On a beautiful fall evening in Toronto’s vibrant Riverside neighbourhood, more than 100 entrepreneurs, business leaders and Canada Small Business 100 honourees gathered at the iconic Broadview Hotel for an evening dedicated to one of the most important forces shaping the country: small business. Hosted by GLORY Media in celebration of the inaugural Canada Small Business 100, the Mastercard Small Business Summit brought together an energizing cross-section of the Canadian business community.

The Lacoste Ace T1 sneaker arrived in Paris with the kind of theatrical clarity fashion rarely earns anymore, a literal tennis ball set into the heel, as if the house decided to stop hinting at its heritage and simply plant it underfoot. Unveiled at Lacoste’s Spring Summer 2027 show on Court Philippe Chatrier at Roland Garros, the gesture felt cheeky, precise, and surprisingly elegant, like a well placed drop shot.

There is a particular thrill in watching an institution refuse to fossilise. With Royal Oak Joaillerie, Audemars Piguet takes its most recognisable outline and asks a sharper question, what happens when the bracelet, not the dial, becomes the main character. It is not a costume change for the sake of a headline, it is a recalibration, the famous geometry softened into something tactile, almost liquid, without losing the watch’s cultivated nerve.

Jeremy Charles, Kyumin Hahn and Coulson Armstrong each cook in a different place and with a different set of ingredients. Charles has spent much of his career in Newfoundland, building relationships with fishermen, hunters, foragers and producers. In Denmark at his restaurant Kadeau, Hahn works with a four-acre farm, where vegetables can be picked in the morning and served at the restaurant later that day, while much of the harvest is preserved for use through the colder months.

There is something almost indecently fitting about Louis Vuitton Singer Art of Travel arriving at Monterey Car Week 2026, where the air tastes faintly of salt, sun warmed leather, and money spent with conviction. In a week built on provenance and posturing, Louis Vuitton and Singer Vehicle Design have chosen a quieter kind of flex, two bespoke Porsche 911s that treat movement as a craft, not a stunt. Yes, they are cars. But they are also objects of habit, the kind you live inside.

At the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival, few performances have generated as much anticipation as Andrew Scott’s in Elsinore. The acclaimed Irish actor steps into the role of Ian Charleson, the celebrated stage actor whose legendary 1989 performance as Hamlet unfolded while he was privately living with AIDS, creating a portrait of extraordinary artistry, vulnerability, and courage.

Minimal resistance, maximum impact is more than a slogan here, it is the point of view. The Audi A6 Sportback e-tron arrives with the kind of calm confidence that usually belongs to architecture, not automobiles. In a market crowded with loud gestures, the Audi A6 Sportback e-tron chooses something rarer, restraint that reads as power. It starts with the silhouette. The Sportback line is a long, clean sentence, no unnecessary punctuation, just a measured glide from bonnet to tail.

The Bentley Torcal arrives with the quiet confidence of a house that knows its own grammar. Not a pivot, not a panic, not a tech company costume. This is Bentley entering a new era with its cufflinks still fastened, and yet everything about the Torcal feels freshly cut, from the way its light hits the grille to the way its sound is staged like live music rather than a laboratory effect.

In motomorphosis, MSCHF does what the collective does best, it takes something over familiar and pries it open until you see the strangeness inside. The project begins with two Lexus vehicles, ends with full scale sculptures that behave like animated drawings made stubbornly real. One car is torqued into a closed loop, the other is pulled into a spiral, steel and paint performing the elastic logic of cartoons, except here the punchline is weight. That tension is the hook.

The Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph Serena Williams Limited Edition is the kind of celebrity collaboration that does not beg for attention, it earns it. Audemars Piguet has spent more than a decade with Serena Williams as an ambassador, and this 38 mm statement finally gives that relationship a named object with real point of view.
