Your May 2025 Horoscopes: Here's what's in store this month

3 days ago | russh.com | Elyssa Kostopoulos

We’re easing into the quieter months now, after the firestorm of transformation and chaos that was March and April. If any month is begging you to take a chill pill, it's May. Pluto goes retrograde in Aquarius on 5 May, pulling us to face where we’ve been confined by outdated structures in our lives. You might feel the urge to break free, like you're about to launch into some dramatic act of rebellion. Totally valid! But ask yourself: What's the purpose here? What are you really trying to shift?

KSUBI x Mowalola is the hottest street drop of the month

1 week ago | russh.com | Elyssa Kostopoulos

Somewhere between the raw energy of early-2000s youth culture and the dopamine-fuelled grit of digital-era cool lives KSUBI x Mowalola – a capsule that doesn’t ask for your attention, it demands it. The limited-edition collaboration is a collision of unapologetic ideologies. Mowalola Ogunlesi – the Nigerian-born, London-based designer rewriting the codes of modern subversion – meets the denim-drenched edge of Australia’s most rebellious export.
Hermès suspends time with Watches & Wonders 2025 releases

2 weeks ago | russh.com | Elyssa Kostopoulos

Time, for Hermès, has never been about discipline. It’s about rhythm. Feeling. A glimmer between past and present, tradition and play. At Watches & Wonders 2025, the Maison continues its quiet rebellion against the ticking clock – offering time not as a constraint, but as a canvas for expression. From the whimsical pause of Le temps suspendu to the sculptural elegance of Maillon libre, each creation reframes the role of the watch. These aren’t just instruments of precision.
Forget the Tank à Guichets, I'm not over the Cartier Tressage

3 weeks ago | russh.com | Elyssa Kostopoulos

In the world of Cartier, time is never linear. It twists, leaps, and refracts – turning gold into gesture, a panther into poetry. For Watches & Wonders 2025, the Maison reveals a suite of creations that continue its legacy of metamorphosis: watches that behave like jewellery, jewellery that dares to tell the time.
CHANEL creates two parallel universes at Watches & Wonders 2025

3 weeks ago | russh.com | Elyssa Kostopoulos

At Watches & Wonders 2025, CHANEL proves that time is never just black and white. This year, the Maison invites us into two parallel universes – both bound by boldness, both refracted through colour. First, there’s the J12 BLEU – an icon reimagined in a hue that’s nearly black, nearly infinite. A matte blue ceramic forged through five years of devotion, precision and alchemy.
Chopard presents a watch for every hour of the day at Watches & Wonders 2025

3 weeks ago | russh.com | Elyssa Kostopoulos

In 1969, when jewellery was beginning to loosen its grip on tradition and flirt with something freer, more sculptural, Chopard introduced L’Heure du Diamant. A collection that dared to dream in diamonds and dared to tell time like it was poetry. More than five decades later, that dream continues – delicately refined and presented anew in The Precious Hours, a 12-piece box set of jewel-like watches, each one a talisman for an hour of the day or a month of the year.
Vacheron Constantin's most complex watch is still ultra wearable

3 weeks ago | russh.com | Elyssa Kostopoulos

There are watches, and then there are worlds. In honour of its 270th anniversary, Vacheron Constantin invites us into two distinct horological universes – each a tribute to time, artistry, and the Maison’s eternal bond with Geneva. One is a celebration of cosmic complexity; the other, a poetic homage to place. Both are reminders that time, in the right hands, becomes art. Les Cabinotiers Solaria Ultra Grand Complication – La PremièreLet’s start with a record-breaker.
IWC Schaffhausen releases smallest Ingenieur ever at Watches & Wonders

3 weeks ago | russh.com | Elyssa Kostopoulos

I’ve always had a soft spot for the Ingenieur. There’s something about its unapologetic structure – the visible screws, the industrial bezel, the geometric grid of the dial– that feels both deeply considered and effortlessly cool. But for years, I’ve waited (somewhat impatiently) for IWC to offer a size more suitable for every day wear (at least for my small wrist).
Van Cleef & Arpels tells time through poetry at Watches & Wonders 2025

3 weeks ago | russh.com | Elyssa Kostopoulos

For Van Cleef & Arpels, time has never simply ticked forward – it shimmers, pirouettes, and whispers softly through enamel and gold. At Watches & Wonders 2025, the Maison returns to its Parisian roots with a presentation that reads less like a product showcase and more like an ode to imagination. From celestial choreography to feathered cupids and lovers mid-embrace, this is horology told through the language of dreams.
