Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme is bringing back a celebrated collection from its past – the “Cracked Embroidery” series. This isn’t just a re-release of old clothes; it’s a fresh look at the ideas of vulnerability and power that were central to Yamamoto’s work in the mid-1990s, specifically drawing inspiration from his 1994-95 Autumn/Winter “Marionnette” collection.
The Denza Z Convertible represents a bold new direction for BYD’s luxury brand, with plans for a quick expansion into international markets before launching in China. First shown at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show, this open-top version of the original Denza Z concept is designed to make a strong impression in the luxury car market. Led by design chief Wolfgang Egger (formerly of Audi), the car features a comfortable 2+2 seating arrangement and an elegant fabric roof that folds neatly into the trunk. Instead of relying on flashy spoilers, the production model shown in Beijing uses a subtle, built-in rear spoiler for a more refined look. It stands out with a unique green exterior paint and a striking interior combining green, white, and yellow. BYD plans a full lineup – including hardtop, convertible, and high-performance versions – to directly compete with established European sports cars like the Porsche 911 Cabriolet and Maserati GranCabrio Folgore.
