The two companies continue to grow their wearables lineup with new products revealed at Meta Connect.
EssilorLuxottica and Meta Platforms, Inc. showcased the evolution of their celebrated partnership at Meta Connect, where they unveiled the next generation of AI glasses. Expanding on the groundbreaking category of products they’ve introduced to date, including Ray-Ban Meta, the #1 selling AI glasses in the world, and the more recent launch of Oakley Meta HSTN, the newest glasses heading into the market will raise the bar to a new level in terms of style, functionality and human connection.
Building on the initial success of Oakley Meta HSTN comes Oakley Meta Vanguard, a new line of AI glasses introducing the world to the era of Athletic Intelligence. Available in four color options, Oakley Meta Vanguard combines Oakley’s signature PRIZM lenses with a powerful 12MP ultra-wide camera (122° field of view), high decibel open-ear speakers, and advanced wind noise reduction, perfect for running down a noisy road or biking through 30 mph winds. Optimized for comfort during long workouts, the glasses are compatible with cycling helmets and hats, and are built to endure harsh elements with IP67 water and dust resistance, handling sun, snow and dirt with ease. The integration of Garmin and Strava gives athletes real-time personalized performance insights and with up to 9 hours of typical mixed-use battery life (plus an additional 36 hours via the charging case), Oakley Meta Vanguard is made to last through your entire marathon or century ride. And they’re designed with swappable Oakley PRIZM lenses, so you can customize your look and optimize for various lighting conditions. Pre-orders for Oakley Meta Vanguard are available today for 499$ (549 EUR) on Oakley.com and Meta.com.
In addition, EssilorLuxottica and Meta unveiled the next generation of Ray-Ban Meta. Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) comes with an extended battery life of up to 8 hours, an ultra-wide 12MP camera that now captures high-quality 3K ultra-HD videos with precision and clarity, and an expanded palette of styles and colors, all of which can be outfitted with individual prescription lenses, including Transitions Gen S lenses. Ray-Ban Meta continues to get better and more capable over time with regular updates and new features. At Connect, Meta revealed Conversation Focus, a new feature coming soon that uses AI glasses’ open-ear speakers to amplify the voice of the person you’re talking to, helping distinguish it from ambient background noise in cafes and restaurants, parks, and other busy places. Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) is available today starting at 379$ (419 EUR) on Ray-Ban.com and Meta.com.
The most future-forward product to come from their collaboration is Meta Ray-Ban Display, which combines the world’s most popular AI glasses with an integrated display for the first time. The glasses feature a built-in, full-color visual display in the right lens that discreetly shows wearers incoming messages, previews of photos to capture, video calls, and visual AI information like step-by-step instructions. Customers can order Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses with their own unique prescription, and each pair comes fitted with Transitions lenses. The display glasses come with the Meta Neural Band, an EMG wristband that enables you to control the glasses with subtle hand and finger movements. EssilorLuxottica’s decades of R&D in advanced lens technology paired with Meta’s hardware breakthroughs and leading AI capabilities provide a new window into the world in front of us. Meta Ray-Ban Display is available at select brick-and-mortar stores in the U.S. on September 30, starting at $799 USD, with expansion to Canada, France, Italy, and the UK planned for early 2026.

global lifestyle brand GUESS brought a taste of Italy to the streets of Manhattan during New York Fashion Week with the debut of Caffè GUESS, an exclusive VIP pop-up experience blending fall fashion, food, and fun. Located in the heart of Chelsea Arts District at 530 W 25th St., the activation welcomed guests including Love Island’s Ekin Su, racing driver Lindsay Brewer, The Bachelor franchise’s Katie Thurston and Caelynn Bell and more.
Guests were transported into an Italian-inspired caffé setting complete with coffee, gelato, and exclusive gifts – offering an escape from the Fashion Week rush. Attendees also enjoyed live fashion illustrations, a branded vintage photo booth, and an up-close look at key pieces from the latest Fall 2025 collection. The highlight of the experience was the debut of the Camden handbag, available in multiple colorways, alongside the brand’s signature denim staples and new ready-to-wear pieces.
Later in the day, the brand opened its doors to the public on Saturday, September 13th, and again on Sunday, September 14th. The pop-up marked another successful moment in GUESS’ ongoing series of immersive brand activations, following recent experiences in Miami, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. The brand continues to strengthen its connection to communities worldwide through innovative events that combine fashion, lifestyle, and cultural touchpoints.
Newly unveiled few-off Fenomeno showcased alongside full model line; Miura and 350GT among the highlights of the Classic Car Concours
During Monterey Car Week 2025, Automobili Lamborghini opened the doors of its private Lamborghini Lounge Monterey to VIP guests, offering a fully immersive experience in Italian design and automotive innovation. The new Fenomeno, the few-off that debuted at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering on Friday, August 15, was displayed at the Lamborghini Lounge in a Giallo Crius colored exterior. Launched in only a limited quantity of 29 units, the Fenomeno represents the pinnacle of performance and brand exclusivity.
At the Lamborghini Lounge, the brand exhibited its full model lineup, including the Urus SE, the first Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) version of the luxury Super SUV and the most versatile and fun-to-drive in its class; the Revuelto, the first High-Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV), delivering 1,015 CV and setting a new benchmark for hybrid super sports cars; and the Temerario, the all-new successor to the iconic Huracán, featuring a new V8 engine capable of revving to 10,000 rpm.
The Ad Personam design studio offered guests the ability to explore the extensive possibilities of Lamborghini customization. Showcasing the broad range of colors for which Lamborghini is known, the space housed elements such as leather swatches, exterior paint samples, rims and brake calipers – offering a tactile experience of the bespoke elements available when designing a dream car.
Sonus faber, the renowned Italian designer of hand-crafted speakers, launched the next chapter in their partnership with the debut of Il Cremonese Ex3mme – Automobili Lamborghini Edition. For the first time, the emotion of the Italian super sports car and the soul of the Italian sound converge to deliver an unparalleled listening experience in the home. With only 50 individually numbered pairs available, the limited-edition II Cremonese is offered in five iconic Lamborghini finishes.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Polo Storico, the Lamborghini Lounge featured a special Miura P400. Originally delivered in 1968 through the Bologna dealership in green with mustard colored cloth interior, the car was repainted in Arancio Miura (orange) after an accident in 1971, a color it still wears today. Exported to the United States in 1972, it remained with the same owner for forty years before undergoing light restoration in 2012 under its current ownership. Certified by Lamborghini Polo Storico in 2023, the car represents the iconic Miura, widely regarded as the first true supercar, and is one of only around 200 vehicles worldwide to have received official authenticity certification from the company. Guests also enjoyed sweet bites and refreshments at the Polo Storico Café, served from a vintage Vespa gelato cart.
With an unmatched tradition of automotive excellence since 1950, the 74th Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance brought together auto enthusiasts from around the globe to watch style icons, innovative prototypes and racing greats compete for the top prize in the collector car world. The Lamborghini Fenomeno was a highlight of the Concept Lawn, which annually spotlights the most anticipated concepts of tomorrow. Both Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Automobili Lamborghini, along with Design Director, Mitja Borkert, served as Honorary Judges in Sunday’s ceremonies, a special role they were eager to return for again this year.
That same day, two historic Lamborghinis stood out in the classic car concours, both brought by their owners. One was a 350GT in grigio medio (medium grey) with tobacco leather interior, delivered new in 1965 to the Jake Kaplan dealership in the United States and still preserved in its original configuration. The other, a Miura SV originally finished in Rosso Corsa (red) with black interior and delivered in 1971 in Milan, has just completed a full restoration in Italy, where it was repainted in metallic green. During Sunday’s Concours d’Elegance, the Miura SV was awarded 3rd place in the Postwar Sport Touring class.
Both vehicles hold a Certification of Authenticity issued by Lamborghini Polo Storico, a document granted following thorough historical research and check. Proudly presented by their owners to the judges during the event, these certifications are a testament to the cars’ authenticity and a key reference in preserving the brand’s heritage.

When asked about “Kinda Girl,” Kyra says:“Kinda Girl is about that rush of teenage love that keeps you blushing—the kind you don’t want to admit, like a guilty pleasure. I’m not really someone who’s easily entertained, especially by men, so when someone actually gets my attention, it makes me start to think. You start learning new things about yourself when you’re falling in love.”
These latest singles and her EP announcement follow the release of her three-track bundle which included tracks “Speed” (listen here/watchhere), “Shibuya” (listen here/watch here) and “Connect” (listen here/watch here). Each song highlights her aesthetic of music that intertwines future pop vibes with various productions and beats, which are a perfect introduction to Kyra’s world and sound. This past year, Kyra attended the 4th Annual Gold House Gala, bringing together Asian Pacific American stars, industry leaders and more to celebrate their excellence. She also attended Mark Daftari’s class at Millennium Dance Complex in LA, where he taught choreography to “DNA.”
Born and raised in Japan, Kyra signed with a Japanese label at 14 years old and after years of hard work and persistence, her journey brought her to Los Angeles to continue to pursue her goals and passion with her music. With musical influences such asGwen Stefani, Pussy Cat Dolls, Lady Gaga and Fergie, Kyradescribes her sound as “playful yet sexy and confident vocal tone layered over club/electronic influenced production.” She’s done various campaigns early on in her career already for fashion and car companies including Converse, Skims, Nike Air Max, Mercedes Benz and more. Now with the release of music that represents her and her artistry, Kyra is ready to be at the top of everyone’s future pop playlists.
Listen to “Kinda Girl” and pre-save Kyra’s forthcoming debut EP Blonde out October 3rd.
‘After Man Down, you gotta Man Up. I’ve been watching the climate of the culture lately, and I see a lot of overly sensitive people out there. I felt like it was time to share some street knowledge about what it really means to stand up and man up in a way that speaks to responsibility, resilience, and truth. This project is the right message for the times we’re living in because everybody’s being tested. And when life tests you, you either fold up or you Man Up.’— Ice Cube
Entertainment mogul, entrepreneur, legend, and hip-hop icon Ice Cube returns with his 12th studio album, Man Up, out now via Lench Mob Records/Hitmaker Distribution on all digital streaming platforms. The 14-track set, executed by Ice Cube and executive-produced Tony Draper, follows last year’s critically acclaimed, chart-topping Man Down, and reaffirms Cube’s place as one of hip-hop’s most fearless truth-tellers and cultural commentators.
Man Up pairs unflinching lyricism with Cube’s signature West Coast grit to confront misconceptions and demand accountability—from institutions, communities, and ourselves. The project is a powerful social commentary that speaks directly to a moment where everyone is being tested, challenging listeners to rise, not retreat.
Highlights include the lead single, “Before Hip Hop,” a powerful statement track rejecting the lazy narrative that blames rap for systemic problems that predate the genre; “Act My Age” featuring Scarface, a generational summit meeting of rap royalty; “California Dreamin,” which flips Patrice Rushen’s “Forget Me Nots” into a sun-baked West Coast reality check; and “It’s My Ego 3Mix” with Nova Scotia’s Quake Matthews, winner of Cube’s viral fan-verse challenge—pulling fans directly into Cube’s creative process.
The release of Man Up arrives as Cube readies his Truth to Power: 4 Decades of Attitude tour, celebrating 40 years of groundbreaking music. Kicking off Tuesday, September 16, in Denver, CO, the run will showcase new music alongside timeless classics including “It Was a Good Day,” “Check Yo Self,” and “You Can Do It.” Tickets for the tour are available for purchase at Ticketmaster.com.
“I’ve always stood on speaking truth to power and making music that reflects reality,” says Ice Cube. “Man Up is about accountability, resilience, and reminding people where the real problems come from. Hip hop didn’t create the struggle — it gave us the language to call it out.”
