BIRKENSTOCK
Birkenstock taps into Valentino’s creativity to rework the brand’s iconic Arizona sandal. Though not a weather-appropriate footwear for this season, this pair of sandals is conceptualized and designed by Valentino’s creative director Pierpaolo Picciolo. His choice to collaborate with Birkenstock was because of the brand’s reputation of being a staple to basic styling no matter what you wear, who you are, your gender, social background, age, style and if you care about fashion or if you do not. Truly, Birkenstock is a well loved brand of people from all walks of life. Having the idea of approaching the DNA of Valentino, it represents the individual and intimate world of couture with something that it is so free and adaptable, making it the definition of inclusivity. Valentino’s Birkenstock effort features two colorways of the Arizona. The black iteration boasts Valentino’s VLTN logo on the side, while the red rendition is a tonal affair.

TIFFANY & CO.
Can there be a color more iconic and packaging that screams old-school class more than Tiffany & Co’s? It is, after all, a trademarked color for the brand, so gifting someone an item from the recently revamped Tiffany Men collection says a lot without even trying. Though the brand is typically catered to women, it has a significant number of followers from the male spectrum. For gift ideas, the wide chain bracelet is recommended, purely made from Tiffany’s signature sterling silver paired with the square dress watch that combines modern Swiss movement with a perfectly retro shape that reflects the brand’s 150 years of existence in the watch business. The sterling silver signet ring becomes an essential piece of anyone’s ring game while the 18k gold link chain necklace is the simplest and best money can buy. Lastly, the diamond point cuff links are a subtle wrist-mounted flex.
