I love this elegant overcoat which is part of the Billionaire Couture range. Comprising silk velvet double pockets and buttons with high cut arm holes. Pricing is around a cool £2,400 ($4,440).

If you’re a billionaire looking to improve your styling and image it might be worth investing in this suave double breasted, calf leather jacket with mink fur collar from Billionaire Couture. It’s an opulent piece of clothing with a price tag of £4,500 ($8,325).
Personally, I find the mink collar a little too overt, but the overall design is sumptuous.
If you’re a billionaire then you should at least look the part - at least that’s the idea behind Flavio Briatore’s Billionaire Couture designer label which aims squarely at the lucrative ultra luxury market. There’s no doubt that the range created in a collaboration between legendary Briatore and fashion designer Angelo Galasso is luxury personified, with hefty prices to match.
Just take a look at this beautifully crafted crocodile skin jacket, styled from blue leather with red calf leather piping, double pockets, high collar and flared sleeves. Really very nice but carrying the billionaire’s price tag of £18,500 ($34,225).
Keep you’re eyes peeled, we’ll be taking a look at more exclusive Billionaire Couture over the coming weeks.

The rich and famous tend to focus on a select few of exclusive jewellers for their bling. There’s the ubiquitous De Beers, Cartier and how about H Stern.
The sheer opulence of H Stern’s pieces has brought tabloid descriptions of “knuckle duster sized rocks on fingers” and oodles of “sparkle everywhere else”.
These comments are hardly surprising with H stern producing stunning pieces like this gorgeous cobblestone bracelet, available for a cool $25,095 (£13,565).
H Stern’s popularity has spread at a rate of knots amongst the elite, with jewelry frequently worn by heads-of-state, as well as celebrities like Lucy Liu, Eva Langoria, Teri Hatcher, Beyonce Knowles, Finola Hughes and Sandra Oh, to name just a few. Other custom designed pieces are frequently seen in films (including Austin Powers, Legally Blonde, Intolerable Cruelty).
If you’re looking for luxury home furnishings with an environmental conscience you may want to check out Eco Boudoir a new online boutique set up by graphic designer and art director Jenny White.
According to Jenny, her intention was to create sustainable, luxury homewares with “luxury and great style without being too eco, but also satisfying my conscience by designing products that wouldn’t harm people or the environment.”
