We find many of them tacky exercises in marketing, their major point of keeping the PR/media machine rolling and certain brands at the forefront of consumer consciousness. Needless to say, it’s not something we support here at StyleZeitgeist. But once in a blue moon something interesting happens, or at least unexpected, when two brands we respect come together and make something. Why not?The new Aesop x Rimowa collaboration is one of these rare things. Knowing the uncompromising nature of Aesop, we pay attention to what they do, and Rimowa, well, is Rimowa, the “whatever car manufacturer you think is most prestigious” of luggage. The two came together to make a travel kit. The Köln kit is obviously made from that deliciously recognizable Rimowa aluminum, with a custom-made wooden inlay, and is stuffed with Aesop goodies - shampoo, conditioner, body cleanser and body balm, its Parsley seed cleansers, lip cream, toothpaste, and mouthwash. All this goodness will set you back a hefty $500, but maybe it’s time to add something to your life besides an eighth leather jacket?The travel kit is available in select Aesop and Rimowa shops worldwide starting tomorrow.

Shop:Case – Calculus, Victoria
[vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_column_text]Calculus is a concept store on Vancouver Island, a passion project of the Canadian born couple Graham & Ashleigh Newmarch.
Inspired by the live/work ateliers of its most admired designers, Calculus eschews the conventional structure of investor, creative director, buyer - and various associated staff.
Rather, all responsibilities at Calculus are handled by Graham & Ashleigh alone - resulting in a store whose concept, curation, and execution are an unfiltered distillation of their own distinctly romantic ethos.
Clients can shop at Calculus via their website, or in-person at their self-converted, c.1903 arts & crafts home-based showroom.
Launched in SS16, Calculus has just finished publishing their FW16 collections from Ann Demeulemeester, Forme D'Expression, Guidi, Jan-Jan Van Essche, Reinhard Plank, Rick Owens, DRKSHDW and Werkstatt:München.
