BEDU Atelier LE MILE Best Dining Table of the Year 2024 Award

LE MILE Magazine names BEDU Atelier
The creator of the Dining Table of the Year 2024

 

BEDU Atelier’s designs are born from the intrinsic qualities of travertine. This ancient stone’s natural veins, textures, and tonal variations are celebrated rather than masked, allowing each table to tell a unique story. The selection process for materials is meticulous, ensuring every slab of travertine carries an identity of its own, imbued with history and nature’s artistry.

Every table is a result of an unyielding focus on material authenticity. The travertine’s raw beauty is complemented by precise craftsmanship, creating pieces that radiate understated luxury. This balance between the rugged and the refined defines BEDU Atelier’s design ethos, presenting their tables as statements of presence and permanence.

Each table emerges from a process that begins with collaboration. Designers and artisans work together to shape the travertine into forms that evoke simplicity and elegance. Hand-finishing techniques ensure the stone’s natural integrity is preserved, resulting in surfaces that invite touch and admiration.

The 2024 award-winning tables exemplifies this philosophy. Their structures harmonize bold geometric lines with smooth transitions, creating a centerpiece that commands attention without overwhelming its surroundings. Every detail—from the beveled edges to the seamless joins—is a testament to the brand’s pursuit of excellence.

On teams up with the visionary FKA twigs to unveil The Body Is Art, Part II, the centerpiece of its Spring/Summer 25 Training Collection, presenting training as an evocative, immersive act of self-expression and artistry.

 

Under the creative direction of FKA twigs and through Jordan Hemingway’s lens, the campaign pulses with energy inside a raw, industrial London warehouse. Movement emerges as a powerful form of expression, channeling creativity and identity.

With Paralympic athlete Léa Bayekula, IFBB Pro bodybuilder Michelle Mensah, and dancer Nana Yaa, the visuals honor strength and individuality. Each participant embodies the vision of movement as art—a dynamic exploration of purpose and form.

“I’m drawn to bodies shaped by purpose, by life,” twigs reflects. “In The Body Is Art, Part II, strength becomes art. It’s about redefining beauty through function and celebrating what the body can do.” Her words resonate across the collection, which blends technical precision with a minimalist aesthetic to redefine training apparel.

On’s SS25 Training Collection delivers performance-driven designs with a striking edge. The campaign’s highlighted looks — from the streamlined Studio Cut Out Crop and Train Tights Short to the dynamic Train 2-in-1 Crop paired with Train Shorts — are engineered for freedom and resilience. Twigs herself embodies this duality, wearing pieces that flow seamlessly from performance to expression. Completing the aesthetic are On’s signature sneakers, including the versatile Cloudnova X and high-performance Cloud X 4. The wider SS25 line reflects On’s commitment to innovation and inclusivity. From high-intensity staples like the Train-T and Train Shorts to the ultra-soft Studio line tailored for yoga and barre, the collection addresses diverse movement needs while maintaining a sleek, modern look. It’s sportswear that not only adapts to the body but elevates it, making every movement an act of creativity.

The winter edition of Pitti Uomo will be held at Florence's Fortezza da Basso from January 14 to 17, 2025. During these days, Fall/Winter 2025 collections from almost 790 brands—of which 45% are international—will showcase the new frontiers of menswear.

 

Menswear lovers, rejoice!

This season will feature two guest designers: Satoshi Kuwata, who has chosen Florence for the first runway show of his brand Setchu, and MM6 Maison Margiela, which has created an exclusive menswear collection for Pitti Uomo. Many other new projects will be presented at the Fortezza, also through special connections with the world of art and photography, from established names to the most innovative research-driven brands, not to mention the lifestyle segment, which is becoming increasingly influential.

This January, Pitti Immagine's winter shows embrace fire as a unifying element to capture the essence and spirit of the upcoming season. FIRE is the theme behind the new ad campaigns for Pitti Uomo, Pitti Bimbo, and Pitti Filati, each uniquely tailored to reflect the character of each event under the creative direction of Angelo Figus, with graphic editing by Alessandro Gori. FIRE will also inspire the design setup at the Fortezza da Basso, curated by Alessandro Moradei.

“It's a recognition of the generative power of this primal element,” says Agostino Poletto, General Director of Pitti Immagine. “Fire brings people together, warming both body and soul, drawing attention and pointing the way. It serves to entertain, amaze, inspire, melt old ideas and habits, and forge new ones—just like fashion does. We'll spark excitement, ignite desires, and focus on challenges and solutions, just as Pitti Uomo always does.”

The Fortezza da Basso, like a grand department store, welcomes Pitti Uomo exhibitors and offers visitors a curated mix of brands and styles that meet market demands.

Prada’s Re-Nylon Odyssey
Threads That Speak of Oceans

 

written ALBAN E. SMAJLI

 

Threads are never just threads. In Prada’s hands, they’re remnants of past errors and whispers of future hope. Collaborating once again with National Geographic CreativeWorks, Prada ventures into uncharted territories of storytelling, presenting a series of cinematic vignettes that unravel the origins of their regenerative vision.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Sadie Sink, figures of cultural magnetism, traverse Norway and Mexico in this year’s episodes. Their presence illuminates the heart of the initiative. These are ecosystems of thought, connecting marine preservation, education, and the fashion landscape. Under the lens of Prada’s ongoing SEA BEYOND project, initiated in 2019 with UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, every stitch in the Re-Nylon fabric is a conversation about oceanic literacy and collective futures.

In the Lofoten Archipelago, Arctic winds carry tales of marine life entangled in ghost nets—silent invaders drifting through global currents. Benedict Cumberbatch, alongside environmental advocate Valentina Gottlieb and local expert Carl Höjman, traces these remnants of plastic to the systems that perpetuate ecological harm. This episode confronts the urgency of protecting marine ecosystems, turning a lens toward the actions shaping their future.

Sadie Sink explores the intricate ecosystems of Mexican waters, revealing their fragility and the ongoing efforts to nurture their survival. Prada’s Re-Nylon initiative engages with local communities to amplify solutions addressing environmental challenges. These films draw attention to the necessity of preservation, weaving together stories of resilience and action.

SEA BEYOND extends beyond the physical, creating a platform of education and engagement. Since 2019, over 35,000 students have explored ocean literacy through innovative tools like VR and outdoor learning, bridging the gap between ecosystems and those poised to inherit them. The initiative’s mission is clear: to counter ignorance with knowledge and inspire active stewardship.

In Venice, the “Kindergarten of the Lagoon” cultivates early connections with fragile marine systems. Children learn directly from the environment, understanding its delicate balance and also their role in its future. Through SEA BEYOND, 1% of Re-Nylon’s proceeds fuel programs that sustain these efforts, transforming products into purposeful action.

Re-Nylon challenges the industry’s entanglement with unsustainable practices. Prada’s approach, showcased through National Geographic’s visual narratives, provokes thought and sparks dialogue. These episodes confront and explore the transformative potential of fashion as a medium for ecological advocacy. With every thread crafted from ocean waste, Re-Nylon embodies a deliberate step toward a conscientious future where aesthetic value aligns with environmental intent. Prada’s vision creates a roadmap for luxury redefined—where responsibility shapes identity.

AYOM exists in quiet power. Woods smolder at its heart, curling in whispers of tobacco and spiced earth. There’s a stillness to it, an inhale that pulls you into its depth. Oud, dense and resinous, moves like liquid shadow, while amber and vetiver soften into something intangible—a smoke that hangs in the air long after it’s gone.

ZUAC hums in clarity. Citrus edges cut through cool air, sharp and fleeting, before giving way to the hush of florals. Jasmine and orange blossom unfurl slowly, their softness drawn into sandalwood’s grounded warmth. It hangs close, a muted presence that clings to skin like memory.

The AMAN bottles are built like silent monoliths—deliberate, weighted, and carved with intention. Matte glass strips away distraction, drawing the hand to its cool surface, the eye to its quiet form. Nothing is loud here. Every detail, distilled to its core, feels essential, as though it has always existed.

AMAN Essentials shapes fragrance into place. These scents move like the air in still deserts, the hush of shadowed forests, the glow of far-off waters. They are less worn than inhabited—a personal encounter with silence and earth, captured in layers of essence.

Cereria Terenzi creates fragrances that exist as their own dimensions, crafted by Paolo and Tiziana Terenzi with a vision that fuses intensity and artistry.

 

Each scent unfolds as a tactile experience, a narrative that imprints itself like a fleeting but unforgettable memory, saturating the senses with its bold presence. Tiziana Terenzi’s fragrances are cosmic artifacts, each one an invitation to traverse the vast unknown.

Crafted with obsessive detail, these bottles shimmer with golden intricacies and celestial engravings, like fragments of the universe captured in glass. The signature cap, a nod to astronomical precision, turns every piece into a treasure of sensory exploration. Tiziana Terenzi captures moments of raw intensity and emotion, distilling them into creations that speak without words. ANDROMEDA burns with a hypnotic warmth, while ABBRIVIO flows with shadowed mysteries. Tiziana Terenzi’s creations pulse with life, an unfiltered sensory experience that envelops and transforms with every encounter.

 
 

V Canto unearths the hidden corners of human emotion, painting olfactory narratives steeped in love, desire, and betrayal. Inspired by the timeless verses of The Divine Comedy, this collection is poetry transformed into scent—an exploration of the soul’s journey through darkness and radiant light.

The bottles, swathed in lush velvet, hold secrets within their tactile embrace. CIANURO simmers with saffron and oud, an infusion that whispers desire. LUCE radiates with zesty citrus and floral notes, a luminous presence that lingers. V Canto sculpts fragrance into a medium that captures the intricate textures of emotion, crafting a sensory language uniquely its own.

Giardino Benessere crafts fragrances as vessels of nature’s power, designed to nurture the senses and elevate well-being. Rooted in the wisdom of botanicals and aromatherapy, these creations radiate a holistic approach to scent, merging ancient traditions with modern intention.
The bottles, stripped to their essence, speak of minimalism: translucent glass, earthy hues, and deliberate simplicity. HERÀ commands attention with its powerful blend of citrus and warm spices, creating an unforgettable presence, while NEROLI emanates a tranquil rhythm, evoking the serenity of a quiet garden. Giardino Benessere turns scent into ceremony, creating visceral landscapes that entwine with the core of human instinct.

 
 
 
 

Milan. Dubai. Cereria Terenzi’s boutiques exist as curated sanctuaries where scent converges with art and architecture. Every detail pulsates with intention, drawing visitors into a sensory realm that feels almost otherworldly. The lighting breathes atmosphere, the furniture exudes crafted energy, and the fragrances rest like artifacts of another time, radiating quiet intensity.

From the celestial visions of Tiziana Terenzi to the evocative storytelling of V Canto and the elemental rituals of Giardino Benessere, these brands define distinct realms of sensory exploration, unified by a dedication to excellence. This is fragrance elevated—art made manifest, a legacy that lingers in every molecule.

Stedge Shelf by Leonard Aldenhoff

 

WOUD, a Danish design house with an instinct for minimalism, brings its philosophy to life in every detail of Stedge. The shelf is a manifestation of clarity, an embodiment of purpose. Thin steel cords hold slender oak shelves in place, creating a structure that evokes both strength and lightness. The interplay of wood and metal reveals a design that speaks to balance and precision.

The creation of Stedge traces back to Leonard Aldenhoff, a German designer known for his focus on technical mechanics and clean aesthetics.

The evolution from concept to finished product reflects a commitment to craft and innovation.

WOUD places emphasis on materiality and functionality, ensuring Stedge fulfills its role without excess.

Victoria Beckham Holiday 2024
*British Glamour Meets Festive Luxe

 

written Amanda Mortenson

 

Victoria Beckham has set the tone for Holiday 2024 with a new campaign that speaks to the brand's evolving blend of luxury and modern sophistication.

Shot by Jonathan Frantini, the brand´s latest release is a visual feast, with an opulent British estate as its setting and models Rayssa Medeiros and Bebe Parnell bringing life to the season’s most refined partywear. Against a backdrop of manicured gardens, ornate interior woodwork, and historic masonry, the campaign feels like a love letter to elegance wrapped in the mystique of old-world charm.

 
 
Victoria Beckham Holiday 2024 Campaign LE MILE Magazine

Victoria Beckham Holiday 2024 Campaign

 
 

Beckham’s holiday collection is a masterclass in low-key opulence—it's the festive wardrobe stripped of all cliché. There’s no glitter bomb here, no tinsel trim—just a powerful edit that reimagines the holiday hostess as commanding and effortlessly chic. Partywear takes a new form, bending toward structure and sensuality: sharp tailoring, lush textures, and lines so precise they almost cut. Floor-skimming dresses and sculpted blazers don’t scream for attention; they hold it, like a whispered invitation into Beckham’s world of restrained luxury. It’s a world where the details whisper but never beg, where luxury is something you feel more than see.

Stylist Katie Shaw turns up the contrast, pairing sleek silhouettes with aged woodwork and faded opulence—a vintage manor becomes the unlikely stage for modern pieces that glide through its historic spaces.

 

Each frame is a play of textures, where silken fabrics absorb the muted light pouring through old windows, and earthy tones nestle into the grandeur of well-worn interiors. Beckham’s aesthetic is brought to life in the quietest of statements, like the elegance of a perfectly placed fold or a single bold line. Hair by Kiyoko Odo and makeup by Anne Sophie Costa push this ethos even further, embracing the models’ own natural beauty—no thick layers, no hiding, just a delicate highlight here and a touch there.

In Beckham's world, holiday dressing is about resonating—a harmony of ease, precision, and timeless allure.

 
 
Victoria Beckham Holiday 2024 Campaign LE MILE Magazine
 

Frantini’s lens captures a world teetering between intimacy and grandeur, drawing close on the subtle glances and poised gestures, then pulling back to reveal a sprawling manor steeped in British heritage. Each shot feels like a quiet chapter in a story, tinged with the weight of old festive rituals but devoid of all the sparkle and noise.

Beckham’s approach to tailoring steals the scene, as expected. Known for cutting with razor-sharp precision, she brings her signature structure to life here with soft holiday-ready twists—slightly exaggerated shoulders, tapered waists, and cuts that flatter without fuss. Her suits land somewhere between commanding and comforting, balancing on lines that are strong yet move naturally with the body. Asymmetric dresses and delicate drapery flow in tune with the wearer, creating an effect that’s as effortless as it is refined. Accessories barely whisper, reinforcing Beckham’s creed that less always does more.

 

For Beckham, the holiday season has no need for heavy-handed embellishments or gaudy statements. Her pieces embody a luxurious restraint, aspirational yet grounded, rooted in timeless style rather than trend. There’s a palpable quiet confidence in this collection—it resonates in the way every seam and fold is considered, how each texture invites you to linger. It’s a kind of elegance that doesn’t shout, a holiday dressing that sidesteps cliché and embraces a refined approach that feels distinctly Beckham.

Victoria Beckham’s Holiday 2024 collection is, in essence, an ode to a different kind of celebration—one where luxury lies in every nuanced detail, where tradition and style meet in harmony, and where holiday dressing becomes an act of personal expression as much as it is a nod to heritage.

*600 Ways to Glow

 

written Monica de Luna

 

Rewind to 1966. Gino Sarfatti’s Model 600 lamp broke rules and boundaries, proving that lighting could flex, adapt, and surprise.

 

Now, Bottega Veneta, Italy’s high priest of leather luxe, has partnered with Flos to breathe new life into Sarfatti’s icon. The result? A lamp that fuses sculptural statement with timeless vision.

Gino Sarfatti, born in Venice in 1912, had a talent for twisting conventional ideas into something organic, fluid, and unapologetically modern. The Model 600 embodied this ethos with its soft, lead-shot leather base that reshaped the idea of rigidity in design. The same year saw Bottega Veneta experimenting with leather techniques that would define its legacy.

 
 
Bottega Veneta Fall 2024 Flos Lamp Design News LE MILE Magazine green lamp
 
 

In the latest reinterpretation, Bottega Veneta transforms the Model 600 into a tactile masterpiece. Sarfatti’s smooth leather base now flaunts the unmistakable Intrecciato weave—a textured signature that defines Bottega’s craft. Another iteration, the Intreccio Foulard, amplifies the design’s visual dynamism while maintaining its core identity.

With advanced LED technology, the lamp balances the iconic bulb silhouette with contemporary functionality. The light flows seamlessly between direct and indirect, adapting to the angle of its reflector. Whether placed on a floor or table, it commands the space with a magnetic presence.

 

Color choices add personality to the design. Black and grey offer understated elegance, while red and emerald green (our most favorite) bring a sense of indulgence. Then there’s that green—the unmistakable Bottega Veneta hue that turns heads. Available in two sizes, the Model 600 redefines how a design piece integrates into modern living.

This collaboration shows how two icons—one in avant-garde lighting, the other in craftsmanship—combine to create something transcendent. It is a dialogue between decades, a modern heirloom with presence and vision.

HEIGS Fall/Winter 2024 Campaign
*A Manifesto in Craft

 

written Sarah Arendts

 

The Alpine air holds secrets, and HEIGS knows how to listen. Their Fall/Winter 2024 campaign, “CODE SWISS,” takes its cues from the Aletsch Arena, a raw expanse of ice and earth. It’s a grounding force for the brand’s aesthetic—clean, intentional, and rooted.

Founded in 2021 by Johanna van der Drift and Daan van Luijn, HEIGS operates at the intersection of design and craft. Each piece emerges from 153 steps of haute maroquinerie, performed by a single artisan in France. The process unfolds with an attention to detail that reveals itself in every curve of leather and every precisely stitched seam.

The collection’s defining features include interchangeable linings, crafted from materials like antique Toile de Jouy or upcycled ballet fabrics. The use of full-grain “Safari” calfskin ensures that the bags mature over time, taking on a tactile richness that invites interaction. This season’s silhouettes, from “En Suisse” to “Petit Suisse,” reflect a commitment to simplicity without losing depth. For the “CODE SWISS” campaign, HEIGS chose the Aletsch Arena as its setting—a site where nature’s power and precision coexist. The location mirrors the ethos behind the designs, offering a visual narrative that feels timeless yet forward-thinking.

2025 marks a significant evolution for the brand as HEIGS prepares to launch its first outerwear collection. These pieces are being designed with the same philosophy that informs their handbags: deliberate, versatile, and crafted to leave a lasting impression.

HEIGS’ work resonates because it prioritizes material integrity and process over fleeting trends. The designs speak a language of restraint, where every element has purpose and intention. With a focus on expanding their global presence, HEIGS creates collections that connect to specific places while maintaining universal appeal.

“CODE SWISS” captures HEIGS’ essence—precision honed in the Alps and a craft philosophy that’s anything but ordinary. Each piece pulses with intent, stripping design back to its raw, tactile core.

Floating Vision with Louis Vuitton
Frank Gehry’s Architectural Dream at Art Basel

 

written Monica de Luna

 

Grand Palais, Art Basel Paris 2024—Louis Vuitton enters the scene with a bold vision that fuses fashion, art, and architecture into something entirely new.

 

Frank Gehry’s latest creation hovers above the space like an otherworldly presence, pushing past the expected and inviting us into a surreal, experimental universe. This is an awakening—a dynamic collision of creative forces that demands attention.

 
 
LE MILE Magazine Frank Gehry Louis Vuitton Art Basel Paris 2024_ARTY_CAPUCINES_D2A4858_Adb98
 

Perched on the Balcon d'Honneur, Gehry’s creations take command, embodying a raw force of nature. A colossal white fish hovers above the staircase, ghostly and alive with energy, fusing strength and fragility in a way that reflects Gehry’s signature approach.

The sculpture speaks to his relentless exploration of boundaries, where aerodynamics and chaotic elegance seamlessly converge, shifting our perception of space, function, and beauty into a realm that feels untouchable.

 

At the core of the exhibition is Louis Vuitton’s audacious vision, a bold move that embraces Gehry’s boundary-pushing creativity. Since 1854, Vuitton has thrived on fearless experimentation, and here they let Gehry fully unleash his architectural prowess.

His designs for the Capucines Mini Blossom and MM Concrete Pockets radiate with the same energy as his monumental structures. These bags transcend fashion, merging leather, glass, and metal into sculptural forms that carry the essence of Gehry’s architectural DNA.

Gehry’s Twisted Box is the exhibit’s undeniable centerpiece. The trunk, a Louis Vuitton icon, undergoes a radical transformation. Every corner, every curve defies logic, as if the object itself has been stretched, fractured, and reassembled with an electrifying tension. Yet somehow, amidst the chaos, there’s a harmonious balance—an unexpected unity within the deconstruction.

This tension is the essence of Gehry’s work with Louis Vuitton. His bags transcend function, embodying the spirit of his most legendary structures. The BB Analog pulls directly from the IAC Building in New York, while the MM Floating Fish bag draws inspiration from Gehry’s signature scales, intricately embedded into leather. His architectural language seamlessly flows into the world of high fashion, turning each piece into a wearable masterpiece. In this exhibition traditional craftsmanship meets experimental design, immersing viewers and wearers in a powerful experience.

The Pi6 also introduces adaptive noise cancellation, allowing the listener to carve out their own auditory space amidst a chaotic environment. It transforms surrounding noise into a backdrop where the focus remains on what matters most—the sound. Transparency mode lets in the surrounding world, offering control without removing the earbuds. Battery life supports extended sessions, offering 8 hours of listening on a single charge, with an additional 16 hours available through the charging case. A quick charge feature also allows for 2 hours of use with just 15 minutes of charging.

From the design side, these earbuds reflect a deep understanding of human anatomy, offering an ergonomic form that molds naturally to the ear. The available finishes—Forest Green, Glacier Blue, and Storm Grey—offer a visual depth that complements their technical sophistication. And with an IP54 rating, durability is woven into their elegance, protecting the device from environmental elements like dust and splashes.

 

The intuitive design is interactive. The Pi6 uses responsive touch controls that feel organic. With multipoint Bluetooth pairing, the transition between devices happens smoothly, creating a seamless experience. Try them yourself and immerse fully in the sound experience.

STOFF Nagel
*A Minimalist Icon

 

written Monica de Luna

 

There’s something timeless about the simplicity of form, a quiet elegance that speaks louder than any grand gesture. STOFF Nagel, the Danish design brand that reimagined an icon, understands this balance intimately. Its candle holders demand attention and they command it with effortless grace, reminiscent of an era when minimalism met the sculptural allure of modern design.

 

Born from the vision of Hans Nagel and the artistic prowess of Werner Stoff, the candle holder is a canvas for personal expression. Introduced in the 1960s, it reflects the architectural and artistic impulses of its time—stackable, modular, and entirely customizable.

The STOFF Nagel Candle Holder / Best in 2024

 

The candle holder’s DNA is steeped in history. Hans Nagel, a creative mind with a deep-rooted connection to his family’s craft, found inspiration in the most unexpected of places: a ski trip gone slightly awry. After a fall in the snow, Nagel’s fingers left three distinct holes. Those shapes—simple, geometric, and inherently human—would serve as the basis for the design he would later develop with Werner Stoff. The result? A candle holder that marries organic form with stark precision, a reflection of the mid-century fascination with space-age aesthetics and post-war design innovation.

The candle holders can be endlessly reconfigured—stacked into towering sculptures or spread across a dining table in a minimalist arrangement. It’s this flexibility that resonates with the creative individual, the one who sees beauty not in static perfection but in fluidity, in the ability to reshape the world around them.

 

The brand’s success is rooted in its refusal to compromise on craftsmanship. Each piece is carefully made, a nod to the original designs by Werner Stoff, whose eye for detail and love for rounded forms continue to influence the collection. Whether cast in chromed metal, brass, or the more recent bronzed finishes, each iteration feels like a rediscovery of something familiar yet fresh.

In the fast-paced world of design, where trends are as fleeting as the seasons, STOFF Nagel stands firm as a symbol of enduring elegance. It’s no wonder the editorial team of LE MILE Magazine selected STOFF Nagel as the Best Candle Holder of 2024. The brand offers an experience—a chance to sculpt light and shadow, to engage with history, and to participate in a narrative that spans decades.

The modular design, initially conceived as a utilitarian object, has transcended its function to become a piece of art in its own right. Design is loud, but STOFF Nagel moves differently. There’s a calmness in its form, a subtlety that draws you in and invites you to pause. It creates space for personal expression, offering a moment to explore creativity through minimalist beauty. Each piece holds a certain presence, allowing you to shape your surroundings in ways that feel uniquely your own.

*The Sideboard That’s Shaking Up Minimalist Norms

 

written Amanda Mortenson

 

When we talk about furniture that blends art with functionality, it’s rare to encounter pieces that truly stand out. This year, LE MILE Magazine has selected Pastform Furniture as our Brand of the Year 2024 in the "Best Sideboard" category, and it’s not just because of their striking design language.

 

The Libra Sideboard, in particular, represents everything we admire in furniture: a balance between innovative design, sustainable craftsmanship, and minimalist allure.

The LIBRA Sideboard / A Design for Living

 

Originating from Poland, Pastform has carved out a distinct identity within the contemporary furniture scene. While they might not shout with grand gestures, their subtle, thought-provoking designs resonate louder than any ostentatious display. The essence of their work lies in their craftsmanship — a commitment to producing furniture that feels like an extension of modern architecture, with each piece thoughtfully executed to create a sense of place and personality.

What sets Pastform apart is its unique ability to blend tradition with modernism. Their designs are deeply rooted in Polish craftsmanship, yet they don’t feel stuck in time. Instead, they move forward, pulling elements of past eras and reimagining them for the contemporary eye. It’s a balance of opposites, which is why the name Libra feels so fitting for their award-winning sideboard.

 

At first glance, the Libra Sideboard commands attention without demanding it. Its minimalist silhouette is clean, functional, and undeniably chic. But, like all good design, the deeper you look, the more you uncover. Pastform’s Libra embraces a thoughtful symmetry — its proportions, materials, and lines all speak to an effortless balance, echoing the astrological symbol it’s named after.

Constructed with a combination of rich wood tones and an elegant matte finish, the Libra feels like the ultimate marriage between nature and precision. The surface is smooth, tactile, and inviting, while the wood’s natural grain is carefully highlighted, reminding us that true luxury often lies in the details.

The Libra is also about practicality, versatility, and adaptability. The sideboard offers a spacious interior with ample storage, making it a standout in living rooms but also in more intimate settings like a hallway or bedroom. Its multi-functionality aligns with the brand’s ethos of blending art with utility, meaning you don’t have to choose between beauty and practicality.

Selecting a Brand of the Year is no easy feat for the editorial team at LE MILE, but Libra made the choice effortless. What struck us most was how this sideboard bridges the gap between artistry and everyday use. The Libra Sideboard is a modernist’s dream — functional, striking, and deeply rooted in timeless design principles. But what makes it even more special to us is its accessibility. While the craftsmanship and materials are of the highest caliber, Pastform ensures that this piece remains available to those who appreciate good design without needing to break the bank.

 

In a world of mass production, Pastform’s dedication to local craftsmanship and sustainability shines through. The brand is focused on ensuring their practices respect the environment. Each piece, including the Libra, is crafted with sustainability in mind, using locally sourced materials and responsible production methods. This aligns perfectly with the evolving consciousness of today’s consumer, where aesthetics and ethics must go hand in hand.

 
 

Pastform crafts pieces that push the boundaries of minimalist design, fusing tradition with a daring modern aesthetic. The Libra Sideboard stands as an evolving masterpiece, shaping the future of how we experience space and design. Enjoy Yourself!

Shao New York: For the Rebel in a Suit

Shao New York's sophomore collection is a cut above.

 

Shao New York designer, Shao Yang is loosening up the seams of tradition. In fact, nothing about her calculated ascension in fashion is traditional at all, except for her clothing, sort of. (More on that later).

 
Shao New York SS25 Review Randy Brooke LE MILE Magazine
 
Shao New York SS25 Review Randy Brooke LE MILE Magazine
 

Having wrapped her second show (her first made headlines on the roof of Anna Delvey’s apartment), it’s clear that the emerging label is more than just hype. She proved that Wednesday evening, as she closed out the Spring/Summer 2025 season of New York Fashion Week with a show that her publicist, Kelly Cutrone, proudly coined over a microphone before it began, “from rooftop to runway.”    

The actual title is Class of 98: Rebellion Remastered. The program was printed on thick stock paper, and it felt and read like a cleverly written manifesto rather than show notes. However, Yang’s point of view is clearly laser focused. Yang described the collection as an antidote to the Instagram nostalgia social media is currently trapped in and more as a tribute to old-school teen angst before we spent more time curating our brand image on our phones than spending it at the park or driving around town with our friends. A simpler time, one could argue.

 

What’s not up for debate—Shao New York’s mastery of tailoring. She also owns another business, The Tailory, which designs bespoke suiting aimed at the LGBTQIA+ community, probably one if not the first of its kind. The thirty-five look collection—rooted in leather, denim, and cashmere, also has some really impressive trompe l’oeil shirting because as Yao states in the program, “let’s face it, the ’90s were all about illusion”. Of course, there was a lot of statement suiting, too. Call it a redux of the boss bitch energy archetype Donna Karan created in the 80s but bejeweled.

While inspired by the youth culture of the '90s, these were the kind of clothes that make you want to grow up fast. The kind of clothes a young Carrie Bradshaw might wear on a night out with Big, perhaps, as he rolls down the window of his town car, takes one last look at her and says, “Abso-fucking-lutely.”

Private Policy at Work
*NYFW Spring/Summer 2025

 

written Malcolm Thomas

 

This season Private Policy tries to tackle AI and corporate oppression with a pop culture twist.

 

Everyone knows Theodore Shapiro’s now infamous compositions from the fashion classic, The Devil Wears Prada and can’t help but feel a certain wide-eyed excitement when they hear it. That’s probably precisely why it was playing over the speakers at The Altman Building before the Private Policy show on Wednesday, and certainly one of the reasons for the collection’s title, The Devil Is Here.

 
Private Policy SS25 Review LE MILE Magazine Adriana Kaegi

It was also one of many inspirations for the brand’s most recent collection. Iconic easter eggs like the famous Miranda Priestly line, “Everybody wants to be us,” was printed across a polo, and another line, “Florals, for spring?” inspired the brand’s signature checker prints to be updated with, you guessed it, florals.

However, the Private Policy designers, Haoran Li and Siying Qu’s sole intention was not to take us on a trip down memory lane, but to try to tackle a daunting conversation, one that has caused widespread fear in the heart of many creatives, AI. Where is it going? How will it impact us? Whether that question was answered was debatable, but it segued into another fear, going to the office.

 

The show opened with two employees clocking in, the daily rhythm most of us are slaves to and have dreaded even more post-pandemic, complete with disembodied ringing phones, computer clacking, Mac desktops, and even cubicles where the two performers pretended to type away as models burst through the seemingly corporate drudgery, key fobs dangled from pockets with empty plastic ID sleeves, work shirts were styled with combo jersey shorts and mini-skirts and even glittering hot pants made an appearance at the office. For context, this was a fashion office.

According to the program, the takeaway is this, “Perhaps what today’s generation truly seeks is not a return to the rigid hierarchies of Y2K corporate life, but the unapologetic ambition and dream-big energy of the Y2K era, reimagined for a future that prioritizes creativity and self-expression over outdated notions of obedience and submission.”

Then suddenly the performers promptly strutted down and off the runway. I guess it’s time to clock out.

As Milan Fashion Week approaches, all eyes are on WHITE Milano, the event that has become a global hub for showcasing cutting-edge women’s prêt-à-porter fashion.

Running from September 19 to 22, WHITE Milano returns with more than 300 brands, pushing the boundaries of style, sustainability, and innovation. Hosted at iconic venues Superstudio Più and BASE Ex-Ansaldo, the event promises a potent mix of established labels and rising stars ready to shape the future of fashion.

The buzz around this year’s WHITE edition is electrifying, thanks to its carefully curated lineup of designers who challenge conventional norms. The show’s emphasis on sustainability and originality sets a new benchmark for contemporary fashion. Alessia Cappello, Milan’s Councilor for Economic Development and Labor Policies, underscores the significance of this moment: "Fashion is Milan’s asset. WHITE continues to be a powerful force in driving forward employment and reputation for the city, with a clear focus on future-forward trends and innovative solutions."

WHITE’s famous "Secret Rooms" are back, spotlighting emerging designers who have been carefully handpicked for their vision and bold approach. This season, talents like YANGKEHAN, MIAORAN, and PROTOTYPE: AM are at the forefront, each transforming traditional craftsmanship into something new and daring.

YANGKEHAN blends classic oriental aesthetics with a fresh, contemporary twist, offering intricate handmade garments that radiate feminine power. Meanwhile, MIAORAN’s SS25 collection, "La Tempesta," channels nature’s raw elements through macramé techniques and sustainable practices. From stormy seas to delicate sands, MIAORAN’s vision of genderless clothing marks a new frontier in fashion’s fluidity.

Berlin-based PROTOTYPE: AM flips the script on office wear with its "OUT OF OFFICE" collection, playfully subverting corporate dress codes with a palette dominated by olive green and striking silhouettes.

 

WHITE’s Loft and Basement spaces have long been where boundary-pushing collections find their home. This year is no different. South African designers—like FIKILE SOKHULU and GOOD FRIDAY—bring a global perspective to the Loft, combining craftsmanship with striking feminine elegance. On the other hand, the Basement is reserved for those pushing the limits of avant-garde design. VANDERWILT’s leather sculptures and VUSCICHÈ’s botany-inspired creations are testament to the growing demand for sustainable, circular fashion practices that still feel luxe and tactile.

Louis Vuitton’s Idylle Blossom Collection just dropped five new pieces, and they’re serving more than rose gold and diamonds.

 

The Monogram Flower is back—pavé diamonds flash across necklaces, rings, and bracelets like a quiet flex, a reminder of the house’s unapologetic legacy. No need for fanfare, just sharp lines and bold energy.

What´s the new twist? An infinity circle, wrapping around the Monogram Flower like a reminder that nothing ends. It's not really romantic, it's real—connections, cycles, motion. The single ear stud pairs this circle with a round brilliant diamond, subtle but serious. The necklace? A mid-length piece that falls just right, laidback enough for a casual fit, but catches the light when it matters. Adjustable, because rules don’t apply here.

Stack them, layer them, or let one stand on its own—the pieces are here to move with you. The rings bring something fresh, a triple-layered design that gives stacked vibes without the extra effort, while another ring keeps it clean and direct. The Idylle Blossom collection is about movement, about staying ahead without trying too hard. Rose gold is the canvas, diamonds the punctuation. Effortless, but never basic.
