Vision MercedesMaybach 6 Cabriole AUTOMOTIVE HAUTE COUTURE

S PA P R O F I L E

South Kensington Club

S PA P R O F I L E

South Kensington Club

The glamorous Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet cabriolet reinterprets classic, emotional design principles in an extravagant way and combines intelligent beauty with classic, aesthetic proportions and a reduced, technoid appearance – a perfect embodiment of the design philosophy of Sensual Purity. THE VISION MERCEDES-MAYBACH 6 CABRIOLET IS A CAR WHICH, WITH ITS SENSUAL, EMOTIONALLY APPEALING DESIGN AND INNOVATIVE TECHNICAL CONCEPT SOLUTIONS, DEFINES THE ULTIMATE IN LUXURY OF THE FUTURE. At the same time the two-seater model pays homage to the glorious automotive haute couture of handfinished, exclusive cabriolets. Measuring almost six metres in length, the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet incorporates the classic proportions of art deco design with its extremely long bonnet and puristic, flowing lines, and at the same time completely reinterprets these aesthetic principles.

Exciting contrasts

The strong contrast between the dark blue paintwork in ‘nautical blue metallic’ and the chrome highlights increases the fascinating

relationship between the clearly defined areas with organically shaped wings and the chrome trim elements. This benefits the interpretation of the Mercedes-Maybach radiator grille, which with its fine, vertical struts accentuates the front end. The grille was inspired by a pinstriped suit. The extended, round ‘boat tail’ format of the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet’s rear recalls a luxury yacht, and narrow tail lights which emphasise the width of the vehicle are integrated in its outer edges. Crystal white high-quality nappa leather creates an exciting contrast to the dark paint finish. The custom-made fabric top with interwoven rose gold threads has been perfectly coordinated with the look of the vehicle.

design. The formal flow of the areas from the rear into the interior gives rise to a typical yacht feeling. A light wing flows in a curve across the door trim and the centre tunnel into the seat landscape, creating a 360° open-air luxury lounge. Above the 360° luxury lounge, the display strip links doors, dashboard and the rear area. All display elements are integrated into the continuous glass trim

part. By way of contrast, classic round dials are positioned prominently. As a classic borrowing from aviation, three air vents are positioned beneath the wing, which appear to float like engines.

Luxury experience

In addition to the flowing contours, the material composition produces a luxury experience of the highest order. Here, too, the interplay of the contrasts is both hot and cool. The brand’s hallmark authentic materials and colours are used, such as rose gold on the trim elements, or the surfaces which come into contact with the skin, featuring a lavish, quilted crystal white nappa leather finish. In this luxury technique, familiar among other things from Chesterfield furniture, the leather is put into folds in a diamond pattern and secured to the frame with buttons.

In the case of the Vision MercedesMaybach 6 Cabriolet, this traditional seat upholstery boasts a futuristic interpretation: each individual button of the quilting depicts a delicate Mercedes star, backlit in blue.

Another highlight comes courtesy of the floating, transparent centre tunnel, which visualises the drive system’s electrical energy flow for the passengers by means of blue fibre optics.

t’s about connecting with people, being social and feeling like you belong. If people feel like they belong, they tend to come back,” says Kalista Badenhorst, wellness manager at exclusive West London members’ venue the South Kensington Club (SKC). The club, which opened in March 2016 and offers its nearly 1,000 members wellness, fitness, food and socialising under one roof, is a compact, warm and elegant city escape in the heart of London. A project driven by founder and owner Luca Del Bono, SKC blends elements from Del Bono’s native Sicily, including healthy and robust Italian food, with a Russian influence most prominent in the banya experience at the centre of the wellness offering. Luciano Mazza, director of hospitality architecture at global architecture firm HKS, which worked on the redevelopment of the club, agrees it was important to create an informal environment. “We were trying to achieve something special, but in a homely atmosphere,” says Mazza, who was the lead architect on the project. “It’s a sophisticated atmosphere but we wanted people to feel comfortable. This is perhaps a phrase that’s used too much but it was about creating a ‘home away from home’. For them to feel relaxed: you can be in your trainers or you can be elegant and have a cocktail and either is OK.”

Left and above: The Russian banya that is central to the South Kensington Club’s wellness experience, complete with treatment cabins, a warm pool and a cold plunge pool.

Wellness warmth

The SKC building has quite a history. Most recently home to the Harrington Club, a party-centric celebrity favourite co-owned by the Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood, it at one point also housed Pineapple Dance Studios. Part of the building was at an earlier stage a church; you can still see the original church windows in the gym on the top floor, and the bathhouse (banya) is situated in an extension that was once the studio of the painter Francis Bacon. 60

FIT FOR THE FUTURE

PROJECT

“The market expects you to know your level of exposure immediately following a major event – such as a flood or earthquake. GAIA successfully enables this because it lets us consider the big picture, using all the data that it is available”

GAIA S

ince the third quarter of 2010, GAIA – a state of the art geo-enabled database system for storing data drawn from across the RSA Group and named after the Greek goddess personifying the Earth – has been up and running in many countries. These include Canada, the UK, Ireland, Italy, Scandinavia, Colombia and Chile with the intention that GAIA will eventually be adopted by all the countries in which RSA has a presence. Indeed 2011 is a big year for the implementation of GAIA, with the remainder of Latin America Region targeted for Q2, Central and Eastern Europe for Q3 and Asia-Middle East, in Q4. As Dave Grant, Group Property Portfolio Director points out, GAIA represents a major step forward in helping RSA better understand its global levels of exposure, having a better grip on measuring accumulation of risk and assisting in purchasing the right level of reinsurance, in the right areas. “The market expects you to know your level of exposure immediately following a major event – such as a flood or earthquake. GAIA successfully enables this

because it lets us consider the big picture, using all the data that is available,” he says. GAIA development was actually deferred a few times, not because its need wasn't recognised but because as Dave puts it, “managing a database doesn't always seem such a priority to spend money on” compared to other higher profile projects. The need for a single view on our exposures became more apparent after a number of catastrophic events. In the wake of 9/11 it emerged that, unknowingly, RSA had underwritten two policies – from separate offices – for Silverstein Properties, owners of the Twin Towers, as well as numerous other policies for tenants in the complex. Hurricane Wilma in 2005 again revealed our exposure to be larger than anticipated following a change in strategy and portfolio mix in Mexico, but inadequate recording of data meant reinsurers were unaware of this change.

DAVID GRANT

In the UK, RSA has used geographic information systems for sometime. However, this is the first time that a single view has been created, enabling RSA to show and analyse all risk exposures on a map.

62 Skincare

It is one thing to underwrite a risk, quite another to know exactly where the risk that you are underwriting is located or how many other risks the Group has underwritten in the same geographic location. Without this information it is hard to know how much capacity to use for the risk or over time how all these underwriting decisions could impact on risk appetite. At last though, help is at hand.

Russell Dickerson, Technical Underwriting Manager, International, says the effectiveness of good location data was proven following the December 2005 Buncefield oil storage depot explosion, one of the largest in recent European history. Previously RSA would have spent days determining its level of exposure; instead by using geocodes (essentially the latitude and longitude coordinates) to identify exposures, we knew pretty well almost immediately who may be affected and made an estimate of the potential exposure. “There was also a wider regulatory issue: insurers need to know where their exposures and risks are. GAIA is still being rolled out through RSA but we can now look at approximately 1.5 million risk locations worldwide,” says Russell. He adds that although Underwriting derives most use from GAIA to measure exposure and accumulation across our Property, Construction, Engineering and Marine portfolios it can have many other purposes – post-event response (as mentioned above) and even marketing.

16 TECKNOW ISSUE SEVEN JUNE 2011

In the future, Dave believes the geoenabled data will enable it to be used to investigate claims fraud and of course enable RSA to purchase more accurate reinsurance protection. To accompany the rollout of GAIA, the EML (Estimated Maximum Loss) rules were updated with an accompanying training programme. So far this has been delivered to approximately 150 Underwriters and 120 Risk Control Consultants.The training consists of a two day course comprising a wide range of theoretical and practical accumulation exercises, assessments of EML and much more practical and theoretical studies besides.

63 Skincare

Tecknow Issue 7:Layout 1

“Some of the EML practical sessions and the recent earthquake in Japan illustrated how important it is to have all our exposure data in one place, but they have also illustrated some of the gaps in our recording of data,” says Dave.

Saving

He argues that whilst GAIA is an enabler for many things, it is only as good as the location data recorded. Once all the data is correct it will be possible to provide many types of visual interpretation of the data using sophisticated mapping techniques as well as providing accumulation management tools – these are already under development. “At the end of the day, GAIA is there to help us do what we do much better.” If you would like more information, please contact either Russell or Dave.

t’s fair to say that as the largest organ in our body, our skin goes through a lot, but applying a sunscreen (combined with a good skincare routine) is no longer enough to keep it in tip-top condition. Although protecting ourselves from UV rays has long been a big focus for the skincare industry, the sinister effects of pollution on the skin have come to the fore and it’s not surprising.

Just look at the UK’s track record. We’ve been breaching EU pollution limits consistently for the past six years and London broke its annual air pollution limit for this year just five days into 2017. But that’s not all. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cities such as Port Talbot, Glasgow, Scunthorpe, Nottingham, Southampton and Oxford are all breaking its air pollution guidelines.

FACE

With pollution at an all-time high, a new breed of skincare has landed to fight the fumes. AMANDA PAULEY investigates how salons can treat this modern-day ager So, how is the beauty industry reacting to this modern-day problem? “We know the sun is the number-one most harmful aggressor to the skin but the second most harmful is free radicals from pollution. We as an industry need to make sure we’re educating our clients because the damage to the skin is incredible,” says Fiona Brackenbury, education director for skincare brand Decléor.

The pollution problem

Known as the “hidden ager”, exposure to pollution can cause wrinkles and loss of elasticity due to reduced collagen production and also increase pigmentation and the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone. “When urban pollution comes into contact with skin, it doesn’t

just sit on the surface,” says Kirsti Shuba, co-founder of British skincare brand Katherine Daniels Cosmetics. “The tiny particles infiltrate the deeper layers of the epidermis, causing not only inflammation and dehydration, but a cellular-level reaction that leads to the breakdown of collagen and the lipid layer in the skin, which impairs the skin barrier functions.” It also damages the protective hydrolipidic film that covers the skin’s surface and defends against bad bacteria from sweat, sebum and water. “Particles from pollution adhere to the hydrolipidic film and damage it,” explains Brackenbury. “It takes eight hours for your skin to repair itself once the hydrolipidic film has been damaged, so clients need to be using products with ingredients that will act as a shield to prevent this.” >

t wouldn’t be party season without a good coating of shimmer, but this season nail brands have taken it a step further and incorpor ated deep, multifaceted tones into their shiny metallic polishes. Metallic is no longer just about silver and gold; for 2015 almost every hue imaginable has been given a metal makeover for nails that pack a serious punch. The Spellbound collectio n from Gellux features enigmati c, multi-dimensional gel polishes such as pink Mystery and bluepurple Illusion, while Essie’s intense indigo Bell-bottom Blues and burnished bronze Leggy Legend are sure to make a statement. Both China Glaze and Leighton Denny also feature several unique molten-effect shades this season to add real depth and dimension.

SUBTLE GRAPHICS While nudes and pastels dominated, plenty of nail art was also in evidence on the spring/summer catwalks. Graphic designs were kept subtle in two contrasting colours. At Ji Oh in New York, Rita Remark kept the graphic to a simple single or double fine stripe down each nail using Essie. Orly also created some interesting but subtle graphics in London, both at Markus Lupfer, where nails were finished with a small triangular shard of silver foil at the base, and also at Fyodor Golan, where reverse French was given a completely different treatment using the new Color Amp’d line: powder blue City of Angels was used as a fresh alternative to a nude base while tips were finished with neon orange Sunset Strip, which was applied very fine at the tip and thicker along the side walls for a pointed finish.

Graphic liner is now a standard technique in any make-up artist’s repertoire but this season’s catwalk shows gave it a new treatment with designs migrating to the lower lids and using colour as well as black to create striking effects. At Jeremy Scott, spiked lower-lid designs created an animated babydoll look, while the wow lashes at Thomas Tait also accented the lower lid for a heavy finish and at Zang Toi accented lower lids finished in a classic flick. Colour came into play at Victor Alforo where canary yellow or white shadows were applied in sharp lines for a summerready graphic winged edge.

Digital We live in a wonderful world where we can peddle our wares to clients all over the world. So why not do just that? Communication has never been so exciting! Your web site is your shop window. So dress it well. Welcome shoppers in and make their visit one to remember and one theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to repeat time and time again. Use banners, skyscrapers and buttons like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been used before. Let ICD plan, design and build your on-line marketing requirements that attract customers and give them the desire to click and click again. We understand the importance of getting it right. Our web sites are tested across different browsers and platforms and are created in such a way as to gain maximum potential from each visitor. Our banners, skyscrapers and buttons will drive clients to you, so get your hard hats on and be prepared for the rush. Although, with ICD itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more about white hat than hard hat!
