*The Art of Precision

written MONICA DE LUNA

A lineage of engineering distilled into the hum of an engine, the balance of a curve, the whisper of a second hand sweeping across a dial.

Orlando Bloom steps in as an ambassador, a presence that reflects precision, heritage, and an unapologetic pursuit of excellence. Porsche Design unveils its latest collaboration, embodying its core values in design and craftsmanship. Orlando Bloom becomes a part of this legacy. The campaign unfolds in a palette of obsidian black and sleek titanium, a nod to the Chronograph 1 – All Black Numbered Edition, an evolution of the 1972 design.

Orlando Bloom, Brand Ambassador

Bloom, a Porsche devotee, moves with intention. "Porsche is a lifestyle," he reflects. "It’s innovation meeting performance, meeting legacy."

The Porsche Design P'8478, first released in 1978, features interchangeable lenses, featherweight titanium, and precision-cut curves. It adapts effortlessly to changing conditions.

"Style is personal," Bloom says. "Authenticity is everything." His choices reflect a commitment to timeless design. Accessories are essential elements of his wardrobe, particularly when they merge function and elegance. Watches and eyewear are more than complements; they shape the way one interacts with the world. The Chronograph 1 – All Black Numbered Edition is at the heart of this campaign. A timepiece that encapsulates decades of design mastery. Conceived in 1972 and modernized in 2022, it bridges generations of engineering. Its monochromatic aesthetic is a study in focus and precision. Handmade in Solothurn, Switzerland, it stands as a testament to Porsche’s seamless fusion of Swiss craftsmanship and automotive ingenuity.

Beyond timepieces, the collaboration highlights Porsche Design’s eyewear. The P'8478 model, a pioneer of modular lenses, remains an icon. Designed by F. A. Porsche, its quick-release mechanism and durable titanium frame provide adaptability and refinement. A vision crafted for the dynamic.

For Bloom, this partnership aligns with his appreciation for innovation and legacy. As a long-time Porsche enthusiast, his connection to the brand extends beyond admiration. It’s a shared understanding of how aesthetics, function, and history converge. Stefan Buescher, CEO of Porsche Lifestyle Group, affirms this synergy: "Orlando Bloom embodies our values of authenticity, style, and a passion for perfection. His global presence strengthens Porsche Design’s resonance with an audience that values excellence."

Porsche Design remains committed to timeless innovation, and Bloom steps into this world as an extension of that ethos. A fusion of design and purpose, movement and precision. The Chronograph 1 is worn because it functions with mastery. The sunglasses because they are an optical evolution. This is Porsche Design—where every detail serves a greater vision.

HOKA New Speed Loafer 2025

HOKA Speed Loafer
*A Study in Motion

written MONICA DE LUNA

A design distilled to its purest form, cut to the rhythm of those who move with intention.

HOKA shifts the landscape once again. The Speed Loafer emerges as a sharp statement in movement, fusing a forward-thinking silhouette with the unmistakable energy of the brand’s signature engineering.

HOKA
Speak Loafer

Footwear, in its truest essence, is architecture in motion. The Speed Loafer manifests this ideology through sculpted contours and an unwavering focus on function. Precision-stacked layers of EVA foam deliver a sensation that pulses between structure and fluidity. The silhouette, clean yet assertive, lands with the clarity of a blueprint drawn for kinetic expression.

The upper—a seamless convergence of form and breathability—eliminates excess. A single stroke of engineered materials, composed to contour. Slip-in ease translates to uninterrupted motion, making the transition between states effortless.

HOKA’s DNA hums beneath the surface. The Speed Loafer carves out space for movement, where stability does not compromise agility. The midsole, sculpted for response, amplifies each step with a balance that speaks to both precision and instinct. Every element, from the minimalistic structure to the considered weight distribution, channels a philosophy of forward propulsion.

This release reframes versatility through a sharper lens. Urban rhythm or off-grid escapism, the Speed Loafer adapts to the moment without hesitation. A visual language that aligns with an audience attuned to dynamic design, it defies expectations without the need for embellishment.

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.
