Ciclotte is an innovative exercise bike, designed and made in Italy combining idea, form and technology in rethinking the traditional aesthetic and functional values of an exercise bike. The Ciclotte is an adaptation of the Ciclò project, an innovative prototype of a single-wheel city bike, which is now part of the permanent collection exhibited at the Triennale Design Museum in Milan. Ciclotte has been manufactured using exceptional materials like carbon, steel and glass fibres representing complete innovation in the fitness sector thanks to the unique technology of the epicycloid’s transmission system.

Designed by Luca Schieppati, a young designer from Milan, and manufactured by the Lamiflex Group in Bergamo, Ciclotte puts the breaks on the design of traditional gym equipment with shapes and finishes that appeal to users looking for a more aesthetically pleasing workout. {Pulse Magazine} And, if we’re being honest, exercise machines sometimes ends up functioning more as furniture anyway. A sculptural stationary bike that can be passed off as art is far less embarrassing than the bulky treadmill that doubles as a towel rack.

Quite a step outside Cavalli’s box, but for fashion lovers and exercise enthusiasts alike, your day has finally come. The bikes will be available beginning this month alongside Roberto Cavalli Gym, a collection of fitness apparel that lets you hang on to a bit of over-the-top glamour while you sweat. The limited-edition equipment will be available in six color variations:

• Black carbon fibre with details in jaguar-print pony
• Fuchsia carbon fibre with details in Alcantara® (a faux suede-like textile)
• Black carbon fibre with details in zebra-print pony
• Gold steel with details in Alcantara®
• Gold steel with details in jaguar-print pony
• Silver steel with details in Alcantara®

Both the bikes and the outfits are exclusively available at Roberto Cavalli boutiques around the world. {Racked}

Airlines are lobbying governments to pick up the tab for some of the lost revenue from days of grounded flights, passengers are lobbying airlines to cover expenses from days of unplanned hotel stays, and most people are generally trying to put it all behind them.

Except for watchmaker Romain Jerome. The Swiss watchmaker, whose previous special edition watches have included timepieces made from parts of the Titanic wreckage and moon dust from the Apollo 11 mission, is betting there’s at least one person who will want a memento of the difficult to pronounce molten event. Literally one person, because only one watch is being produced.

Considering the many collective hours spent watching the clock and waiting for travel conditions to improve, a watch actually seems like an appropriate commemoration. The watch is made of rock and ash from the volcano, and comes with a certificate stating the authenticity. Though it has to be said, volcanic ash and rock – especially right now – probably aren’t exactly rare. {DVICE}

There are two tiny planes at the tip of the hour and minute hands, and the left side of the face is illustrated with red hot flames, which are pretty striking against the rock face. While there’s been no announcement of the price, don’t expect it to be inexpensive; Romain Jerome’s watches can retail for as much as $500,000.

The stylish watches are deep burgundy with silver hardware and retail for $300,000 a piece.

According to the company, the bones were excavated in western North America and authenticated by a geologist. {StyleList}

Because it is legal to mine and move dinosaur bones, Moinet isn’t the first to include them in his accessory design. For individuality and timelessness, you can find anything from rings, pendants and earrings that include fossils.

A fossilized bone materializes after a bone’s cellular structure changes and is replaced by quartz, leaving the bone structure intact. Fossils usually range in colors of brown, black, red, blue, yellow and gold. {Bernadine} Incorporating million-year-old aspects in one-of-a-kind custom jewelry would certainly be in the category of gifts for the person who has everything. And if it really catches on, you may hear rappers bragging about T-rex and Pterodactyl instead of diamonds and platinum.

We have to admit we’re getting a little tired of all the Nantucket prepster boat shoes rolling out in droves this fall/winter season, but we’re willing to change our minds for the co-branded collaboration between footwear companies UNDRCRWN and Rockport.

The D.O.C. Delta Boot has the classic boat shoe shape, but with quirky pink laces and a suiting-inspired pinstripe exterior the shoe goes beyond basics and offers a unique take on a silhouette that seems to be everywhere right now. We also love the luxe leather/wool/suede fabrication — much more chic than all those other canvas docksiders!

With a limited-edition run of only 100 pairs (and that’s worldwide!) we’re sure there will be a mad dash to UNDRCRWN (both retail stores and online) to pick them up at the November 27 launch, so get on your running shoes and catch them while you can.

With fragrance notes like toffee apple and hints of praline, it sounds like the extra decoration and gorgeous, frosted pink bottle may be the visual reminder we need to remember that though it may smell good enough to eat, it’s strictly for spritzing.

If Rolex bores you and you prefer your watch to look like it could take a beating, take a peek at the tough, utilitarian-chic limited-edition collection from military watchmakers Bell & Ross.  No sissy diamond-encrusted bling here; although there is a model with a crystal-studded skull-and-crossbones on the watchface, it’s decidedly more Rocker than Investment Banker.

We love the rugged look of the collection, which would look great with relaxed-fit jeans, a campfire built from scratch, and this season’s “fashion beard.”
