World’s Biggest Luxury brands deepen the relationship with sports
Not many subjects in the world of aesthetics have made the morning headlines more impressive than the budding relationship between luxury and sporting brands.

With athleisurewear now leading the line, luxury design houses are increasingly churning out sport-inspired

products that are redefining the notion of contemporary fashion and breaking down formal wear boundaries.

It is a well-known fact that high-end fashion designs are typically influenced by intricate handcrafted details with elements of tailored options.

Thus, it might be surprising to learn that the likes of Prada, Hermès and Gucci,

among some of the most storied luxury fashion houses in the world, are switching gears and their approaches to sartorial styles.

These are brands with histories deeply rooted in creating utilitarian wear.

Collaborations like those between Gucci and The North Face seem to have disrupted conventions in the world of luxury fashion.

But athleisurewear is also very much in the frame, as it is in fact,

a trend that dates as far back as the founding of these renowned luxury powerhouses.

The golden child of the luxury-sport dynamics is Nike given its standing as the world’s most valuable fashion brand,

worth $34.8 billion.

The brand’s aura has already attracted Louis Vuitton, Balmain, Off-White,

Supreme or Comme des garçons, among others.

Tesla leads the pack as EV adoption switches gear
About $2.3 billion in sales profit has placed Tesla atop other historic automakers.

It turns out that many other automakers are struggling to maintain production rates due to shortages,

workforce reductions, and rising inflation.

But Tesla in many ways, appears almost unaffected, having gotten the lion’s share in sales.

Lovers of luxury cars are increasingly turning their attention to Tesla more often than other traditional luxury brands,

as evident in the first five months of 2022.

It is no secret that Tesla sales rank high in the EV industry,

and it also currently dominates the entire luxury vehicle market with the Model 3 and Y respectively.

The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the area of automobiles simply points to the fact that

the dominance of self-driving cars will soon be on the rise even in countries in Africa.

It is, for this reason, the phenomenal high-rise LucreziaBySujimoto is leading the charge in Sub-Saharan Africa to provide Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations.

It will be for the first time in Africa for a private building to embark on the monumental task of providing EV charging stations.

The Luxury real estate firm has stamped its name as the numero uno and pioneer of many Firsts in Africa by deploying not one (1), not ten (10) but over twenty (20) Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations.
It will give owners of electric cars the opportunity to contribute to the development of creating a clean and green environment.

Speaking on the importance of EVs, The Group Managing Director of Sujimoto Group – Mr Sijibomi Ogundele said, in line with the global community vision of creating an eco-friendly future,

“Each station will be equipped with Level 2 and 3 chargers with various capacity configurations ranging from AC to the superfast DC chargers and will accommodate the three plug types- CCS, CHAdeMO, and Tesla.

No other residential building in Africa, let alone Nigeria can boast of this.

It is our aim to champion the eco-friendly movement in Africa.”
