In our weekly TWIL series, we bring you the latest in luxury news from around the world. This week’s highlights: a season of lightness and functionality in Tod’s Spring/Summer 2026 Men’s Collection, Cartier’s lagom-themed high jewellery ring collection, and more.
Tod’s Latest Men’s Collection Is A Functional Take On Outdoor Living
In Tod’s Spring/Summer 2026 Men’s Collection, the emblematic Gommino takes the spotlight through a concept rooted in leisure and outdoor living. It reigns across the footwear line-up, appearing in bubble, boat shoe, slipper, loafer, and sneaker styles. Silhouettes are clean and fluid, with an emphasis on ease and movement, as seen in the collection’s unstructured jackets and relaxed trousers. Pashmy—a particularly sought-after variety of goatskin known for its supremely soft, almost silky touch—is fashioned across wardrobe staples such as bombers, blazers, and coach jackets. Linen, too, is presented in crêpe, satin, and silk blends and tailored into key pieces such as the updated safari jacket. Tod’s also introduces the Travel-Wool, a newly developed fabric prized for its soft, breathable feel and versatility, and is used for travel-ready outerwear and trousers. Among the accessories, highlights include the Di Bag Folio tote, a trekking-inspired backpack, and the greca belt.
Cartier Reimagines En Équilibre Ring Collection Through The Lens Of ‘Lagom’
Each year, high jewellery enthusiasts look forward to the maison’s high jewellery collection; this year, it celebrates the concept of lagom, a Swedish word that signifies ‘not too much, not too little’, and promotes balance in all aspects of life. Each of the five rings in the collection is a showstopper of its own—singular rings that combine precise volumes and a symphony of colours, purity, and clean design. This includes the Bullio Ring, which utilises Cartier’s signature green-red-black combination centred around a 25.54 carat rubellite and surrounded by rubellite beads and emerald cabochons. Meanwhile, the Motu Ring comprises successive levels: portrait diamonds sparkle around the centre stone, surrounded by rows of turquoise and chrysoprase beads. Other rings include the Tateya, Skudo, and Azulejo.
Truefitt & Hills Highgrove Grooming Collection Is Fit For A King
Truefitt & Hill recently launched their latest male grooming collection, Highgrove. It is inspired by Highgrove Gardens, which is right next to the private home of King Charles III. Highgrove’s packaging features the artwork The Cedar Tree, Highgrove by King Charles III (used with permission from The King’s Foundation), while the collection features products such as the Splash fragrance, Pre-shave Oil, Shaving Cream, Aftershave Balm, Shaving Soap, and more. The essence of cedar is at the heart of the collection, while top notes of cypress and lemon pair charmingly with lavender, papyrus, and vetiver.
Three More Michelin-Starred Chefs Join The Datai Langkawi’s Chef Series
Following a star-studded line-up for part I of The Chef Series 2025: The Gold List, the resort continues to reinforce its position as the leading destination for excellent gastronomy. From 18 to 19 July 2025, The Datai Langkawi will welcome chef Gert De Mangeleer of the two-Michelin-starred Hertog Jan at Botanic, Belgium—who finds joy in incorporating Japanese traditions in his dishes—alongside his long-term collaborator and sommelier Joachim Boudens.
On 4 and 5 December 2025, chef Thibaut Gamba of the one-Michelin-starred Logis De La Cadène in France will lead the series, showcasing the delicacy of French dishes using local produce, paired perfectly with the fine wines of Château Angelus. Rounding off the 2025 series—and opening the 2026 season from 13 to 17 January—is chef Alain Roux of the three-Michelin-starred The Waterside Inn in the United Kingdom. As the son of the legendary Michel Roux, OBE, chef Roux upholds the remarkable legacy that has sustained the restaurant’s three Michelin stars since 1985.

Deepika Padukone Stars In Hilton’s New Brand Campaign

The campaign captures moments of her stay as she balances work with downtime, showcasing the brand’s commitment to intuitive design and service rather than grand gestures. “It’s always the little things—the warm welcome, the personal touches, the attention to detail—that turn a Hilton stay into a memory,” Padukone said in a statement.
