Ermenegildo Zegna

According to Zegna, a couple key items will add a whole lot of mileage in one's wardrobe for next winter. A turtleneck - thin or thick - is absolutely essential. A versatile plaid-happy suit will pep up any dinner party and can be split up and paired with less visually stirring clothing for more straight laced affairs. Meanwhile, a bit of alpaca - brushed so finely it looks as if it has had a professional blow dry and setting lotion applied at the salon - is the ultimate joy fabric

Philipp Meuser's two-volume book set, entitled 'Pyongyang: Architectural and Cultural Guide', is an architectural guide to North Korea's capital. Volume 1 is perfect for the suitcase and should pass muster with even the most switched-on border guard. Volume 2, which contains the real meat of the matter, presents a sober analysis of a society paralysed by propaganda, secrecy and insularity. Pictured here from the guide is 'Night view of Kim Il Sung Square'. Click 'next' for more images from the book set

Rethinking the Mercedes Silver ArrowThe classic 1930s and 1950s Silver Arrows from Mercedes count as some of the most beautiful racing cars ever designed. Hubert Lee - the creative director of Mercedes' LA design operation - created a new Mercedes Silver Arrow for the 2011 LA auto show design competition, the LA Design Challenge. The theme for 2011 was cars for a futuristic Hollywood movie. 'We looked at many influences, but Syd Mead was definitely one,' Lee explains. Beneath the silver wheel shells are omni-directional diagonal rubber sections on a roller that allow steering in all directions. To enable access for passengers, 'the whole dashboard, bonnet and front grille slides forward as one section into the scooped area between the front wheels to create the space for the doors to open up, scissor-style'
