The hydrating effect is threefold: not only does the product help skin repair overnight, but it also brightens the eye area, reducing the appearance of dark circles, while antioxidants such as vitamin E help to defend the skin.

NEW CLASSICS Drawing on its roots, Tommy Hilfiger presents a menswear collection that radiates American spirit for autumn/winter 2018/19.

The brand’s archive serves as inspiration, seen in revisits of the Tommy Crest, which was first introduced in 1985. The brand’s instantly recognisable red, white and blue is a recurring colour scheme throughout the

collection, counterbalanced by designs that use a more muted, earthy military-inspired palette. Key Tommy Hilfiger pieces this season include fresh takes on classics such as rugby shirts and puffer jackets. grc Tommy Hilfiger, City Centre Beirut mall, Hazmieh, +961 (0)1 284073, tommy.com

GOOD TIMING The Longines Master collection, a fine example of the company’s watchmaking expertise, was introduced in 2005. This year the model has been updated and now features a brand new mechanical movement, the automatic L897 caliber, which can be admired through the clear case-back. The Longines Master collection also welcomes the addition of an annual calendar, located at 3 o’clock, that automatically adjusts to the different number of days in the month. This elegant timepiece comes with the choice of a steel bracelet or a black, brown or blue alligator leather watch strap. grc Atamian, ABC Verdun, Beirut Central District, +961 (0)1 256655 ext 222, longines.com

SPIRIT OF PARIS French labe Sonia Rykiel brand turns 50 in 2018 and the brand has marked the occasion with a number of events, including the launch of the Pavé Parisien bag, designed by artistic director Julie de Libran. With a rectangular shape reminiscent of a vanity case, this leather bag is both compact and practical. It can be carried with a top handle or a crossbody strap, while the inside features a handy mirror, three different pockets and a key holder. The Pavé Parisien is available in eight different shades, including yellow, red and the pictured brown (1,567,500 LBP). Pavé is the French for paving stone, a reference to the cobbles famously pulled up in the student protests that took place in May 1968, the year the brand was founded; the Pavé Parisien is a worthy celebration of the brand’s rebellious French spirit. grc Aïshti, 71 El-Moutrane Street, Beirut Central District, +961 (0)1 991111, soniarykiel.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 49

SHINING OUT For decades the Lebanese jewellery scene has been quietly, beautifully thriving. As Beirut-based jewellers produce more outstanding pieces than ever, their designs are now being recognised across the world. Lucinda Turner reports Left: Yeprem 2018 collection

L

ebanese women have long sought out the beautifully crafted, original jewellery made in the country. Now they are being joined by clients from across the world – including stars such as Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Rihanna and Beyoncé, all fans of Lebanese jewellery brand Yeprem. Founded in 1964 by Yeprem Chakademian, this family business took its most creative turn yet when the second generation, Chakademian’s three children,

came on board. Yeprem’s philosophy has always focused on creating pieces of jewellery that not only move in sync with a woman’s body but curve to fit it perfectly.

The brand’s striking hand bracelets and its rings that twist and turn around the whole length of a finger have become a signature look that keeps Yeprem’s loyal customers coming back again and again.

The brand’s collections are comprised almost entirely of white diamond pieces

set in white or rose gold. For those looking for a modern, architectural take on classic high jewellery, Yeprem is a brilliant place to start.

The brand’s offering is constantly evolving and changing to meet the demands of Lebanon’s most discerning customers. ‘The jewellery industry is a dynamic and a fast-growing one, therefore we continuously strive to develop ourselves and be responsive to trends, in order to craft distinguished and innovative designs,’ says Chakademian. ‘The Lebanese jewellery scene in the last couple of years has progressed and seems to have a bright future.’

It’s not hard to discover the brands who are spearheading that bright future. Launched in 2015, Gaelle Khouri’s eponymous brand has quickly become a name to know on the international scene, stocked in some of the most prestigious department stores in the world from Paris to London as well as on Net-A-Porter; but it is in Lebanon that Khouri’s creations come into being. Her high jewellery pieces take inspiration from the natural world, from delicate floral creations to quirky octopus diamond earrings; this is jewellery that refuses to take itself too seriously.

For her latest collection, The Next Perspective, Khouri joins Yeprem’s school

of thinking, creating pieces that work with the curves of the body and sit in beautiful yet unexpected places. Highlights include earrings that contour the ear from top to bottom; rings that fall from the thumb knuckle down to the wrist; and necklaces whose sculptural rings dance off the neck. ‘I’m fascinated by philosophy and the intangible realm of the mind and thoughts,’ says Khouri. ‘The Next Perspective uses circles that are layered and intertwined – much like the synapses of the mind – to form wearable pieces.’ This utterly modern aesthetic gives the pieces, crafted in rose gold and diamonds, a sense of intrigue that will undoubtedly make each one a talking point.

Ralph Masri is another Lebanese jeweller making sculptural statements. Having founded his own label in 2011, Masri has gone on to win multiple awards across the Middle East and has been picked up by international e-commerce platform Moda Operandi. His often colourful creations are the result of his love of both fine and fashion jewellery. Masri’s range offers quirky, striking designs realised in 18-carat gold set with precious stones such as emeralds, sapphires and diamonds. These are truly luxurious pieces, but made to be worn every day.

Though Masri’s designs appeal to an

Beirut’s varied jewellers are creating exquisite, daring and stunning pieces international audience, he is always keen to honour his Middle Eastern origins. With the brand’s Arabesque Deco collection, for example, symmetrical motifs seen throughout the architecture of Beirut can be seen in fine jewels, a fitting tribute to the jeweller’s home town. ‘Lebanon has always been at the forefront of design in the region,’ he says. ‘That is especially evident in the field of jewellery, which is fast evolving, with Lebanese designers leading the way.’

A stalwart of Beirut’s jewellery scene, Himo has been making beautiful jewellery for over 40 years and has 14 branches across the city. The brand is known for jewels for the significant moments in life, from engagement rings to 21st birthday presents.

In recent years, it has become dedicated to offering the innovative alongside the traditional.

The classic Middle-Eastern talisman bracelets and simple solitaire rings are still big sellers, but

the brand has also begun bejewelling some of Lebanon’s biggest stars for the Cannes Film Festival and creating exquisite one-off high jewellery sets for its most special customers.

Himo also focuses strongly on wedding jewellery. The Princess collection comprises elegant earrings, necklaces and rings featuring round brilliant diamonds set in 18-carat white gold. Whether worn with a stunning white gown from one of Lebanon’s many bridal designers or teamed with jeans and a T-shirt to make the ordinary extraordinary, the Princess collection is certain to be admired.

From new names to timeless brands and from the everyday to the exceptional, the Lebanese jewellery scene has something for every client. Beirut’s jewellers are creating exquisite, daring and stunning pieces and the world is taking notice

For those in search of good food, great atmosphere and fine wine, Beirut’s cool and contemporary Baron restaurant is not to be missed. Presenting Mediterranean cuisine with a Lebanese twist, chef Athanasios Kargatzidis is famous for his octopus, courgette and risotto dishes and the restaurant is known for attracting a stylish crowd. The menu is experimental and highly memorable, with a strong vegetarian selection that includes cauliflower garnished with tahini, walnut and pomegranate. Slow-cooked lamb shank, braised into melting tenderness over 24 hours, is served with creamy risotto. This is a perfect dining place for a group of friends or family, yet can be delightfully intimate for a couple.
