SPIRIT OF SUMMER For spring/summer 2019, Chloé’s creative director Natacha Ramsay-Levi presents a collection that conjures up notions of freespiritedness and a modern hippie feel. Age-old fabrics such as silk, ikat, linen and plissé mousseline provide plenty of texture in a collection of dreamy dresses, tunics, light knits, flared trousers worn with twisted silk lariat belts and chunky mules. The new Chloé C bag is a must-have piece for the season, with its boxy silhouette and statement C-shaped hardware. The bag is presented in various sizes and colourways, from classic shades of beige and black to neon degradés. We particularly like the pictured version (1,627,500 LBP) in a warm shade of sepia brown. grc Chloé, Beirut Souks, Beirut Central District, +961 (0)1 991111 ext 580, chloe.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 49

Juliette Has a Gun recently unveiled the new Vanilla Vibes fragrance. This fresh scent sits at a meeting point of two opposites: the sweetness of natural vanilla and the mineral notes of sea salt. This encounter is evoked by the colour of the bottle design, which graduates from blue to amber. The French fragrance brand was founded by Romano Ricci, great-grandson of Nina Ricci, and is known for its distinctive fragrances, often with a playful concept.

This latest launch makes an exciting addition to your olfactory wardrobe. grc ABC Achrafieh, Achrafieh, +961 (0)1 212888, juliettehasagun.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 52 Save up to 8% by shopping tax free, see page 82

WEST-COAST ENERGY For spring/summer Hogan looked to Los Angeles for inspiration, with a strong focus on the city’s sunsets and its charged atmosphere at nightfall. Bright colours, an 80s feel and bold shapes run throughout the bags and footwear in the collection.

Among the season’s highlights, look out for

the Max I Active sneaker for women and the Active 1 for men, both of which seamlessly blend a sporty and a luxury look in quintessential Hogan style. grc Hogan, ABC Achrafieh, Achrafieh, +961 (0)1 611401, hogan.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 54

Most luxury fashion houses know how to create iconic handbags that find a place in history, and Prada’s distinctive new Sidonie is a strong contender for ‘It’ bag status. Defined by an elegant curving shape, the Sidonie is available in suede or leather, with a detachable and adjustable leather shoulder strap. The pictured model in black (4,762,500 LBP) would make a sleek addition to a wide range of outfits, from casual to chic. Pair with a tie-dyed skirt from Prada’s spring/summer 2019 collection for a winning combination. grc Aïshti, 71 El-Moutrane Street, Beirut Central District, +961 (0)1 991111 ext 132, prada.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 49 Save up to 8% by shopping tax free, see page 82

ONE TO WATCH PAOLA SAKR

Paola Sakr, a Beirut-based multidisciplinary designer, founded her studio in 2016, after studying product design at the Académie Libanaise des Beaux-Arts fine arts academy. All of her projects set out to make a positive contribution to the world, environmentally or socially – or simply by creating something beautiful.

Impermanence is a series of seven concrete vases made from discarded materials found on construction sites; Morning Ritual (pictured) is a collection of biodegradable containers, crafted from coffee grounds and newspaper; Quantum consists of clay vessels that evoke architectural constructions. Be sure to look out for this talented young designer when you visit Beirut. grc Vanina, Gouraud Street, Gemmayze, +961 (0)1 448173, paolasakr.design

This is a momentous year for Buccellati, marking 100 years since founder Mario Buccellati opened the brand’s first boutique in Milan – making 2019 the perfect opportunity to revisit some of Buccellati’s best designs.

The Ramage collection gained popularity in the 1920s; inspired by the flowering of the Renaissance, the jewellery in this collection features intricate branch and leaf motifs which are painstakingly created by hand. The pictured Ramage Heart pendant (14,041,500 LBP) in yellow and white gold with rose-cut diamonds is a fitting symbol of love and thus makes a perfect gift. grc Buccellati at Aïshti by the Sea, Antelias, +961 (0)4 717716 ext 353, buccellati.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 61 Save up to 8% by shopping tax free, see page 82

MILESTONE MOMENT

Middle Eastern designers have reinvented the clutch bag as a highly desirable art form. Fani Mari profiles the names to know If you are seeking a clutch bag that’s akin to an item of jewellery or a piece of art – an accessory that will take both day and evening outfits to a new level – then Lebanon is the place to look. Lebanese brands, along with labels from the country’s Middle Eastern neighbours, are reinventing the clutch and the results are highly desirable.

The roots of the clutch can be found in the minaudière, a small metal bag often carried on a chain; its invention is attributed to jeweller Charles Arpels of Van Cleef & Arpels. Arpels

was inspired in the 1920s by a stylish female friend who carried her essentials in a cigarette tin, and developed the idea into the concept of a ‘precious case’ just large enough to transport everything needed for an evening on the town.

Minaudières caught on, and prestigious brands such as Tiffany and Cartier have since created their own versions.

The next stage was the evolution of the clutch bag, with similarly compact dimensions, designed to be carried in the hand – hence the name. Today, entire brands specialise in the clutch, and have gained international followings for their witty, playful designs, which intrigue, amuse and delight, to the extent that some can be considered as works of art.

Beirut is a great location to discover new and up-and-coming brands that elevate the simple clutch bag to new levels, using artisanal techniques and embellishments such as semi-

precious stones to create products that stand out. Many designers that are based in or around Lebanon have amassed international followings for their statement, eye-catching styles. Brands to know include the eponymous label of Beirutborn, Dubai-based Nathalie Trad; Bahraini NS by Noof; Marzook, founded by a Kuwaiti brother-and-sister team and based in Beirut; and Sarah’s Bag, founded and headquartered in the city.

Nathalie Trad’s chic, tactile designs, many of which are beautifully crafted in stone, shell and metal, are a perfect example of the clutch as art form. Trad explains that she treats accessory design as a ‘puzzle’. ‘How do I take traditional shapes, ubiquitous in our everyday lives and radically transform them, deconstructing and recreating them from a new perspective?’ she asks. ‘I didn’t want to just create accessories, I wanted to create wearable sculptures that broke away from the mould.’

Noof Al Shekar, founder of NS by Noof, says that she aims to combine jewellery with fashion when she creates her clutches; she thus focuses her designs on geometric lines and sparkling chains. ‘I started by adding some framed semi-precious stones to leather clutches and this evolved into a geometric piece of art,’ she explains.

Marzook designs are versatile as well as elegant. ‘The Marzook bag is a special art piece carried daily or for special events,’ says Shouq Al-Marzook, the female half of the duo behind the brand, adding that one client who purchased a Lucid Classic, the brand’s bestselling transparent sphereshaped clutch, loved it so much that she sent the designers a photo of it securely strapped into her car with a seatbelt. ‘It is unlike other handbags – it is a showstopper piece when you add it to your outfit. It will turn heads and start conversations,’ says Al-Marzook.

Sarah Beydoun of Sarah’s Bag also pays tribute to the allure of the clutch. ‘Every woman should have a standout statement bag, a go-to piece that is striking and vibrant and can instantly uplift any outfit, from chic jeans to a favourite cocktail dress. That’s the power of a unique handbag, as it can be the most visible accessory you wear.’

Beydoun has focused on values as well as style ever since she launched her brand nearly two decades ago; her eye-catching designs are created in collaboration with an organisation that rehabilitates former women prisoners and other vulnerable women, giving them work, an income, and purpose.

Beydoun’s work isn’t just about beautiful looks, but also about supporting her community, and creating designs connected with local culture, using traditional techniques such as marquetry and beading, and characteristically Middle Eastern motifs. ‘I felt I was there to help and the solution I found was to empower these women by creating job opportunities for them,’ she recalls. ‘With the help of underprivileged women, we are creating luxuriously handcrafted handbags and accessories that are unique statement pieces.’

These brands have a common denominator: strong, independent female designers who treat bags as artworks for their equally empowered clients. If you are seeking a statement piece that will transcend the seasons with as much verve as a stylish piece of jewellery, a clutch from a Middle Eastern designer is a piece that you can carry with pride Above (from top): Marzook spring/summer 2019; NS by Noof Lulu mini bags; the Flapper Trio from Sarah’s Bag

GUCCI Gucci hails the 80s with its glam-rock inspired sneakers. The show saw models wearing heavy make-up, spikes, laced-up leather, denim and animal prints and these trainers are among the collection’s hero pieces. The chunky silhouette is bang on the footwear trend of the moment, as is the distressed ivory leather and the motif inspired by band T-shirts of the era.

Sneakers remain at the forefront of fashion, fusing both comfort and style; browsing the Gucci range in the prestigious Aïshti by the Sea collection of monobrand boutiques is a must.
