Editor’s Letter

It’s becoming quite clear that winter is in its last breath. I have been carrying jackets but barely wearing them, and the chilly evening breeze is losing its power. This means it is time to welcome the spring and summer 2023 (SS2023) fashion trends with open arms in this part of the world. We bring a selection of the coolest colours, cuts and styles to embrace in the upcoming months.

The Doha Jewellery & Watches Exhibition 2023 ended recently and we bring a series of interviews with some of the greatest names in the field for an insight into their brands. Plus CHANEL’s latest timepiece creation. Our beauty spread has must-try products, scents and a pampering session at Mandarin Oriental, Doha. We also bring a glimpse of The Diplomatic Club Spa. The year is flying by – it’s time to press relax!

Homes trends are a thing – even though they are not as popular and frequent as in fashion – we bring some of the latest ideas in interior design.

In our travel section, we had a wonderful staycation at Maysan Doha LXR Hotels & Resorts, one of the newest properties in Doha. A perfect destination to de-stress and enjoy great food. Türkiye suffered enormously with the recent natural disasters that hit the country, but we travelled to Istanbul to support this beloved country and stayed at the marvellous Conrad Istanbul Bosphorus. This month we celebrate International Women’s Day and Mother’s Day, and there's nothing better than spending time with the fantastic women in our lives at a special dinner. Check out the Arabic spread at Zoufa, located at Al Samriya, Doha, Autograph Collection, if you are looking for local flavours.

Happy March!
