EDITOR’S MESSAGE Dear Readers, For those of you who left town for a change of scenery this summer, welcome back! If you haven’t realized yet, we’ve made some subtle changes here and there in the magazine – just a few refinements to make Haute Dubai even more of a pleasurable read. In this issue, we’re kicking things off with a little bit of innovation and entrepreneurship, and no one epitomizes that more than Elon Musk. Find out a few things you didn’t know about the man ushering in a new era of travel technology on page 14. With so much to celebrate in Dubai, we continue to spotlight the finest and classiest places. In this issue, we peek into Palm Jumeirah’s latest hospitality addition, Waldorf Astoria Hotel. And then there’s our piece into the sweet world of Laduree. Discover their newest delights with contributor Victoria Baker. In time for autumn, we have packed into this issue a heap of up-tothe-minute style inspiration, including the best haute couture collections for FW 2014, the year’s best fragrances for men, and a preview of the T Collection from Tiffany & Co., so be sure to give our Style pages a thorough flip-through. In the Travel section, don’t miss our roundup featuring five of the dreamiest hotels of the year. From the hustle and bustle of St. Petersburg in Russia to the idyllic Maldives’ atolls, these five hotels offer visitors truly captivating surroundings and unsurpassed luxury. Alternately, sail with us to Monaco to reveal some of the unspoiled jewels this famed billionaire playground has to offer, or sit back and relax as our usual line-up takes you through the latest in luxury yachting and motoring.
