EDITOR’S MESSAGE Dear Readers,
‘What is luxury?’ or ‘What makes something luxurious?’ are questions I hear time and again. I personally like to define luxury as a sensory experience that extends beyond the ownership of an object. It is the insight that enables us to discern, appreciate and enjoy fine things. Here at Haute Dubai, we wish to share the insight we gather with our readers and hope that our special sense of luxury resonates with all of you. In this issue, one of the luxuries we delve into is footwear, not just any footwear, but that of the French house of Berluti. Since 1895 each generation at Berluti has cultivated exceptional knowhow in the mastery of lastmaking and a deep understanding of footwear. The result is shoes of the highest craftsmanship and quality. In Style, you will come across both seasonal and inspired fashion finds, plus the latest in timekeeping straight from SIHH. We also talk to the ever so charming Robert Wan’s CEO for the Middle East, Audrey Tcherkoff, who provides her intimate insights on pearl farming and Tahitian pearls. Our dining pages visit Dubai’s latest culinary sensation, Coya. The restaurant exudes style and scope, making dining here a comfortably exotic experience. Finally, as we continue to settle into 2015, we look forward most to the open-air events and celebrations before the summer’s heat has baked the excitement and energy right out of the year. Above all, this year marks the 20th anniversary of the Dubai World Cup and our expectations couldn’t be higher. Enjoy the issue! Editorial Team
