Oh! Tote Ribbon Duo And 48h Weekender Bag
Fenty Beauty New Season New Shades
Elegant, refined and a perfect shape that is keeping up with its time. Come this fall 2020, this exclusive OH! Tote Ribbon Duo collection will showcase new shades matching with cognac and madder coloured leather handles and trimmings, adding a touch of sophistication to the tote bag. Different shades of tri-colour ribbons are also exclusive to this collection, showing delicate new associations of colours. All the linings of these totes are elaborated in a vivid red colour linen-cotton, making it striking at first sight. The MOYNAT Canvas since 1920, maintains exceptional know how and attention to details. The material is made of cotton and linen, with a soft, natural and powdery finish. The initial “M” print is delicately picked out in bronze, metallic pigment, giving a 3D impression. The leather trimming along all edges and a fine leather piping along the bottom underlines the house’s know-how. One face carries a sporty tri-colour stripe that recalls the historic personalised trunks and the MOYNAT medallion, individually hand screened on each bag. In keeping with the spirit of the house, these light-hearted pieces are just as luxuriously finished as the rest of the house collection.

The 48H weekender bag - A lightweight and perfect getaway bag. Taking the iconic shape of OH! Tote Canvas, the 48H weekender is re-imagined where the top corners can be buttoned down to give it that sporty silhouette. The opening is zipped and an additional lock provides discretion. This 48H weekender is lined with cotton grosgrain canvas and has two inner zipped pockets to tuck away smaller objects. Armed with longer handles to enable ease of shoulder carry, leaving the hands free for an active weekend. Personalization – The personal touch on the canvas. For decades, MOYNAT hand painted clients’ initials and family crests on the side of the trunks and objects that travelled around the globe. This personalization tradition still continues today at all MOYNAT boutiques around the world, upon request. Each unique lettering is individually painted by hand (in absence of stencils), with the font type from the house’s archives or special creations. The Moynat 1920 Canvas A Timeless Classic From Yesterday To Today Pauline Moynat was a forerunner of her time. She knew how to capture the needs of a society in full change. Today, we continue to perpetuate this legacy by being a house that anticipates the changes of its time. The MOYNAT 1920 Canvas is a perfect example - an emblematic pillar that combines modernity and tradition, know-how and technical innovation since 1920. The durability and high quality combined into an easy-to-use product that still meets the demands of our clients today. Among the innovations that marked the history of MOYNAT was the weatherproof “English trunk”, first invented in 1854 and characterized by its canvas coated in gutta-percha, a then-newly discovered vegetal gum from Indonesia. True to the spirit for the house, MOYNAT continued to further improve this emblematic canvas in 1920. During this period, Henri Rapin, an important artistic collaborator of the house had the idea of drawing the initial “M” onto the canvas. Each initial “M” on the canvas is unique, creating an elegant new monogram. Alongside the personalized coloured ribbons on historical trunks, this initial “M” monogram then became a discerning signature for MOYNAT. It should be noted that among the 250 craftsmen were employed by the house, and some were in charge of hand painting the famous initial “M” on the whole trunk. August, 2020

adidas Originals Relaunches the A-ZX Series
14
In 1984 adidas changed the world of footwear forever. Launching its first ever running franchise, the ZX series, the brand showed that performance sneakers could elevate runners of all types and abilities. Revered by running purists and sneaker enthusiasts alike, ZX quickly became a modern icon. Two decades after ZX’s inaugural release, adidas Originals returned with a celebration dubbed ‘A-ZX’. The unique program saw some of the brand’s most esteemed global partners each collaborate on 26 distinct ZX drops over the course of 2008 and 2009. In 2020, adidas Originals is bringing back A-ZX with a bang, propelling the iconic franchise firmly into the future. Throughout 2020 and 2021, adidas Originals will release 26 special makeups of ZX ‘thousand series’ silhouettes. Leveraging a number of global retail and creative partners, as well as the brand’s own archive, each drop will see ZX re-imagined in never before seen ways through the lens of key cultural touchpoints. Paying homage to the iconic ZX ‘thousand series’ and the innovatively disruptive celebrations at the turn of the last decade, the relaunched A-ZX series serves as a new chapter for retro-running. www.theciin.com

Tell us about your education.
I went to post-secondary for Fitness and Health Promotion. The fitness industry is ever-changing and I take pride in keeping myself knowledgeable and updated with current research. With that being said, I take about 2-4 related certifications a year.
Where do you train? I train at GoodLife Fitness.
How long have you been into fitness and training? My fitness journey has been a long, and interesting one. I was a dancer until the age of 14, joined my first gym at 16, hired my first trainer at 18, and the rest is history. Originally, I had very poor habits and found myself pursuing fitness because I hated my body. My motivation was driven by a poor body image, which only enabled the unhealthy behaviors I had. Regardless of what my physical self-looked like, it was my mental wellbeing that suffered. Lots of reflection and mindfulness later, I began prioritizing what made me feel good, what made me feel strong, and what made me happy. My physique happened to change more than it ever had in the past, as did my self-acceptance. And now I work to help others feel empowered and become their happiest, healthiest selves.
If you had to define all that you do in a title, what would you say?
My official title is “Personal Trainer” but I believe “Fitness Coach” is better suited to what I do. I like to encompass all aspects of wellbeing in my work with others. I aim to change my client’s relationship with fitness, food, and their own goals in a positive way. I work WITH my clients to address mental health, nutrition, stress management, as well as movement - because what my clients do inside the gym with me is just as important as the work they do on their own.
What is the difference between working with a personal trainer than exercising alone?
There are many differences in regards to working with a trainer as opposed to on your own but I would say the biggest differences are experience, knowledge, and accountability. It is hard to sort through all the myths and misconceptions regarding fitness/ nutrition that you can so easily find online. Everyday we see somebody promoting diet culture in one way or another, which can cloud our judgement and leave us believing in things that are quite frankly – wrong. Working with a professional give you the best chance at avoiding this. Not to mention that learning how to move and how-to train is a SKILL that needs to be taught. In my experience, no one starts with perfect form and to have that second eye to coach you will increase results and decrease your risk of injury. When I say accountability, this is a massive mental aspect to
hiring a trainer. When you have an appointment with someone who is expecting you, it is much less likely that you will “fall of track”. The trainer’s job is to hold you accountable and to make sure that you’re using your time as effectively as possible to drive the best results.
How would you describe your philosophy about being fit and healthy?
Being fit and healthy has often been thought of something purely aesthetic. Six packs, toned legs, etc. My belief is that being fit the mental as well as the physical. One without the other has consequences. I believe that if you are doing your best to live your happiest, healthiest life – than that can take on whatever form it does. There is no one size fits all to fitness.
What are some tips you have for people looking to get into shape? Aside from speaking with a professional to kickstart your journey, there are some major elements you can begin implementing immediately. Move more – walk, stretch, lift! Sitting is so dangerous for our health when we do it for the majority of our day. Drink more water! Often new clients tell me they constantly have headaches and low energy ... dehydration is often one of the first areas I address. Improve your nutrition education! Improve your nutrition education, as I mentioned, it is hard to determine fad from fact nowadays. Learn the basics of nutrition – digestion, macronutrients, micronutrients, etc. Understanding WHY and WHAT your body needs is such a valuable tool.
What mistakes do people make when working out?
The most common mistake I see is incorrect form, everyone’s body is different so when we try to mimic exercises without understanding how our own body works, we put ourselves in compromising positions that could result in injury. Often, I see people over train, not allowing their bodies to rest and doing more harm than good. On the opposite end of the spectrum I see people undertrain, never working out at an intensity that demands change. As simple as “move more” sounds, there are levels upon levels of complexity. *cue the personal trainer*
What’s your favorite quote or mantra you can’t live without?
Life doesn’t get easier, you just get better. My dad told me this when I was really young, battling a lot of my mental health struggles. This has stuck with me forever, as a reminder that personal growth is so important. August, 2020
19
What are some of your other hobbies?
Outside of the gym, I love to spend time with my loved ones. Family dinners, hiking with my best friend, sipping sangria on a patio on some beach.. That’s my favourite way to spend my free time. When not in a pandemic, I love to travel!
Who or what gives you the most inspiration?
Powerful, strong, independent women. Nothing inspires me more than seeing a strong woman unapologetically rise into success. Having struggled for a long time with my mental health and body image, I have always looked up to iconic, confident women.
Who are your fitness idols?
Lunch:
How has the fitness scene affected by the pandemic?
Supper:
This varies but I often gravitate towards a high vegetable meal with protein. This could look like a home made burrito bowl, a salad, or a stir fry!
Oh this one is tough -
20
It was so interesting to observe my peers during the gym closures. Some used the time to bring their fitness to the next level, whereas others struggled to overcome certain mental barriers. And while there was no right way to handle a global pandemic, it definitely had affects on the fitness scene. As an industry, competitions are being cancelled, virtual classes are becoming more popular, and gyms tightened up on restrictions. It’s hard to say what will happen in the future but what I’ve observed is that people have had to shift their mindset to prioritize mental wellbeing more than they ever had before.
What important thing have you learnt during the pandemic?
Having a great support system is crucial – even as someone who teaches fitness, and worked out 5-7 times a week, walking over 10 thousand steps a day, I struggled. The closures caused everyone to feel isolated and alone. I hadn’t seen my family, I wasn’t helping people in the gym, and my friends and I could only see each other from a distance (and I’m a hugger). What got me through was knowing that I had people in my corner that despite not being able to see me, continued to reach out, and supported me in whatever I needed to do to be happy.
I love carbs so I tend to have a lot of them in the evening around my workouts! Often you’ll find me eating something very similar to my lunch, just with a serving of rice/ pasta!
Snacks or sweets: I am a big snacker – you’ll see me often eating home made oat protein bars, fruits, roasted beans!
Favorite beverage: I won’t lie – I’m a sucker for a sugar free energy drink.
Tell us about some of your achievements you are proud of?
I began training at the age of 18. By the time I was 20, I was promoted into management. I am proud of this. I take a lot of pride in my work and being able to help people. Not many people are able to say that their passion is also their career, and I hope that if people take anything from me it’s that your success is a direct result of the work that you do and that anything is possible with the right attitude and grit.
If people have 10 minutes a day, what can they do?
What’s your typical meal for…
Learn something new – give yourself 10 minutes a day to read/ watch/ listen. Personal development is so important in keeping yourself educated and your mind sharp. Be in a constant pursuit of personal growth.
I drink a half liter of water every morning before eating. This helps dramatically with digestion, hydration, and alertness.
So where can everyone keep up with you to learn more?
First thing upon waking:
Morning: I am a big believer that you should at least enjoy what you’re eating so typically in the morning I will have a home made breakfast sandwich with whatever ingredients I feel like – typically turkey bacon, egg, and cheese!
Follow me at @emxlysimpson. My goal is to connect with as many people as possible and to inspire, educate, and laugh a little.
Your message for CiiN?
Thank you so much for this opportunity. If you’re reading this and looking for a sign, this is it. Write down what you want in life and do something today that is going to get you one step closer to those goals. You’ve got this.

JAEGER-LECOULTRE AND MR PORTER INTRODUCE THE MASTER ULTRA THIN KINGSMAN KNIFE WATCH
28
Jaeger-LeCoultre and MR PORTER are pleased to announce the launch of the Master Ultra Thin KINGSMAN Knife watch, a limited edition of 100 timepieces, specially adapted for The King’s Man, the upcoming Kingsman origins film directed by Matthew Vaughn. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Kingsman Knife watch will be offered exclusively on MR PORTER, as a key part of The King’s Man ‘costume to collection’, from July 20th to September 6th. After that date, the watch will also be available directly from Jaeger-LeCoultre online and in selected boutiques. The newest film in the Kingsman series links past and present, going back 100 years to the origins of the Kingsman agency. So too has Jaeger-LeCoultre drawn upon its great historic mastery of ultra thin calibres to develop a new timepiece directly inspired by the celebrated 1907 ‘Couteau’ (couteau is French for knife) pocket watch. The Master Ultra Thin Kingsman Knife watch is a refined dress watch that blends tradition and modernity in a manner perfectly suited to both The King’s Man and to contemporary style. The aesthetic roots of the new watch are unmistakably those of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s traditional pocket watches: the very broad bezel slopes gently from the sapphire crystal to the edge of the case, creating a fine profile reminiscent
of a knife blade and the winding crown, protected by its triangular bow, is placed at 12 o’clock. However, these timeless and traditional elements are brought right up to date with subtly modern details: simple index hour markers keep the dial refined and clean, while a finely drawn ring is repeated as a circular highlight on the bezel. Presented in a classically elegant 40mm size, the pink gold case is just 4.25mm thick. The ultra thin case houses Jaeger-LeCoultre’s celebrated hand-wound calibre 849. At just 1.85 millimetres thick, the movement underlines La Grande Maison’s century-old mastery of this demanding form of Haute Horlogerie: ultra thin movements require a perfect ratio between thinness and solidity, to ensure that components retain sufficient strength to ensure reliable timekeeping. In tribute to the film’s narrative, the case-back of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Kingsman Knife watch has been engraved with the Kingsman logo, as well as the legend “One of 100”, and is presented in a specially designed Kingsman sleevebox. In an eloquent expression of the Kingsman maxim ‘Manners Maketh Man’, the Master Ultra Thin Knife is the perfect gentleman’s timepiece; not only functional but supremely elegant. www.theciin.com
‘Our Manufacture is proud of its heritage which drives the creativity of our master watchmaking since 1833. We are delighted to partner with Matthew Vaughn and Mr Porter to unveil a unique timepiece celebrating the elegance pioneering spirit. The thinness of this watch, inspired from a pocket-watch with a knife shape from 1907 is illustrating the skills and creativity of our fully integrated Manufacture. It represents the spirit of times with timepieces passed from generation to generation’ - Ms Catherine Renier, CEO, Jaeger-LeCoultre ‘We at MR PORTER are thrilled to be working with Matthew Vaughn and the Jaeger-LeCoultre team to exclusively launch the limited-edition Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Kingsman Knife, in advance of the global release of The King’s Man later this year. The watch has a strong heritage styling coupled with being limited to only 100 pieces and will sure to be received extremely well with our growing global watch community’ - Mr Sam Kershaw, Buying Director, MR PORTER

DUNHILL AUTUMN WINTER 2020 CAMPAIGN 'THE NEW WAVE'
“I am fascinated with The Blitz club, particularly Homer Sykes’ pictures of it. It was a place of freedom and individuality, a mix of cultures: performers, the establishment and art. We don’t seem to have that now, that collision. And the collision is important.” – Mark Weston, Creative Director.
36
Inviting you backstage at their Autumn Winter 2020 show in Paris, dunhill announces its latest campaign, ‘The New Wave’, an exploration of new and established codes and the continued evolution of the House. In a series of intimate reportage shots, the new campaign reflects the spirit of seminal London nightspot the Blitz Club, as seen through the lens of British photographer Homer Sykes at the start of the 1980s. Known for its clash of culture, class, and the burgeoning New Romantic scene, the Blitz Club personifies the renewed direction of the House and the multiplicity of the dunhill man. Capturing the energy, detail and camaraderie of the dunhill AW20 show, models Aleksander, Lawrence, Daan and Paavo represent a more authentic depiction of young men. As cultivated over the past few seasons, the latest collection embraces both the old guard and the avant-garde. Luxurious leather outerwear is layered over tailoring that is both rigorous and sensuous. Pegged trousers, a further nod to the New Romantic scene, provide a more relaxed lower half. “The man in this collection is a cross between the preppy and the new wave, the establishment and the antiestablishment – it is not about making purely singular characters. Instead, it is about taking all those elements and putting them together, reconstructing and recontextualising.” Featuring prominently within the campaign are the House’s newest additions to footwear and leather goods. The Axis Runner combines a 1970s aesthetic with elevated detailing, whilst The Lock Bag takes inspiration from the classic British attaché case. Inherently dunhill in its DNA, this new icon is the manifestation of Creative Director Mark Weston’s vision, where House heritage and contemporary elegance is embraced at just the right tone.

NO ESCAPE NO PROBLEM! #ESCAPEWITHMESSIKA.. TO THE JUNGLE www.theciin.com
53 Although the world has taken pause, Valérie Messika has been taking stock of her surroundings. The grandeur of this world that we routinely see swirling around, the one in which we never have time, in which we no longer take time... this moment at a standstill has allowed the designer to refocus and watch this world with fresh eyes. Lush greenery, rocky mountains, the burning sun, the swirling stormy sea and the passionate impetuous waves, Valérie Messika sees the designs for flamboyant plastrons in the curve of a dune, the shape of a sensual ear cuff, in the verdant abundance of leaves, and stunning reflections of diamonds. With travel restricted, the designer feels the deep desire to pay tribute to the perfections to the beauty within the elements of nature.

boohooMAN x Swae Lee Rae Sremmurd star Swae Lee has teamed up with global online retailer boohooMAN to launch his firstever tracksuit collection
74
Following the enormous demand for the Rae Sremmurd x boohooMAN collaboration in 2017, global menswear online retailer boohooMAN is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated limited-edition tracksuit edit with Inglewoodborn hip hop songwriter, producer and Grammy-nominated rapper, Swae Lee. boohooMAN and Rae Sremmurd member Swae Lee have crafted the ultimate summer streetwear tracksuit collection, showcasing graphics in fresh fun colorways, inspired by Swae Lee’s iconic sporty flair style. The tracksuit drop includes everything from must-have matching sets to mix & match full looks, bold and pastel sweat sets. Swae Lee’s versatile tracksuit edit sets itself apart from others with a variety of unique graphics and prints, including x-ray-like tie-dye skeletal accents. The collection ranges in style from bold colorblock short tracksuits to 90’s throwback funnel neck velour sets. The multifunctional short tracksuit sets are lightweight, breathable and essential for keeping cool during the summer months. The concept behind the shoot is intentionally very stripped back. With monochrome as the sets’ core theme, Creative Director Cleveland Buzby said, “I wanted the product and Swae’s personality to scream and stand out here. Everything on set was purposefully simplified so we could let the product and personality do the talking.”

FENTY SKIN REVEALED The New Culture of Skincare
82
It’s no secret, Rihanna has amazing skin. But it hasn’t always come easy. As a teen, she was overwhelmed by all of the skincare options out there and even tried a product that discolored her skin, which scared her from trying anything else for a long time. Ultimately, after years of global experiences and exposure to so many skincare solutions, Rihanna dreamed of creating a skincare line that was clean, simple, effective, and most importantly, for all.
“Fenty Skin is everything I wish I had back then,” she says. “I wanted it to feel approachable, easy, and to take the pressure off choosing a routine, so I created one for everyone.” Fenty Skin is launching with 3 multitasking products that are easy to use and value-packed with skincare benefits. Known together as the Fenty Skin Start’rs, these 3 products comprise Rihanna’s real-life routine for getting healthy, glowing skin in just a few simple steps. It’s all designed to complement Fenty Beauty makeup and has been tested on all skin types and tones to work seamlessly. Inspired by her global lifestyle, Rihanna brings together ingredients from around the world and pairs them with skin-care powerhouses, such as hyaluronic acid and niacinamide—for clinically proven results. She’s prioritized clean formulas that are also oil-free, vegan and gluten free, with care for the coral reefs in mind, made with earthconscious and recyclable materials where possible. Plus, she’s elevated the entire experience with supple, unique textures and warm, delicious scents inspired by the ingredients in each product.
www.theciin.com
FENTY SKIN START’RS RIHANNA’S WAY: YOUR BEST SKIN IN 3 SIMPLE STEPS STEP 1: Just wash your face with TOTAL CLEANS’R REMOVE-IT-ALL CLEANSER Hyper clean, soft skin without stripping or drying.
Step 2: Smooth the way to pore perfection with FAT WATER PORE-REFINING TONER SERUM Instantly refines the look of pores. Reduces the look of dark spots.
Daily cleanser & makeup remover in one.

Berluti’s Winter 2020 collection: a dialogue between tradition and change For Winter 2020, Berluti intensifies and abstracts its own heritage in a free-spirited proposal for our time. A dialogue between tradition and change, an exaggerated exchange between past and present, classic and contemporary, formal and sporty. The conclusion is eccentric: an electric reaction rooted in our moment in time when dress codes liquify and expressions amplify. The discourse sets a free and light-hearted premise for the collection. As silhouettes become more casual, the established signatures of Berluti loosen up. The patina leather suit – a new trademark for the Maison – is softened and refined. In its ongoing translation from shoes into garments and bags, the colours of patina are introduced to sportier manifestations in shearling, puffer and bomber jackets. Multi-coloured patterns informed by the stained surfaces of the tables on which craftsmen hand-dye the patina shoe feature in silk shirts and pony skin outerwear. Expanding the territory, they are decolourised with a splash technique executed by hand.

Identifying shared genetics between heritage motifs and those of sportswear, Kris Van Assche elevates the sporty chevron in contrasting colours, seen across a range of sweaters. Suspended between formal and sportswear, they emerge in shocking pink and blue, or white and orange. A green patina blouson nods at the furniture collaboration between Pierre Jeanneret and Berluti, and a line of brightly coloured roll neck sweaters make for the season’s new wardrobe essential.

Maison Ave Courcelette
Complete renovation of a historic residence in the heart of Montreal. Salem Architecture MontrĂŠal, Canada
122
The main intention of the Maison Ave Courcelette project, located in the Outremont borough, was to improve the relationship of the interior spaces with the large exterior courtyard while highlighting elements dating from the original construction. www.theciin.com
123
August, 2020
The living space has been generously opened to the outside so that the kitchen can be extended under a new canopy on the rear facade facing south. This canopy has a dual function as it reduces solar gain in summer while allowing occupants to enjoy a covered space. The new openings in the existing walls allow natural light to also diffuse into the central space of the house. The fluidity of the ground floor plan is enhanced by this light as well as by the sculptural articulation of the staircase in the center of the residence. The landscaping, in separate areas, offers owners the opportunity to enjoy the backyard while having a variety of experiences and atmospheres. An exterior sunken living room, covered with a retractable awning, allows the family to enjoy a warm space and offers a different perspective on the courtyard and on the many mature trees around the perimeter of the site.
Enhancement of original elements 124
The architect, Jad Salem, along with the owner, paid particular attention to ensuring that the transformation of the residence is respectful of its original character. Thus, each intervention has been done in such a way as to highlight certain details dating from the initial construction of the house, in 1947. The new arched openings follow the same configurations as the existing ones. The railing of the central staircase has been treated in a minimalist way in order to direct attention to the curves around the staircase as well as the rounded openings in the ceiling. The original wood floor, which incorporated careful details, has been maintained in some rooms and a precise arrangement of the colors of the new floor ensures a harmonization between the new and the existing finish. The new cladding, on a portion of the rear facade, is soberly juxtaposed to the original stone of the house, using fine wooden elements laid vertically. These same elements are used to serve as an openwork sidewall to offer privacy from neighbors while allowing light and vegetation to filter through. The stones of the facade, which were replaced by the new sliding glass doors, were also kept so that they could be installed in a possible extension of the house. www.theciin.com

Maserati Unveils The Trofeo Collection www.theciin.com
127
With the new Trofeo collection, Ghibli and Quattroporte are transformed into Maserati super-sedans August, 2020
128
F
irst came Levante, presented in 2018, as the Granturismo philosophy in the body of an SUV with a potential speed of 302 kilometres an hour.
Now, Ghibli and Quattroporte will be available in the Trofeo version, the top of the Maserati range. The brand’s trident – performance, style and flawless handling – honed to perfection. They will boast the same distinguishing features, remaining true to their original identities – sedans according to Maserati – but in a superlative new expression. They are to the previous versions what Flash is to Barry Allen, what Batman is to Bruce Wayne or Superman to Clark Kent. No capes or lasers beaming from the headlights, however, they have the power to hit 326 kilometres an hour: the fastest factory-issued Maserati sedans ever. They represent the ultra-modern fulfilment of the brand’s racing promise, which in the 1960’s came up with the concept of a sporty luxury sedan model. Ghibli and Quattroporte Trofeo represent a further evolution of the sedan, destiny’s children sporting carbon-fibre inserts. And they are also immune to kryptonite.
Animated by a 580 horsepower V8 engine, they will speed along on 21-inch wheels, the largest sizes within this range. The hood of the Ghibli, already considered one of the most beautiful sedans ever, will boast two supplementary air vents, which relieve the heat whilst bustling a gritty roar. The lateral air vents, on the other hand, are bordered in red and wield the Trofeo name. The interiors are to be wrapped in full-grain Pieno Fiore natural leather and, just like the exteriors, they will boast 100% carbon-fibre inserts: Ghibli and Quattroporte in their Sunday best. Even the infotainment is new: a processor that’s four times as powerful, screen resolution that’s ten times better and a memory with twice the capacity of the previous version. This new system, featuring a high-resolution screen similar to a tablet, will render the user experience much more enjoyable, complete and customisable. The Italian flag will embellish the central pillar and, for their official launch, the Quattroporte model will be green, white Levante and red Ghibli. Because these superheroes are Made in Italy. Furthermore, Levante Trofeo, has been restyled with new rear lights, a new infotainment system and new design features. The Trofeo collection is not just about innovation for Maserati; it is about surpassing preconceptions and expectations. Superlative in every way, Trofeo redefines what a sedan and a SUV can be. he Vantage Roadster are scheduled to begin in Q3 of 2020.

This vibrant complex is without doubt one of the most atmospheric places to explore in Qatar. Built on an ancient market site, the area remains the social heart of Doha. Centuries ago, Bedouin would bring their sheep, goats and wool here to trade for essentials, and the entire market area has been cleverly redeveloped to look the part of a 19th-century souq, with mud-rendered shops and exposed timber beams, plus some authentic and beautifully restored original Qatari buildings.
For a glimpse of Qatari heritage, don't miss the Falcon Souq. You only have to see the scale of the market, afforded its own traditional arcaded building off Souq Waqif, to understand the place of falconry in Qatari society. Evenings are the best time to come, especially on Thursdays, when you can watch customers examining the birds – most of them hooded in black leather and perched on posts or railings – and discussing the finer points of falconry with the shopkeepers.
Museum of Islamic Art
Imam Muhammad Ibn Abd Al Wahhab Mosque
With the largest collection of Islamic art in the world, drawn from three continents, this fabulous museum is so rich in treasure that it rewards short, intense visits. Rising from its own purpose-built island, and set in an extensive landscape of lawns and ornamental trees off the Corniche, the museum is shaped like a postmodern fortress with minimal windows (to reduce energy use). The views across the water are splendid.
The national mosque of Qatar is the largest in the country and has a striking architectural design with a enormous fort-like appearance and dozens of domes on its roof. At night these are illuminated white, and from Doha's tall buildings can be seen on the horizon for miles. The mosque has capacity for 30,000 worshippers in its grand white prayer hall, covered with red carpets and lit with simple chandeliers.

A complete success: The first Marc Cain digital Fashion Show The sky is the limit: This was the motto of Marc Cain’s first virtual Fashion Show, which took place yesterday, Wednesday 5th August 2020. The digital event experience was accompanied by a small streaming event in Berlin. This time around, the new collections were premiered differently: Not as a classic Fashion Show during Berlin Fashion Week, but as a digital film streamed on YouTube Premiere. The light- flooded, ultra-modern Marc Cain headquarters at the Bodelshausen production site set the perfect architectural stage for a new form of fashion show experience. Alongside the press and trade representatives, numerous customers also followed the live broadcast of the fashion film with great interest. All of them took an exclusive "seat" in the front row to immerse themselves in the unique fashion world of Marc Cain. For many well-known influencers the digital event experience was essential, and they posted their photos on Instagram accounts in their Marc Cain looks. Leonie Hanne, Sofie Valkiers and Viktoria Rader from vikyandthekid were very enthusiastic about the event.
