In the few decades since the brand’s inception, Lamborghini has had its fair share of ups and downs. It wasn’t until Audi took the brand over in 1998 that the Italian carmaker saw some dramatic shifts in future development. Though one of Germany’s finest took the company over, Lamborghini remains to be headquartered in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy. WIRED gives us an inside look at the original offices opened by Ferruccio Lamborghini back in 1963.

If you pre-ordered Jay-Z & Kanye West’s Watch The Throne album through www.watchthethrone.com, you’ve probably already gotten a link to the download.

Though we’re used to seeing big names like Jude Law represent Dunhill in their ad campaigns, the label’s gone down a slightly different route for the Voices campaign. They’ve enlisted ballet dancer Rupert Pennefather, theatre director Michael Grandage and expedition leader Sir Ranulph Fiennes, all of whom are well-known figures in their respective disciplines, to showcase their Fall 2011 product and speak about topics such as skill, intelligence, drive and the ability to be extraordinary.

I recently had the opportunity to stop in at GANT‘s West Village location on Bleecker Street. I was tipped off to the fact that though it’s not available online yet, the New York locations have taken limited stock of the label’s Homerun varsity jacket for Fall 2011. This one’s a killer, folks. If you thought last year’s offering was amazing, then we’re sure you’ll appreciate this one. It comes in bright red herringbone with cream leather sleeves. The shell’s broken in, too, as you’ll see marks and detailing on the sleeves that’s unique to each piece. It’s unlined and the fit is immaculate. I tried it on and instantly fell in love. You won’t see this jacket online for another two weeks but if you’re in the city, be sure to stop in and check it out. Leave a size Small for me though. Thanks.
