Maybe its a sign that I'm getting older, but my favorite brand is increasingly one that my parents also love, Hermès. From the quality and detail of their products all the way down to their amazing packaging, its definitely a brand to grow into.
In terms of innovation they are always pushing the envelope. See the recent Tokujin Yoshioka window displays in Tokyo above as an example. Also check out WHY, the Wally-Hermès Yachts that are absolutely unbelievable.
And if you can't afford a yacht, you can settle for a silver money clip.

My main man Gerry V just updated his body of work online after almost a decade underground.
Well not really, but he's had his head down working with folks like Baron+Baron, Visionaire and LIPMAN.

He is also a big influence one me and is indirectly responsible for my relationship with Straight No Chaser magazine. Here's a very tightly edited selection of some of his best work to date.
