FROM EXTRAVAGANT TO AFFORDABLE: ONE-OF-A-KIND VALENTINE’S DAY OFFERS AT SOFITEL DUBAI THE PALM Starlit dinner, entertainment, couples’ massages and more in store for Dubai residents
For Summer 2020, Givenchy presents the Givenchy Spectre, a series of exclusive lightweight sneakers inspired by highperformance running shoes. Shown on the runway paired with breezy, technical trackpants with gathered ankles, this season’s essential high-top takes its cues from running and hiking. The gaiter style sports a nylon upper in shiny black or matte white and features a bonded zip and rubber patch strap on the black version, or a drawstring function on the white version. Both shoes incorporate a lightweight sole with “Givenchy” lettering. The Givenchy Spectre also comes in a slip-on running shoe style, in ripstop nylon and leather (white, black, navy, yellow and gray), also with the House’s signature lettering and graphic sole. Rounding out the Givenchy Spectre family is a color-blocked runner sock with a graphic, bonded runway print (in five different tri-color versions). This pull-on style also exists in monochrome black with “Givenchy” lettering. A distinctive urban style statement, the Givenchy Spectre features padded footbeds and exceptional flexibility for ease of wear. The Givenchy Spectre range of sneakers for men will launch in early February; women’s styles will follow in March.

Captured by photographer Felix Dol Maillot, Jon Kortajarena personifies the strength and masculinity of the Move Titanium collection. Portrayed in both colour and black & white imagery, the pendants, bangles, rings and cufflinks shine. Embodying Messika’s signature rock & roll and contemporary aesthetics, the photos convey the power of Move Titanium, where diamonds and titanium have been brought together to create timeless and desirable jewellery for men.
