Beirut-based jeweller Selim Mouzannar adores the city he calls home. Taking inspiration from the former Ottoman empire, its art and its architecture, his eponymous brand has become known globally for its intricate, stunning designs. For his latest collection, Fish for Love, the jeweller looked to the glistening scales of the fish in the Mediterranean Sea. Created using the ancient technique of enamel engraving, the pictured earrings, in a distinctive shade of deep red, are the result of multiple experiments Save up to 8% by shopping tax free, see page 84

BEST OF BEIRUT In summer 2019, Beirut-born jewellery designer Ralph Masri opened his first boutique.

After an international upbringing, Masri learned his craft at the prestigious Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London. He has since won various accolades, a success further reflected by the fact his fine jewellery designs are carried by key stockists worldwide. The opening of a boutique was therefore an obvious Save up to 8% by shopping tax free, see page 84

next step for the designer: located in downtown Beirut, the elegant new store is the perfect place to shop the brand’s rings, necklaces and more, including the new Heliopolis collection, which draws on motifs from ancient Rome. grc Ralph Masri, Weygand Street, Beirut Central District, +961 (0)1 334879, ralphmasri.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 48

BAGS OF STYLE Since the trend for woven accessories shows no sign of waning, what better bag to invest in than the pictured Loewe Hammock tote (small, 4,252,500 LBP)? Made of woven nappa calf and buffalo leather in tan with a removable, adjustable shoulder strap, the bag is defined by its unique shape. Founded in 1846, the luxury Spanish brand, which is currently led by creative director Jonathan Anderson, places a strong focus on craft and is known for its profound expertise in leatherwork.

This manifests in original, distinctive designs, as exemplified by the covetable Hammock bag. grc Loewe at Aïshti by the Sea, Antelias, +961 (0)4 717716 ext 209, loewe.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 61

TAKE POSSESSION Fans of Piaget are in luck, as Aïshti now carries jewellery and timepieces by the Swiss brand. Piaget was founded in Switzerland in 1874. Originally a manufacturer of components and movements, the company evolved over time to become the prestigious luxury watch and jewellery house we know today.

Highlights at Aïshti include designs such as the pictured Possession open bangle (25,641,000 LBP) made of 18-carat rose gold, brilliant-cut diamonds and malachite cabochons. The Possession bracelets – of which there are other variants, including ones set with chalcedony or carnelian – can be worn alone or together to elegant effect. grc Aïshti, 71 El-Moutrane Street, Beirut Central District, +961 (0)1 991111 ext 282, piaget.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 60 Save up to 8% by shopping tax free, see page 84

THE SCIENCE OF BEAUTY Augustinus Bader recently introduced The Body Cream (250,000 LBP). Designed to hydrate the skin, this latest product also has anti-ageing properties thanks to a trio of active ingredients. The brand’s patented TFC8 formula helps to reawaken skin cells and trigger natural renewal processes. It is combined with anti-irritant Brazilian candeia oil and nourishing shea butter. This new product for the body is a welcome expansion to the brand’s existing range of products for the face: The Cream and The Rich Cream. The skincare brand was founded by Professor Augustinus Bader, who worked extensively on regenerative treatments for burn victims before using his knowledge to create his eponymous brand. Like the previous two products, The Body Cream thus stems from thorough scientific research, to achieve effective results. grc

Look out for some exciting new openings: you’ll find home decor at Madame Coco and an assortment of fragrances at Royal Rose. This premier shopping destination also boasts an array of cafés and restaurants, including the recently opened Nasma.

There are plenty of activities for teens and children, such as CityKart, the first indoor karting venue in Lebanon, and the Treasure Island family entertainment centre. grc CityMall, Dora Highway, El Bauchrieh, +961 (0)1 905555, citymall.com.lb FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 70 Save up to 8% by shopping tax free, see page 84

SPIRIT OF THE MEDITERRANEAN Images d’Orient was originally based on a desire to celebrate the legacy of historic civilisations in a contemporary way. This meeting of ancient and modern is reflected in the new flagship store in Beirut. The sleek, refined space showcases the brand’s product range, which spans everything from coasters, placemats and trivets to tableware and larger objects for the home. These pieces, inspired by ancient Mediterranean cultures, make excellent gifts or souvenirs to bring back from Lebanon. grc Images d’Orient, 314 Liban Street, Achrafieh, +961 (0)1 331999, imagesdorient.net

A DREAM COME TRUE The autumn/winter collection from Alice and Olivia by Stacey Bendet stems from ideas of fantasy worlds and modern fairy tales. This translates into a vibrant look that is rich in both colour and texture thanks to the use of iridescent fabrics, sequins, beading and feathers. Prints are central to the range, including oversized butterfly and floral prints on dresses, kimonos and capes, and animal prints on sequined dresses, blazers and footwear.

Comprising everything from slogan T-shirts and jogging bottoms to tailoring and gowns, this otherworldly collection has something for all occasions. grc Aïshti by the Sea, Antelias, +961 (0)4 717716, aliceandolivia.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 61 Save up to 8% by shopping tax free, see page 84

DRESS to IMPRESS High-octane glamour makes Lebanese designs a fixture on the red carpet.

Rebecca Rhys-Evans introduces some of Beirut’s best bespoke

Sequin embellishment and embroidery, floor-length satin, thigh-high splits – features such as these radiate the sizzling elegance that characterises Lebanese bespoke fashion.

Lebanese style is a sophisticated, dynamic blend of Arab, Roman, Ottoman and Western influences. ‘Being on the Mediterranean, Lebanon is a link in the chain between East and West, and this has helped us from the beginning to merge arts and styles from both spheres,’ says designer Georges Chakra, who shows his collections at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week.

Beirut is much influenced by French architecture, food and design, so it’s no wonder that the French affinity with fashion is also reflected in the city, which is often

referred to as the Paris of the Middle East.

Internationally acclaimed designers such as Elie Saab, Mohammed Ashi of Ashi Studio, Zuhair Murad and Chakra himself are based in the Lebanese capital.

If Beirut is the Paris of the Middle East, then Hamra street is its Champs-Élysées.

Here you’ll find some of the best restaurants, theatres and, of course, boutiques that Beirut has to offer. ‘Where painting and sculpting have always been in the limelight, fashion is the art du jour, and more and more creatives are focusing their talents in this domain,’ explains Chakra. The maximalist, high-octane glamour of Lebanese fashion thrives on the red carpet.

Major names such as Elie Saab and Zuhair Murad count stars such as Beyoncé, Jennifer

Lopez and Taylor Swift among the fans who wear their designs to award ceremonies.

Elie Saab is probably the most famous Lebanese couturier. He started sewing at the age of 10, and launched his own label when he was just 18 years old. Fusing the modern silhouettes of Western design with the elaborate Middle Eastern flair for embellishment, Saab quickly became popular among royalty, including Queen Rania of Jordan, who wore one of his dresses for her enthronement. He was also the first Middle Eastern designer to dress an Oscar winner, Halle Berry in 2002, and the following year he was invited to join the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture, now the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode, the French organisation that administers the strict rules which govern couture. Today the Elie Saab label is a thriving empire that extends over fragrance, footwear and accessories, and has boutiques in London, Paris and Dubai as well as Beirut.

Georges Chakra also has ties to Hollywood, reflecting his A-list customer base. His autumn/winter 2019/20 collection paid homage

to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood’s Golden Age, and Hollywood heroines such as Rita Hayworth and Audrey Hepburn inspired the fabrics, colours and styles. Sumptuous duchess satin, opulent organza and embroidered tulle come in a variety of metallics, crafted into balloon sleeves and asymmetric lengths. ‘The brand and the collections every season are inspired by strong fierce women, who embrace the new and the innovative,’ he tells us.

Couture may appear to be the epitome of tradition, perfectly and predictably feminine.

Enter Ashi, a studio which brings Beirut style into a new era and plays with the concept of couture. Founder Mohammad Ashi takes the luxury fabrics and exaggerated silhouettes of couture and fuses them with modern trends.

Leopard print, shorter cuts, trouser suits and jumpsuits make an appearance in Ashi Studio’s autumn/winter 2019/20 collection, setting it apart from other Lebanese labels.

Lebanon is a place where two worlds meet, and this duality extends to its couture and bespoke fashion scene. While clients expect extravagance and elegance, it’s also vital to

stay fresh and marketable. Creative force and commercial appeal are equally important, according to Lebanese couture designer Zuhair Murad. ‘You can’t have one and not the other, but you have to find a balance,’ Murad told Vogue Arabia. ‘You simply can’t create all of your pieces just for the museum.’

Remaining in Beirut rather than migrating abroad to Milan or Paris is significant to Murad – as it is to many other notable Lebanese designers. ‘It is still my city,’ he says. ‘It’s an open city, it’s very close to Europe, and now, with social media, it doesn’t matter where you are – you can be from Honolulu and still reach an audience.’

With their show-stopping bridal gowns and award-winning dresses for the red carpet, Lebanese couture and bespoke designers bring a rich combination of traditions and cultures to the catwalk. Original designs, painstakingly handcrafted and perfectly fitted, mean that in fashion circles Beirut surely still deserves its title of the Paris of the Middle East Above (from left): Zuhair Murad; Georges Chakra, both autumn/winter 2019/20

VERSACE Harking back to its 90s heyday, the latest looks from Versace are impactful, print-heavy and striking. An ideal choice from the collection might be the silk shirt dress that boasts an opulent print combining flora, fauna, fruit and crowns in a bright colour scheme of pinks, reds, teals, gold, yellow and lime green.

Alternatively, if you want to go classic Versace, the black, white and gold skirt with ruched detailing and a statement safety pin recalls the daring dress made famous by actress and model Elizabeth Hurley in the 90s. sm Aïshti, 71 El-Moutrane Street, Beirut Central District, +961 (0)1 991111 ext 130, versace.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 60

2019 marks the centenary of Buccellati, which opened its first store in Milan in 2019. To celebrate with the time-honoured jeweller this season, adorn yourself with one of its elaborate creations. The Opera sautoir is a wise choice. This delicate necklace in pink gold with black onyx features floral embellishments on a chain strap that can be worn long or doubled up to create a multi-chain effect. Alternatively, the Étoilée pendant earrings in yellow and white gold perfectly channel the enduring trend for statement jewellery. sm Buccellati at Aïshti by the Sea, Antelias, +961 (0)4 717716 ext 353, buccellati.com
