collections and the official launch of Curve, Movado’s newest jewellery collection.

“Movado has been designing for women for more than a century, and today’s launch continues that story with beautiful designs that celebrate both our past and our future,” said Margot Grinberg, Movado Brand President. “The Museum Bangle, Heritage 1917, and Museum Velura collections reimagine icons from our archives, while our Curve jewellery collection introduces a dynamic new chapter for the brand that reflects the movement, elegance, and strength of the women who inspire us.”

Curve draws inspiration from nature’s fluid lines and organic movement, capturing the essence of the brand’s name Movado, meaning “always in motion” in Esperanto. The jewellery collection presents an assortment of rings, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces rendered in 18K gold vermeil over a durable 925 sterling‑silver base. Designed with continuous, wave‑like contours, the pieces create an elegant sense of motion and offer silhouettes designed for effortless stacking and layering.  

The Museum Bangle, Heritage 1917, and Museum Velura watch collections are inspired by original archival pieces that honour the brand’s rich heritage and longtime commitment to designing for women.

“I’ve always admired Movado for its clean, modern aesthetic and its ability to create pieces that feel both timeless and deeply personal,” said Moore. “These new collections are beautifully crafted and thoughtfully designed—a true reflection of the brand’s artistry and its commitment to celebrating women.”

Flashes of different eras from the 80s, 90s, and 00s add surprise and intrigue across key pieces, creating a wardrobe with an intentional sense of history and culture. The collection celebrates the way modern looks blend the past with the present and resurface in unexpected and dynamic ways.

In the collection, exaggerated volume contrasts with bold silhouettes. Sharp meets fluid, daring edge meets sophistication, gritty urban meets jet set glam, and modernity meets curated heritage.

“I loved building the universe of the S/S 26 collection: it’s sensual, sharp, fluid, provocative and refined. We had so many amazing references on our mood board, from chic Silverlake girls to 2010 trends and Indie Sleaze staples.” – Eliana Masgalos, Womenswear Design Director at H&M.

A key chapter of the collection’s story is conceptualised by opulent embroideries and bold crochets that bring a sense of craft and tactility to fringed tops, semi-sheet gowns and vests, and highly detailed blouses. This decadent softness is grounded by mid-wash denims and minimalist leatherwork such as cropped jackets with graphic lines, anoraks, and Bermuda shorts. Sharp suiting in linen blends brings sophisticated, modern elegance. Hero items include scarf-detail tops, skirts layering over trousers, sculptural asymmetric bandeau tops, and jackets with eye-catching curved fronts decorated with buttons. Modern takes on athleisure come with a note of technique and texture.

The collection’s jewellery is sculptural – including shell motifs on necklaces and earrings, oversized bangles of metal and wood, and numerous statement pendants. Accessories include a mini handbag fully decorated with shells, and a metal shell-shaped bag with a tassel detail. Shoes include strappy and thong sandals: flat, or with sculptural curved wedge heels.

Across the collection, the palette fades from sandy beige to cool white and classic black, with accents of red, offering a vision that combines breezy, sun-kissed charm with sensual, high glamour.
