By Steven Hempel. WHEELS KEEPON TURNING The wheels keep on turning, and we're just trying to keep up. Our journey takes us from a visit to Shanghai with Loewe's Jonathan Anderson to our friends at Chanel, whose Le Lift Pro helps us look beautiful through the harsh winter months. And, so it begins … L oewe creative director Jonathan Anderson curates an exhibition in Shanghai entitled "Crafted World" (March 22nd – May 5). It's a voyage that takes the audience to the sights and sounds of Spain via a series of interactive rooms. The 1,600-square- meter exhibit, held at the Shanghai Exhibition Centre, celebrates the joy of human touch and interaction with the fabrics and materials that make Loewe so special. Turning inward, we glance at Le Lift Pro Gommage by Chanel. It never hurts to give yourself a treat, and the French luxury staple has added a gommage to smooth skin and enhance your complexion. Find it at the Chanel boutique, chanel.com. From face to hand, we look to Dior — and it's the Jolie bag. This is the bag to carry in 2024. With a timeless silhouette, it's the perfect bag to take on your next trip to … just about anywhere. This exceptional vessel has a refined CD clasp, detachable chain, and freshwater-pearl detail. Find it at the Dior boutique, dior.com. From vessel to objet, we turn to Victoire de Castellane, whose new Milly Carnivora collection for Dior is inspired by the botanical treasures of Monsieur Dior's Milly-la-Forêt garden. Paying tribute to the sensuality of the lush gardens, necklaces, rings, and earrings are embellished with delicately lacquered flowers to reveal shimmering colors. Set with random patterns of diamonds and precious stones, these exceptional works of art reflect the beauty of the house's atelier and the convergence of artistic inspiration and perfection of craft. And, lastly, it's about that time … to conclude with the Gucci G-Timeless, Dive, and 25H for men and women. Each Swiss-made timepiece carries Gucci's traditional sensibilities married with new codes, with a dial displaying such house motifs as the bee, star, or heart — just looking for a place on your wrist. Find it at the Gucci boutique. FROM SHANGHAI TO PARIS, WE LOOK AT THE SHINY NEW OBJECTS VYING FOR OUR ATTENTION. THE
