Aston Martin debuted its new limited-edition, track-only Vulcan supercar at the recent Geneva International Motor Show. With an all-carbon-fiber monocoque and body and motorsport-inspired lines, the Vulcan’s design language may signal what is to come for Aston Martin’s next road-ready supercar (and the potential successor to the $2 million Aston Martin One-77). The British carmaker says the Vulcan’s 7-liter V-12 engine will deliver more than 800 hp to the rear wheels, making it the company’s most powerful…

Down the street from Gucci and Cartier, the St. Regis opens among Istanbul’s most high-end shops.

The recently unveiled McLaren 675LT is a restyled, more powerful version of the McLaren 650S that takes many of its visual cues, including its distinctive backend, from the legendary 1997 McLaren F1 GTR Longtail. The 675LT weighs 220 pounds less than the 650S, thanks to alterations made to a third of the original car’s parts. These changes make this two-seater the lightest car in its class and the most track-focused, street-legal model in the McLaren lineup.

With its modified twin-turbo V-8 producing 666 hp…

Breezier suits with a more fluid fit are gaining ground after several seasons of slim- to snug-fitting trousers and close-cut jackets. New designs from Ermenegildo Zegna, Ferragamo, Lanvin, Fendi, and Boglioli emulate the looser-fitting styles worn in the ’40s and ’50s—think sharply pleated, straight-legged trousers with a slimming high waist and suit jackets with broad (but not bulky) shoulders. Though relaxed, these designs never slack on style. Here are a few of our favorite new loose looks.<…

Looking for the perfect food? The one that meets all your nutritional needs, protects you against serious disease, is readily available and tastes great, too?

Sorry, it doesn’t exist. “There’s no one perfect food or diet that will guarantee 100 percent we won’t develop disease,” says Lynda McIntyre, a Johns Hopkins nutritionist. “But there is overwhelming research showing that the quality of foods we eat dramatically decreases our risks for disease.” Particularly if those foods are high in antioxidants…

Dunn-Edwards’s latest paint collection is more than 300 years in the making.

“There were so many great findings, it was hard to narrow down,” says Sara McLean, Dunn-Edwards’s color expert, who studied hundreds of photographs provided by…
