"   Photo: Richard Chai x Acura  There might be no other accessory that manages to be both consistently elegant and strong as the driving glove. Luckily enough, designer Richard Chai has taken a new spin on the glove with a collaboration with Acura. The gloves are in fact, also inspired by Thor. In the film, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents drive Acura cars, wearing sleek black suits reminiscent of Chai&amp;#039;s menswear, merging fashion and lifestyle one step closer. The Richard Chai x Acura black leather gloves, in fact, use a handsome pattern mimicking the car&amp;#039;s curves and interior. As a perfect Father&amp;#039;s Day gift, we can&amp;#039;t wait to get our hands on them. The gloves will sell for $225 at Odin New York beginning in June. ELLE caught up with Chai to get more details on the backstory. ELLE: What kind of feeling were you trying to evoke in your design?RC: I wanted to capture the spirit of the Acura TL car.
