EDITOR’S LETTER

EDITOR’S letter S

pring has sprung and with it brings an explosion of powder soft tones and delicate diamonds. ROX WOMAN is the only style guide for ladies who love life with a little luxury. From high fashion straight off the catwalk, to far eastern summer holiday destinations, we’ve got the season covered.

This season’s Catwalk Report (p.15) is all about soft clean tones with elegant intimates as outerwear, exotic safari styling and the rising of Europa. We’ll show you how to master the freshest summer looks and bring them to life with jewellery from our new collections. All that Glitters (p.66), Intergalactic (p.67) and Amazonia (p.69) are our favourite SS16 jewellery trends and they're guaranteed to get you noticed.

Our featured editorial campaign (p.26) sees a feminine playfulness with All White Everything showcasing effortless summer trends dazzled with dreamy diamonds and power jewellery pieces. Be prepared for silks sprinkled with multi-tonal metals on glowing skin.

Thinking of escaping to golden sands? Pack your passport and your finest jewels and make a splash into the Indian ocean at the Maldives (p.86). Fancy something sweeter? Why not enjoy afternoon tea and live like a queen (literally, our Queen was once a guest) at an Indian palace in Japiur, or explore the Italian city of Florence for candle lit evenings sipping fine champagne.

We’ve also got something special for our brides to be with our wedding location guide from Scottish resorts and spas to the world’s most exotic wedding locations with Emirates.

We catch up with Red Sky Management athlete and Lululemon ambassador Hannah Barnes, the champion mountain biker, to find out the secret to staying fit (p.82).

This season we love nothing more than enjoying food and drink. See our top pick summer cocktails from the resident ROX Mixologist (p.73) and delicious recipes for eating al fresco, from Michelin star chef Martin Wishart and Laurent-Perrier (p.71).

Wherever you are this summer, pack your ROX WOMAN style bible for inspo on the go.

LUXURY WATCH EDIT Miniature versions of men’s watches, moonphases and the return of yellow gold are looking to be the key trends for 2016, as Laura McCreddie explains.

ROYAL OAK 33mm

CLASSIC FUSION 33mm

METROPOLITAINE SELENE

There were plenty of brands offering women small versions of the watches their men wear and Audemars Piguet was no exception. This 33mm version of the iconic Royal Oak is the perfect androgynous timepiece and it also taps into another of this year’s trends, yellow gold. Yes, the all-yellow original of this precious metal is back. It could be a little too much for some but, if you’re going to go for it, then offsetting the gold with diamonds and a blue dial is the stylish way to go.

65399 | £27,710

Another brand that has been an arbiter of androgyny is Hublot. It has long offered women smaller dialed versions of its men’s watches and no style showcases why this works better than this Classic Fusion. This is simply a smaller version of the man’s watch – there’s no diamonds and nothing has been prettified or stone set. It’s the perfect piece for women who want to wear their chaps’ watches but just don’t have the wrist radius to carry it off.

64799 | £11,800

Moonphases are certainly having a moment. There’s no denying the appeal of this most whimsical of complications but Parmigiani has given it an edge by housing it in its Metropolitaine range. Aimed at young and urbane, this collection has a sleek modernity, which sits in contrast to the poetic nature of the moonphase. It’s the horlogical equivalent of teaming a ballgown with a leather jacket and it's pretty damn cool.

WATCH EDIT

CHRONOFIGHTER 1695 LADY MOON Generally speaking pilot’s watches aren’t really made for women, but Graham subverts that idea by adding all its aviation signatures – the classic lever-release crown and chronograph function – to a moonphase. The juxtaposition of masculine and feminine combined with the grey dial and strap creates a watch that is unusual but ultimately very wearable. Perfect for those who want to standout rather than conform.

63514 | £1,890

PETITE PROMESSE

DIVE

TOCCATA

The Promesse, which Baume & Mercier launched back in 2014, proved that the brand could do desirable women’s watches. For this year, it has decided to shrink the dials and add double straps.

There are coloured leather options but the standout is this with the first-ever bracelet (not chain) double wrap. It speaks of the Roaring Twenties, decadent nights out drinking champagne and dancing ‘til dawn. Just putting it on is guaranteed to up your fabulousness quota.

64883 | £2,000

Usually women have to compromise when it comes to diver’s watches. If you want the requisite water resistance – 200m if you want to don a scuba suit – then you have to sacrifice prettiness for practicality. That isn’t the case with this Gucci. The look is classic “dive” but you’ve got diamonds on the bezel, which really softens the whole look. It also has the correct ATM; no 100m nonsense here. In short, it’s the ideal “beach to bar” accessory.

65333 | £1,280

Every woman should own a timepiece that has three cornerstones of female watch design – diamond bezel, mother-of-pearl dial and bracelet strap. This Raymond Weil combines them perfectly and manages to save the whole look from being politely pedestrian by making the dial 39mm as opposed to the usual 33. By making it larger it makes a statement on the wrist, rather than being a charming wallflower.

This is a watch that is unabashedly feminine and isn’t afraid to show it.

ROAST MONKFISH AND CLAMS Michelin-starred chef Martin Wishart knows that when it comes to food, there’s always room for added luxury. Create one of Martin's incredible light dishes, perfect for a summers eve.

ROAST MONKFISH, BUTTERED SAVOY CABBAGE, NOILLY PRAT AND CLAMS Serves 6 You will need 900g monkfish tail fillets, skinned 1 Savoy cabbage 250g unsalted butter, cold and diced 150ml Noilly Prat 150ml white wine 300ml fish stock 250ml double cream 4 shallots 1 lemon 36 fresh clams e.g. Venus clams Small bunch of Italian flat leaf parsley Salt Plain flour for dusting Olive oil Directions Prepare the cabbage by removing the dark green outer leaves. Separate the nice green leaves and tear the leafy part into large pieces

removing the tough centre vein.

Cook the leaves until just tender in boiling salted water. Remove from the water and spread out onto a wire rack to cool and drain. Set aside.

Peel and slice the shallots. Melt 50g of the butter in a pan and add the shallots. Cook on a gentle heat for 2 minutes without the shallots colouring.

Add the white wine and cook on a high heat until almost completely gone. Add the Noilly Prat to the pan and cook until reduced by approximately ¾ volume.

Add the fish stock and reduce by half the volume. Strain through a fine sieve into a wide pan and discard the shallots.

Add the cream to the pan and bring to the boil. Add the clams to the sauce and cook with the lid on until the clams have opened up.

Discard any that are still closed. Set the sauce aside.

Cut the monkfish into six evenly sized portions and season with salt. Dust the monkfish lightly in flour and pat it to remove the excess.

Fry the monkfish in a little olive oil on a high heat, turning, until it takes on a golden colour

PEARLS OF SEA Laurent-Perrier is a star feature on any menu during the native oyster season. If you’re entertaining make sure this duo make an appearance for luxury culinary points.

F

ounded over 200 years ago, LaurentPerrier is one of the most distinguished, family-owned Champagne Houses.

Based right in the heart of the Champagne region, Laurent-Perrier has a pedigree for innovation, handcrafting elegant champagnes using traditional, time-honoured methods. There are seven champagnes in the award-winning Laurent-Perrier range, from the iconic Cuvée Rosé to the luxurious Grand Siècle. These champagnes make great apéritifs and are also a superb accompaniment to food.

In the last century, Laurent-Perrier was renowned for its “Grand Vin Sans Sucre”. Today known as the Laurent-Perrier Ultra-Brut, this

bone-dry, distinctive champagne has no “dosage” sugar added to it. The quality of the grapes is vital, as they must display perfect balance of sugar and acidity only exhibited in the best vintage years. The Ultra-Brut is known to be one of the most difficult styles of champagne to produce, which is probably why none of the competing champagnes launched in the late seventies have survived today.

With its honeysuckle nose, Laurent-Perrier Ultra-Brut is recognised by connoisseurs as being one of the best NV champagnes available. The clean, fresh qualities, unencumbered by sugar, make it an ideal accompaniment for oysters and other seafoods.

– 75 –

Seafood and Ultra Brut are well suited, in part, due to the balance of the subtle salted flavours of the fish and the dry, delicate fresh fizz. The Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut provides a distinctive liveliness on the palate and reveals light, floral flavours with a soft finish. Intense and complex on the nose, with citrus, white fruit and honeysuckle flavours, the Ultra Brut’s Chardonnay dominance ensures it stands as a smooth match for oysters and foie gras.

Bright lips are set to be another big trend for spring as designers at Marchesa and Céline chose vibrant lip colours as the focal point of their runway looks.

ENDURO WOMAN We sit down with Red Sky Management’s mountain biker Hannah Barnes. Not only is she one of a select group of female riders racing for Specialised Bicycles, she has competed across the globe in the Mountain Bike Enduro World Series and Adventure events, she is also passionate about health, fitness and Scotland.

ou grew up in the beautiful and remote Fort William, were you always an outdoorsy girl?

Yes absolutely, I love the outdoors and grew up in the mountains, skiing and sailing with family and friends. It’s always felt natural to be outside and ready to go on adventures from the doorstep, it’s the ultimate fun!

Where has your best adventure been?

Ooh, it’s hard to pick just one! Going to Alaska when I finished High School was amazing, and something I’ll never forget. I was 17, and really wanted to go on an adventure, but had absolutely no idea doing what. A family friend knew a very successful Alaskan mushing couple Susan Butcher and Dave Monson, and their young girls Tekla and Chisana. They lived in the heart of the Alaskan bush near Fairbanks, and ran Trail Breaker Kennel, a sled dog racing outfit with over 100 huskies. I spent 6 months there, living in a very basic but cosy log cabin in the woods

with no running water, lying in bed at night you could hear wolves howling! I loved the simple Alaskan way of life.

You took a year out of school with your family to sail around the Atlantic. As a child this must have been an amazing adventure?

It was fantastic, what an incredible year which definitely shaped my approach and enthusiasm for life and what is possible. There were hairy moments for sure, but I can’t remember ever being scared as such. I always felt confident in my parents, and our yacht Te Bheag was solid and sea worthy, so the other variables are relatively out of your control and you just deal with what’s thrown at you at the time. It’s exciting more than anything! We did hit a huge whale, I was reading my book down below and felt a big bang as we hit it, luckily the boat and hopefully the whale were fine. We also got struck by lightening mid Atlantic, and lost

You got into cycling aged 18; did you always know what you wanted to do with your life?

I knew I wanted to have an exciting and full life, but I didn’t have any specific direction in mind. I thought I’d work as a nurse, and incorporate adventures around it, and perhaps be a medic on expeditions or races such as the Volvo Ocean Race. I have always been really competitive, and love racing and training, but I didn’t know which sport to focus on. Towards the end of University I got into cross-country cycling through my Brother (he is a pro mountain biker for Canyon Factory Enduro Team) and then off-road triathlon. I gradually moved from Cross Country cycling to Enduro, which I absolutely love! Sport is a great way to travel the world.

GUESTLIST We've celebrated Capital FM's One To Watch competition final in partnership with Raymond Weil. We hosted our inaugural ROX Haute Horlogerie Dinner. We even uncovered the Beauty Behind the Madness with Dr Esho & friends, followed by an evening of adventure with Bremont. It wouldn’t be a ROX party without the celebration of a music icon and we did just that with our Linn Lounge David Bowie evening.

We hope to see you at the next one.
