From the #Prada Broadway Epicenter, we got an exclusive first look at the next chapter of the @Prada and @Axiom_Space partnership. The two unveiled the next-generation Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment, the LCVG, that NASA astronauts will wear on the lunar surface for the first time in more than 50 years. The garment is built with seamless knitting technology, integrated cooling tube tunnels woven directly into the fabric, and redundant water lines for added safety. It is, in every sense, a Prada piece, precise, considered, and technically uncompromising, designed not for a runway but for the surface of the moon. At the panel, Lorenzo Bertelli, Chief Marketing Officer of the Prada Group, drew a direct line between this collaboration and the house's long history of pushing into unfamiliar territory. In the 1990s, Prada entered the America's Cup with Luna Rossa, and that adventure produced the Red Stripe, one of the most recognizable signatures in luxury. The same Red Stripe now marks the commander role on the Axiom space suit. Coincidence, Bertelli said, feels like too small a word for it. Russell Ralston of Axiom Space described the south pole of the moon as a genuinely extreme environment, sharp-edged regolith, plasma fields from solar winds, temperature differentials that Apollo never faced. This suit is engineered for all of it. Dr. Jonathan Cirtain, CEO of Axiom Space, put it plainly: the technologies developed here will one day benefit people who never go to space at all. Fashion and aerospace have never looked quite like this before. More on DSCENE: designscene.net/2026/06/prad…

In this week’s DORIC ORDER, Katarina reflects on New York Art Week as a city suspended between spectacle and saturation. Across fairs, openings, dinners, and institutional events, attention becomes the most valuable currency, endlessly exchanged, documented, and depleted. The week promises discovery, yet often leaves behind a strange sense of excess, where visibility moves faster than reflection. Doric examines how New York transforms during Art Week into a choreography of movement, performance, and social endurance, asking what remains once the crowds disperse and the urgency fades. "At Frieze, a woman stood in front of a James Turrell work and asked, angrily, “How do you buy this?” It was the most honest sentence I heard all week. She did not ask what it meant. She did not ask how it worked. She did not ask whether light could become architecture, or whether perception could become material, or whether the viewer’s body completes the work. She went straight to the hidden question underneath the entire week. How do you buy this?" For the full story head over to designscene.net/2026/05/new-…

House 720 Degrees Turns Architecture Into a Living System - See more here: designscene.net/2026/01/hous… House 720 Degrees, designed by Fernanda Canales, is conceived as an architectural device rather than a conventional home. Located in Valle de Bravo, the project doubles the logic of 360-degree vision, creating a spatial system that responds to time, movement, and the shifting relationship between interior and exterior life. The house functions as both shelter and instrument, registering daily and seasonal change through its form. Photo credit Rafael Gamo

In this week’s ‘DORIC ORDER,’ Katarina Doric reflects on a week in Tulum not as a restful escape, but as a lesson in who gets access and who doesn’t. What sells itself as serenity and connection is really an economy of curated calm, gated shorelines, and invisible price lists. In Tulum, paradise is photographed more than shared and the locals who live beside it often never step onto the beaches they maintain. Doric unpacks how eco-conscious branding and boho chic aesthetics mask unequal access, extractive tourism, and luxury priced out of community purpose, revealing that beach culture can be a mirror for global inequality itself. "I left Miami in a daze. Art Week had swollen into its usual swirl of commitments, openings, dinners, and obligations disguised as opportunities. Every year I think I’ve learned how to pace myself, and every year the same thing happens: I burn out on the first day, push through the rest, and spend the final night scrolling through photos I barely remember taking. It’s a ritual of overexposure. By the end, the only thing I wanted was quiet, an uncomplicated week where nothing required a guest list or a press badge. So I booked Tulum, imagining hammocks, cheap tacos, and a beach that didn’t demand anything from me. The irony, of course, is that Tulum turned out to be its own kind of stage, just one with sand instead of concrete" For the full story head over to designscene.net/2025/12/beac…

This magical hotel in #Budapest - discover #WBudapest with #DSCENETravel team, review by @zarkodavinic - W Budapest Travel Review: Budapest is fast becoming one of Europe’s most exciting hidden gems - a city overflowing with architectural wonder and creative energy, yet still delightfully under the mainstream travel radar compared to spots like Paris or Rome. Those who venture here quickly realize that Budapest rewards the curious at every corner, from its majestic boulevards and historic buildings to its dynamic cultural scene. The best way to experience this captivating city? By immersing yourself right at its core, in a place that does more than just offer a bed for the night—one that truly connects you to Budapest’s rich story. That’s where W Budapest comes in. As the city’s newest luxury hotel, it’s all about celebrating the past, embodying local spirit, and ensuring your stay is every bit as unforgettable as the city itself. A Legendary Address on Andrássy Avenue W Budapest sits on the iconic Andrássy Avenue, Budapest’s most dazzling boulevard and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The hotel is housed within the historic Drechsler Palace, a building that’s seen everything from luxury residencies to the home of the national ballet. After many years of standing empty, the palace has been brilliantly restored and reimagined - each element, inside and out, pays homage to Budapest’s grand architectural tradition. It’s located right opposite the beautifully renovated Budapest Opera House, rivaling the glamor of Paris’s Opera Garnier and giving guests front-row access to the city’s magnificent history. Signature Style with Marriott Bonvoy W Budapest proudly joins the Marriott Bonvoy collection, bringing the brand’s signature flair for innovative design, lively sophistication, and top-tier hospitality to Hungary for the first time. The hotel boasts 151 chic rooms (including 45 uniquely styled suites). The fifth floor draws inspiration from the palace’s wooden rooftop, while the WOW and Extreme WOW suites are modern tributes to Swan Lake - one strikingly black, the other all white. Throughout, the interiors strike a perfect balance between contemporary comfort and respect for the building’s remarkable heritage and Budapest’s vibrant character.
