Each week offers a curated perspective on the places, objects and moments shaping contemporary luxury — where heritage, innovation and seasonal atmosphere are viewed through a modern, experience-led lens. Elevated Weekly explores contemporary luxury through four distinct lenses: escape, object, ritual and experience. Four signals. One weekly edit.
From a Riviera landmark reimagined for a new era to performance style shaped at the intersection of sport and fashion, a next-generation approach to sun care, and the return of one of design’s most defining global moments, this week’s selection traces the evolving expressions of contemporary luxury — sensorial, nuanced and quietly compelling.

The Escape: Como Le Beauvallon Opens on the French Riviera
One of the Riviera’s most anticipated openings arrives as Como Le Beauvallon opens above the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. Set within a private estate of palms, pines and rolling lawns, the hillside property offers sweeping views across the bay, with grounds that lead down to a bayside pool, beach club and the new Beauvallon Sur Mer restaurant. With yacht access directly in front of the hotel and a private jetty offering effortless connections to Saint-Tropez, the reopening captures a more fluid, quietly elevated way to experience the Riviera.
The Object: On and Zendaya Redefine Performance Style
Swiss performance brand On continues to reshape the language of sportswear through its collaboration with Zendaya. Blending technical innovation with a fashion-led perspective, the partnership moves beyond traditional activewear into a more expressive, style-conscious space. The result is a new vision of performance — one that feels as relevant on the street as it does in motion.
