Stockholm is Europe’s first Green Capital
We were delighted to hear that Stockholm has been named the first European Green Capital by the European Commission. Stockholm is one of our favourite cities, and even though it never got congested compared to many European cities, the forward-thinking Swedes still implemented a congestion charge. The city has integrated environmental issues into its […]
We wish the world revolved around Italy
Lucire has a distinct Italian flavour at the moment, thanks in part to photographer Thomaz and his Milano shots from two fashion week shows so far: Byblos and Frankie Morello. Of the two, Morello is more newsworthy in its three-dimensional, origami quality; Byblos is more subtle, using silks and cashmere in showing off a structured, […]

This could have been our main cover image for the Lucire website—it’s fun and vibrant, and taken a few weeks ago at Bread & Butter Barcelona by our long-time photojournalist, Joma García i Gisbert. But given that our cover changed to Tiago Espirito Santo’s Moda Lisboa report only recently, we made the call not to. […]
Some years ago I had the privilege of driving through Europe visiting the famous car museums there—from the less-known Rosso Bianco collection in Aschaffenburg to the Musée Nationale in Mulhouse. There’s a new one that’s a must, opening today in Stuttgart: the Porsche Museum. Delayed by a year and with its construction costing […]
New works by David Kapp at Ruth Bachofner Gallery, Santa Monica
I am a big fan of this artist, who only gets better and better as the years pass. Had the pleasure of visiting Kapp’s latest installation of work completed in 2008 at the opening in Santa Monica last night, and found the canvases as durable and surprising as ever. His colour palette evolves with deep […]
