FIRST CLASS

A century ago, flying in an aircraft made of canvas and wood hardly seemed a luxury. Then, in 1919, German engineer Hugo Junkers designed the first —all-metal passenger plane, transforming air travel forever. Sheathed in a corrugated-aluminum skin, the Junkers F13 revolutionized aviation and became the mother of all commercial aircraft. Only a handful of original Junkers FI 3s remain, grounded in museum collections, but now, nearly a century after its birth, the legend takes flight again.

Rimowa, the German luggage brand known for its grooved-aluminum suitcases, has replicated the Junkers F13 for modern flight. In September, the first replica took its maiden voyage, in Switzerland, and reborn F13s are currently available for pre-order. Starting at $2.5 million, the planes look almost identical to the original, with some added seat belts. The aircraft's corrugated fuselage, a Junkers hallmark, echoes the suitcases' trademark exterior, and the open-cockpit six-seater has a customizable leather interior. Fashionable flying is back, with wings to match your luggage.

A massive Rolling Stones retrospective, 'Exhibitionism," opens this month in New York s West Village, at Industria, after debuting at the Saatchi Gallery, in London.

The exhibition features more than 500 artifacts from the band's half-century reign as rock royalty, showcasing prized guitars, iconic stage outfits, and backstage glimpses, including this photograph of Keith Richards from the Tour of the Americas 75.
