The Richard Mille x Brough Superior is a limited edition of 150 motorcycles, available from the end of 2025 in three versions: Nocturnal Sapphire (midnight blue with blue details), Selene (matt grey with orange details) and Pearl of Speed (pearlescent white with red details). In the world of watchmaking, few names elicit a more divisive reaction than Richard Mille. The ultra-luxury producer has built an esteemed reputation for timepieces that push the boundaries of avant-garde design, taking functionality and style to their very extremes. For some, Richard Mille is the ultimate encapsulation of the modern horological endeavour, but for others, vivid colourways and intricate skeletonised dials are all just too much. In the case of high-end motorcycle manufacturer Brough Superior, however, Richard Mille is the perfect fit.

The brand famously sponsors a string of athletic pursuits, from being McLaren Racing's major partner to its long and storied love affair with regatta racing, but the Brough Superior venture charters a bold new course. And it's already proving fruitful. To mark the hard launch of their new relationship, Richard Mille and Brough Superior have unveiled the RMB01, a unique track-focused bike that fuses the spirit of the two great innovators. As you expect from Richard Mille, founder of the eponymous brand, and Thierry Henriette, CEO of Brough Superior, the new motorcycle does play up to aesthetic codes. The duo reportedly spent 18 months working on the design of the bike, conceiving 12 iterations before finally landing on the dramatic and thought-provoking final proof. Taut and muscular with a dynamic 'feline' silhouette, the same extensive skeletonisation characterises the RMB01 you would see on a Richard Mille timepiece.

Each component is optimised through precision machining and hollowed out, leaving only 23kg of finished parts from the initial 160kg of raw material. The result is an engine that is lighter and flexible for the demands of both track and everyday life. Admittedly, this approach has culled a little bit of power, with the RMB01 producing around 130 bhp; certainly nothing that will top a podium, but more than enough to keep the engagement levels high. Throw in the carbon chassis, which the manufacturer describes as a 'veritable self-supporting exoskeleton', and you've got a bike that feels very much faithful to the Richard Mille design aesthetic. Even the artifices have been removed to keep with the thematic elements. Entirely handcrafted in France, the RMB01 will be released as an exclusive edition of 150, individually numbered motorbikes. It will be available from the end of 2025 in three versions: Noctural Sapphire (midnight blue with blue details), Selene (matt grey with orange details) and Pearl of Speed (pearlescent white with red details). There is no official word yet on how much one of these bikes will set you back, but if they are priced in the same vein as Richard Mille's watches, you might want to get you loan application sorted.

Condo next door sues developer building tallest twin towers on Fort Lauderdale beach
Can you sue over a view? Alhambra Place, a condo tower in Fort Lauderdale with a view of the beach, is doing just that — alleging breach of contract and seeking more than $10 million in damages. For 24 years, residents of the 16-story condo tower at 209 N. Birch Road have enjoyed an unfettered view of the ocean. Then along came Selene, twin 26-story condo towers going up to the east of Alhambra Place. The project's design was substantially altered despite a development agreement the builder made with Alhambra's condo association in July 2020, according to a lawsuit recently filed in Broward Circuit Court. The lawsuit lists The Kolter Group and KT Seabreeze Atlantic as defendants, claiming they submitted a slew of plan revisions 'aimed at cutting costs and increasing profits' without the knowledge or consent of Alhambra's condo association. The revisions dramatically altered the exterior design of the project and were 'solely made to enhance (the developer's) bottom line,' according to the suit. 'It's a totally different project,' said Keith Poliakoff, one of the attorneys representing Alhambra Place. 'Alhambra had no idea. Some of those changes affect the view corridor for Alhambra.' The Kolter Group has not yet filed a formal response to the lawsuit. KT Seabreeze Atlantic is no longer in business, according to the lawsuit as well as state records. Bob Vail, a high-ranking official at Kolter, referred questions to Stephanie Toothaker, attorney for the developer. Toothaker could not be reached this week despite two texts seeking comment. Jim Novick lives on the 11th floor of Alhambra Place, where he serves as president of the condo association. In March, Novick said he noticed the towers going up across the street didn't quite look like the renderings he and his neighbors had been shown before construction began nearly four years ago. 'It was pretty far along when we noticed things didn't seem right,' Novick said. 'There was equipment in the way. When the cranes came down, I was like, 'Oh my God, that's not supposed to be there.' They took out the glass. They added more stucco to save money. They made the one balcony on the sixth floor bigger.' Novick says he contacted the developer with his concerns. 'I was telling them to take the balcony down,' he said. 'I told them my board's not going to be happy with this. See what you can do to fix these things. They said they'd get back to me on all these changes. And they never got back to me.' That's when the condo board decided to sue, Novick said. Selene's twin towers will be the tallest on the beach, rising 300 feet above sea level at 3000 Alhambra St. Residential projects built on that part of the beach have a height cap of 200 feet. But in late 2020, Fort Lauderdale commissioners signed off on special zoning that allowed the builder to go higher. An earlier design called for a shorter and blockier set of towers that would have stood 200 feet high, with nearly 100 more condos and three times the space for restaurants and shops. But residents at Alhambra Place preferred the developer build taller, thinner towers to help preserve their views. 'If they build a big giant box in front of us, it's the end of our universe,' Novick told commissioners at the time. 'We had one unit owner say, 'We'll never see the sun if they build this.'' The project won commission approval in October 2020. Less than two years later, the developer returned to the commission to request approval for what it called an administrative amendment to the approved site plan. Alarmed by the proposed changes, Novick said he flew down from his second home in Boston to speak at the July 2022 meeting and voice his objection. During the meeting, Toothaker told the commission her client was requesting changes to the project's dimensional standards and architecture. That night, the developer withdrew the request for changes related to dimensional standards and architecture, the lawsuit states. The only changes requested — and approved — involved a reduction in the number of condo units from 215 to 196; an increase in the restaurant and retail space by 500 square feet; and a corresponding reduction in private parking spaces from 497 to 480. 'I came back on July 4 from Boston, left my family, got on the plane and went down to City Hall to testify,' Novick said. 'And they withdrew the proposal. And I thanked them.' But the developer came back later on to ask city staff to sign off on several modifications identical to those that had been withdrawn at the commission meeting, the lawsuit alleges. 'They submitted changes and got them administratively approved by city staff with no one knowing,' Poliakoff said. 'City staff said they were minor modifications. These were not minor modifications.' On April 23, 2025, Alhambra's condo association sent the developer a notice accusing them of breach of contract. The notice claims several design changes were made in violation of the development agreement the developer made with Alhambra Place. Among them: 1. The elegant, round columns that floated outside of the façade at the L-shaped indented building corners were eliminated and replaced with a 90-degree building corner and integral corner edge column. The elimination of this feature detracts from its appearance and makes the building look wider. 2. The north façade of the east tower, level 5, was constructed with a balcony that extends well beyond the balcony line of the tower to the edge of the amenities deck. 3. West-facing level 4 of the east tower is constructed with large expanses of concrete, inconsistent with renderings that depict all glass and an open, unobstructed balcony. 1. The one-story spa extending from the west tower was reduced on the second administrative revision, adding about 30 feet more north-south open area. 2. The portion of the dog park west of the stair tower was eliminated and walled off from the reconfigured dog park. This is inconsistent with unit-view renderings. 3. The fourth level of the east tower is only partially glass, inconsistent with unit-view renderings that show an all-glass façade. 1. On the unit-view renderings, glass comprises between 65% and 70% of the west-facing podium façade's vertical section of levels 1.5, 2 and 3, but only about 47% as constructed. 2. The unit-view renderings show no exposed columns other than at the corners, whereas an exposed middle column was added to the constructed product. 3. The agreement calls for frosted glass on the west face of the parking structure. The actual construction appears to show tinted glass. The towers are expected to open later this year. 'Plaintiff believes that there are additional violations and defaults of the terms of the agreement and shall, hereafter, seek a complete inspection of the property,' the lawsuit says.

Mum goes viral for her ‘half naked' outfit choice at son's graduation, but insists she doesn't see a ‘problem'
She hit back at critics as she insisted she was "fully covered" in the ensemble DRESS CRITICISM Mum goes viral for her 'half naked' outfit choice at son's graduation, but insists she doesn't see a 'problem' A MUM has found herself going viral after sharing pictures with her son at his graduation. Selene took to Instagram to proudly post the pictures alongside her "kiddo", who wore his mortarboard and gown on his big day. 2 A mum has gone viral for the dress she wore to her son's graduation Credit: Instagram/@iamselenecastle 2 She turned to the side, which highlighted her curves even more Credit: Instagram/@iamselenecastle Alongside the snaps, she wrote: "I'm such a proud mama!! "My baby graduated at the top of his class! "I'm so excited to see what the future holds for you kiddo. "Sky is the limit!" She chose a bodycon black dress for the occasion, with the strappy number clinging to her figure and highlighting her curves. Selene also stood side on to the camera for the snaps, which drew attention to her derriere even more. She teamed the dress with a pair of black patent heels, and left her curly hair loose. And while many people offered Selene and her son their congratulations in the comments section on the Instagram post, others slammed her outfit choice. "His mum be half naked on here!" one raged. "Why would you embarrass your son like this?" another added. I'm a midsize 12 and I've found the perfect pair of jeans that suit all body shapes - they're so stretchy and affordable "You could have just congratulated him in person and kept the pics. "Take this down, you're humiliating him." "She stole his moment - why this dress for her son's graduation party?" a third commented. "She is irresponsible." "Poor kid," someone else said. "What the hell are you doing?" another shouted. What's the best style that suits everyone? ACCORDING to the fashion pros at Fabulous, there's a new style of dress that suits all body shapes. Low-slung, dropped-waist silhouette styles have surged, thanks to the Noughties fashion trend that has swept the catwalks, social media and, of course, the high street. First seen on the runways of luxury labels Molly Goddard and Jil Sander, the style typically cinches around the hip and pelvic area rather than the waist. Now a plethora of more affordable options of the dress that suits a number of body shapes have dropped just as the sun starts to come out. Clemmie Fieldsend, Fashion Editor, said: "There's something so stylish about these dresses, and I love them. "The simplicity of the top half teamed with the full skirt is like a sleeker and more grown-up tutu. "I have a short torso so the dropped waist makes my body look longer, but, thankfully, the long skirt means your legs don't look shorter. "Plus it means I can tap into the low-waist trend without baring all in a pair of low-slung jeans. "I know I'll be living in mine all summer, paired with black sandals and sunnies, but for now all I need is a blazer slipped over the top and a closed-toe shoe and I'm ready to go." Meanwhile, Fashion Director, Tracey Lea Sayer, added: "I remember dropped-waist dresses from the 80s. I loved them then and I still love them again now! "Forty years on from when they were first popular and I am not so sure they will be quite as flattering around my middle, because two kids and middle-aged spread later, my waist doesn't exist any more. "With a dress like this I can disguise my middle bit and still feel on trend for summer." As someone else said Selene's son looked "extremely uncomfortable", another called her "embarrassing". "Just had to do the side view, your poor son," someone lese commented. "Embarrassing," another shouted. "That youngster is gonna be made fun of his entire life for her poor decisions," someone else sighed. "I'm sure he's ashamed of being around you," another insisted. However, Selene hit back at the criticism, as she wrote: "I literally have a dress on all the way down to my knees, fully covered. "There was a lot of mums, aunties and grandmas wearing the same kind of dress. "But since I'm not a size 2 or shaped like a a square, it's a problem when I do it. OKAY!" And there were those in the comments who defended Selene, with one writing: "She can't help that she's fine, y'all lol!" "Nothing wrong with your outfit, you are beautiful," another added. "Slay it sis!!! You looks amazing!" a third commented. "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and you look like a proud and beautiful mum, dressed appropriately," someone else said. "You look amazing, congrats to your boy for his achievement," another agreed.
