Studio VATRAA Installed A Plastic Stonehenge in Milan
Milan is roughly 4,343 miles away from Stonehenge, but there is a new art installation that brings the prehistoric monolith to the bustling streets of Milan. Well, sort of. Created by London architecture studio VATRAA, the Plastic Monument is a reinterpretation of England’s ancient trilithons. As the winning entry to National Geographic’s 2019 competition, “Planet or Plastic?”, the studio created the installation by encasing 16,000 plastic bottles in a wire frame to implore viewers to reflect on the impact of plastic pollution. “We could argue that plastic waste is our legacy to many generations to come,” said the studio in a statement, adding that “the monument draws the attention to the consequences of our actions in the long run, to the fact that what we are doing today might stay on Ea...
Legendary Ferrari Enzo Sells for $2.8M USD
The Ferrari Enzo is one of the Italian marque’s most formidable and desirable cars it has ever made, and now one has appeared — and sold — at auction for precisely £2,510,500 GBP (approximately $2.87M USD). When it first launched in 2002, the Enzo arrived as the car to make Ferrari the undisputed king of supercars once again. Following up on the legendary F40 and the divisive F50, the Enzo packed all the credentials not just to compete, but to knock off the competition from Lamborghini, Maserati, and Porsche. The result included a six-liter naturally aspirated V12 that could produce 651 BHP, with all of this being sent to the rear wheels via a then-revolutionary six-speed automated manual F1 paddle shift transmission. This particular Enzo comes in the highly sought-after ...
A 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren at No-Reserve Auction Garners Bid of $360,000 USD
A Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren from 2005 currently sits at a bid of $360,000 USD, despite being listed at no-reserve. The McLaren, up for auction of Bring a Trailer, has just 1,200 miles and was acquired by its current owner in 2018. The seller noted that the car has been preserved in a full clear wrap since 2017. With four days left till the auction closes, the $360,000 USD bid is particularly impressive. For those unfamiliar, a no-reserve auction means that the item will be sold regardless of price, meaning there’s no minimum price and the highest bidder will get the vehicle no matter what. The McLaren comes charged with a 5.4-liter M155 V8 along with a five-speed automatic transmission. Taking on a sleek and timeless look, the model features alloy wheels, butterfly doors and xenon headligh...

Additional details include X-taped headlights, a metallic gold grille, TESTING warning motifs on the antennae, an extended front splitter with green underglow lights, and deep-dish BBS rear wheels. “Every panel is alte...
Keiichi Tanaami Presents ‘A Mirror of the World’ at NANZUKA
Legendary Japanese artist Keiichi Tanaami returns to the gallery walls in a new solo exhibition at NANZUKA in Tokyo. Concurrently held at the gallery’s UNDERGROUND and 3110NZ by LDH kitchen location, Mirror of the World comprises of a large collection of work Tanaami created during the COVID pandemic. During this two-year span, the artist began to reflect on the lessons and memories he’s experienced throughout his life. The resulting paintings appear as dream-like mandalas that reference the afterimage of Japan’s “post-war” era — mandala’s that serve as a form of self-autobiography for the artist. Amongst the work that Tanaami meditated on, he noticed a painting he reproduced of Pablo Picasso’s Mother and Child (Mère et enfant), 1943, which he replaced the child in the image with that of A...
Experts Vouch For This Tool That Sculpts, Lifts, and Firms, and It’s Under £10
Chen outlined some steps to take so you can make sure you’re using your tool effectively: 1. Always start with a clean face. 2. Before doing gua sha, you want to make sure to prep your skin with something emollient like a face oil or a balm. You also want to apply an oil that’s silky and doesn’t absorb right away, like Pink Moon’s Over the Moon Gua Sha Facial Oil, or you might tug your skin. 3. Keep the stone as flat and close to the skin as possible. Keep it at a 15-degree angle so you don’t create unnecessary friction or tug your skin. 4. If you have an active acne breakout, just do gua sha on the chest and neck. This will help to increase circulation and decrease inflammation. 5. Always use slow strokes on the neck and face, and use upward and outward ...

“There’s freedom in New York. The creativity is insane and the art is very communicative — there’s nowhere that compares.” Hypebeast: What is your favorite part of your studio?Delphine Diallo: It’s the open-plan space. The living room, the kitchen and table for people to eat, but also to share stories while being able to jump on for a shoot right after. There’s a huge 7m long window in the corner that lets in natural light, allowing us a little time to give to the magic. It’s a very intimate space, it has to be. Why is it special to you?One side is my creativity, my work, and on the other side, I’ve created a space for women to feel safe. I have a three-bedroom apartment that I’ve opened up to women from anywhere around the world. I’ve lived here for 12 years and have hosted 11 women so fa...
Aston Martin Unveils the AMB 001 Pro Track Hyperbike
In 2019, Aston Martin broke the Internet with the unveiling of its AMB 001 motorbike made in collaboration with Brough Superior, and now the two juggernauts have come together again to reveal the next iteration: the AMB 001 Pro. Strictly built for the track, the AMB 001 Pro superbike takes everything Aston Martin and Brough Superior learned and delivered with their formative motorbike and dials it up to eleven. The result is a 25% power increase on its predecessor to 225 HP, coming courtesy of a new fully-machined AL 5000 solid billet CNC-machine dual-cylinder 997cc engine. In total, the bike weighs in at just 175kg dry, meaning the power-to-weight ratio is 1.28 hp/kg — to put that into perspective, a Formula 1 car has a power-to-weight ratio of 1.4hp/kg, so don’t mistake the A...
