Wheels – the Aston Martin DBS

The Roar of the Road

Pat Yeadon Shopping

You can spend a lot of time explaining what the Aston Martin DBS is and what it is not. Yes, it is James Bond’s new car, the most expensive vehicle in its small class (for now), and a little sudden looking. But it’s not the replacement for the aged hero Vanquish, an all-new vehicle, or a street version of the Le Mans-winning DBR9 racer.

Sweeping curves and dramatic celestial vistas at John Lautner’s iconic Elrod House accentuate the character of a new season of fashion.

Photography Scot. Shopping

Palm Springs Life raises a martini (shaken, not stirred) to 007 and the Bond girls who graced John Lautner’s Elrod House in the film Diamonds are Forever. The flowing architectural lines lead the eye from one beautiful space to the next. We revisit the scene to show off the form of so many fall fashions. Jackets have structured silhouettes, dresses accentuate the body with strong lines, and women once again look feminine and romantic, yet strong.
