Renowned for our stylish edge with substance beneath, Marie Claire is your go-to for the hottest trends each season, but certain style pieces are timeless, returning again and again.
Think the little black dress, first made famous by the legendary Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's and now a style stapple in Jennifer Aniston's wardrobe, or the go-with-everything stiletto heel, modernised for the 20th century by designer Roger Vivier. Both combine that elusive quality and longlasting style that ensure they are as desirable today as they will be in years to come.
The new Polo mirrors these qualities, designed for understated elegance combined with a contemporary timeless feel. To celebrate its release, Volkswagen has created the Timeless 50 - a definitive list of desirable items across the categories of fashion, food, TV, design and music.
