Urban Automotive x Visionnaire Range Rover LWB.

Urban Automotive has teamed up with Italian design house Visionnaire to launch a highly customised, one-off Range Rover Long Wheelbase Autobiography. Unveiled to mark the grand opening of Visionnaire’s five-level flagship showroom in Knightsbridge, London, the vehicle serves as a physical crossover between British automotive tailoring and high-end Italian furniture design.

“Translating the language of Visionnaire into an automotive environment means bringing our idea of living into motion, transforming the cabin into a bespoke space shaped by materials, details and emotion,” says Marwan Shimy, CEO of Visionnaire MEIA & UK.

The vehicle’s exterior incorporates Urban Automotive’s full carbon-fibre Widetrack styling package. The upgrade features a replacement carbon-fibre bonnet alongside matching front and rear bumpers, balanced by a custom two-tone paint finish that maintains the factory proportions. The vehicle’s creative concept was directed by international designer Aro Omar, founder of AROWONEN, who adapted the material language of the Adele armchair – originally designed for Visionnaire by architect Marco Piva – directly into the vehicle’s interior layout.

The cabin mirrors the armchair’s specific geometry by matching a firm, enveloping outer shell with a soft inner volume. The seats and surfaces feature cream and green Alcantara upholstery detailed with an all-over, embroidered fan texture and accented by solid bronze metal components. Co-branded Urban x Visionnaire detailing is integrated throughout the layout, framing the cabin as a mobile extension of Knightsbridge’s design district.  

“The future of luxury is no longer defined by status or excess, but by individuality, craftsmanship and the pursuit of the truly exceptional,” says Matthew Welch, Managing Director of Urban Automotive. “This one-of-one creation is more than a vehicle; it is a celebration of artistry, innovation and personal expression.”

The one-off Urban Automotive x Visionnaire Range Rover is now on display at Visionnaire’s new London flagship on Brompton Road, where it celebrates the opening of the immersive Knightsbridge space.

Canada Goose.

For decades, Canada Goose has equipped people for the world’s toughest environments. Now, the Canadian brand is asking a different question: what happens when nature becomes the teacher instead of the setting?  Launching alongside its Summer 2026 collection, the brand introduces ‘Natural Intelligence’ – a new long-term platform built on the belief that the natural world remains humanity’s oldest source of knowledge. 

The philosophy manifests physically through the ‘Natural Calendar,’ a year-round programme of expeditions timed to solstices, celestial movements and ecological milestones. Throughout the summer, Canada Goose is executing a global series of Local Expeditions to test its lightweight, breathable outerwear in the exact conditions it was built to withstand. The journey began this June in Piteglio, Italy, for the Summer Solstice and ancient Acqua di San Giovanni ritual, before heading to Haida Gwaii, Canada, to interpret how landscapes store information. The calendar concludes in the Pilbara and Karijini regions of Australia during Peak Milky Way Season, capturing tactical performance pieces under sacred night skies.

To ground this exploration, the platform introduces four Natural Intelligence Field Experts who embody distinct environmental instincts. The collective features mushroom biologist and sound artist Tarun Nayar, who translates fungal biostatistic signals into ambient music, alongside storm chaser Paige Vincent, who manually tracks atmospheric pressure shifts. They are joined by firefly researcher Avalon Owens, who decodes synchronised bioluminescent communication, and elite climber Natalie Afonina, who navigates rock faces through pure geological texture. Captured in immersive, documentary-style social features, the experts showcase an adaptable summer apparel lineup designed to seamlessly regulate heat and moisture. 

The platform builds on Canada Goose’s growing shift towards experience-led storytelling. Earlier this year, the ‘Return of the Sun’ campaign documented the end of the polar night in Svalbard, while the Snow Goose campaign sent athletes volcano boarding in Vanuatu, paragliding across the Swiss Alps and kayaking through British Columbia.

‘Natural Intelligence’ ties those journeys together under a single idea: paying closer attention to the world outside. For a brand built on protecting people from nature’s extremes, Canada’s newest chapter suggests the greatest discoveries may begin by simply slowing down long enough to notice them.

Marshall.

Marshall is focusing on what listeners don’t hear with the launch of the Milton A.N.C., the British audio brand’s first premium wireless on-ear headphones equipped with adaptive active noise cancellation. The new model pairs the label’s signature rock-and-roll aesthetic with advanced portable audio tech, utilising six microphones to analyse surrounding noise in real time and automatically adjust cancellation levels. 

Built for life on the move, the foldable, fully repairable design delivers up to 80 hours of wireless playback with ANC turned off, and over 50 hours with adaptive cancellation enabled. Visually, the headphones retain Marshall’s iconic heritage look, featuring textured black faux leather wrapping the square ear-cups, powder-coated metal arms and the classic brass script logo. To improve both passive sound isolation and comfort over the existing Major V model, the Milton incorporates larger memory foam cushions – literally music to the ears.

“We have developed a completely new driver system tuned for improved bass and treble performance that delivers dynamic Hi-Res Audio with fine detail,” explains Nicolas Pignier Delafontaine, Senior Manager of Audio & Acoustic at Marshall Group.

Inside, an entirely new 32mm driver system delivers fine-detailed Hi-Res Audio via LDAC support, balancing deeper bass response with brighter highs. The tech-forward build includes Bluetooth 6.0 with LE Audio compatibility, Marshall’s immersive Soundstage Audio, Adaptive Loudness, a customisable M-button shortcut and a user-replaceable battery to maximise product longevity. 

The Milton A.N.C. is available via Marshall’s website and at select retailers. Purchases also support the brand’s Amplify initiative, which directs one per cent of member sales straight into grassroots music venues and independent live music spaces.
