EVERY DETAIL FROM SELENA GOMEZ’S 2019 CANNES FILM FESTIVAL LOOK

010

To prep Selena’s 2019 Cannes makeup look, Hung Vanngo started with the new, first-ever skincare product from Marc Jacobs Beauty, Youthquake Hydra-Full Retexturizing Gel Crème. Youthquake retexturizes and moisturizes at the same time, thanks to pineapple enzymes and encapsulated sodium hyaluronate, making it the perfect prep step for a makeup-ready canvas and the ultimate red carpet glow must-have. Hung then perfected Selena’s complexion with Accomplice Concealer & Touch-Up Stick in L23 and topped the skin off with Accomplice Instant Blurring Beauty Powder in Siren 52 for a soft-focus, flawless glow. Finally, Hung used O!Mega Bronzer Coconut Perfect Tan in TanTastic! and Air Blush Soft Glow Duo in 506 Flesh & Fantasy to warm up the complexion.

For Selena’s striking eye look Hung first used a light layer of See-quins Glam Glitter Eyeshadow in Flashlight to give her lids a glittery look. Next, he used the Magic Marc'er Precision Pen Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Blacquer to create a precise bold wing liner that emphasized Selena’s eye shape. Hung then completed the eye look with a few coats of Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara for voluminous lashes To finish off the look, Hung used Le Marc Lip Crème Lipstick in Oh Miley 200 on Selena’s lips for a bright strawberry-red pop of color on the red carpet. www.theciin.com

PRIYANKA CHOPRA WEARS TIFFANY & CO. TO THE 2019 BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS

To Berlin and Beyond with Montblanc: Reconnect To The World

Priyanka Chopra sparkled in Tiffany & Co. diamonds on the red carpet at the Billboard Music Awards. Supporting her husband Nick Jonas, who is performing at the event, Priyanka donned three layered necklaces and several pieces from the Tiffany T collection, including hoop earrings, a bracelet and an assortment of rings.

014

One of the world’s most eclectic cities and sought-after travel destinations, Berlin was the backdrop for the launch of Montblanc’s new travel campaign. The iconic Metropol Theatre at Nollendorfplatz opened its doors to Montblanc for the first time after six years to be transformed for one night only into an immersive travel experience, where the new campaign promise was brought to life: inviting travellers everywhere to reconnect with the world by exploring new destinations and perspectives.

“Reconnecting with the world around us is a key theme for us this year and we wanted our new travel line to make the travel experience as enjoyable as possible, leaving room to learn about the world around us, inspiring us to leave our mark,” explained Nicolas Baretzki, Montblanc CEO. “By giving our guests access to a theatre that has been closed for almost six years and share special cultural experiences with them, we brought that benefit to life in the vibrant city of Berlin.”

Evoking a short city trip with a group of friends and filled with unexpected encounters, guests journeyed through a travel tunnel to arrive into the heart of the Metropol, surrounded by projections of favorite urban destinations. Among the other discoveries they made at their destination: a central wall sculpture created with trolleys by Marc Jung reflecting several artworks on the Berlin wall, marking 30 years since its fall.

The travel experience was attended by many friends of the Maison including Adrien Brody, Quincy Brown, Alex Pettyfer, Poppy Delevingne, Suki Waterhouse, Toni Garrn, Pierre Niney, Frederick Lau and Jürgen Vogel. Entertainment by MEUTE, a Techno Marching Band made up of eleven drummers and horn players that combine hypnotic techno and expressive acoustic instruments, tracks spun by Berlin-based Korean DJ Peggy Gou, DJ and style icon Palina Rojinski and actor Lars Eidinger closing the night with a special performance.

With a complete travel assortment created to make travel more seamless, Montblanc gives entrepreneurs, trailblazers and urban explorers trusted travel companions for their trips to key cities around the world including the new #MY4810 Montblanc Nightlight Silver Trolleys and the reimagined Montblanc Extreme 2.0 collection. www.theciin.com

LIVE NATION & BOOKMYSHOW BRING WESTLIFE’S ‘TWENTY TOUR’ TO THE COCACOLA ARENA, DUBAI

M.A.C Cosmetics Launches On Namshi

The wait is finally over! After having sold more than 55 million records worldwide, popular Irish pop vocal band Westlife will bring their muchawaited ‘Twenty Tour’ to Dubai. Brought to UAE by leading entertainment companies Live Nation and BookMyShow, the creators of 'My Love' and ‘Flying Without Wings’ will perform for fans from across UAE, at the newly-built Coca-Cola Arena located at City Walk Dubai on August 29th, 2019.

Huge version of ‘LOVE ME’ heart sculpture unveiled in Downtown Dubai Master sculptor Richard Hudson has returned to Downtown Dubai and he’s back with something bigger and better.

The artist’s three-dimensional, mirrored-steel ‘LOVE ME’ heart sculpture that first appeared in February last year to visitors to The Dubai Mall, has been recreated - but this time on much larger scale.

The new ‘LOVE ME’ heart, the latest piece to be added to Emaar’s growing community art portfolio, is so big that it had to be transported in pieces to its new home and assembled onsite.

At a height of five metres and equally wide, ‘LOVE ME’ has a depth of 3.8 metres and weighs over 7,000 kg. Described by Hudson as “all-encompassing in its symbolism of love and peace – and an icon image that crosses all boundaries” - ‘LOVE ME’ resonates with people from all walks of life.

The sculpture has been carefully positioned to reflect the sky-high Burj Khalifa on its mirrored steel surface making it the perfect companion to the two captivating LED shows lighting up the iconic tower throughout the Holy Month of Ramadan.

Hudson’s works have been exhibited around the world including shows across Europe, the Americas and Asia. He has curated private collections for the likes of Sir Elton John, Claudia Schiffer, Michael Douglas and Catherine ZetaJones.

The Dubai Mall continually seeks to promote art and culture with outstanding exhibits, select collections and one-of-a-kind showcases.

A Revival In Red

016

The rebirth of Oris’s iconic Big Crown Pointer Date is symbolic of both the independent Swiss watchmaker’s rich watchmaking heritage and also the broader revival of simpler, more traditional watch styles.

The story behind Oris’s most celebrated model begins in 1938 when it was introduced for pilots. The oversized crown meant the watch could be easily adjusted even when wearing gloves.

Its pointer date function has become an Oris signature and here sits over a deep red dial.

This model has a 40mm case and comes on a vintage brown leather strap.

Tissot Gentleman Permanent elegance

As innovator by tradition, Tissot is dedicating its new Gentleman to the elegant man of today.

Sophisticated yet understated, made of steel and solid 18 ct pink gold, it is available in four versions. This 40 mm-diameter model shows Tissot’s devotion to fine workmanship in its watchmaking, with carefully-wrought details.

Versatility The Tissot Gentleman is a multi-purpose watch, both ergonomic and elegant in any circumstance. It is equally suitable for wearing in a business environment, where conventional dress codes apply, as at the weekend, when it adapts easily to leisure activities. As part of the life of a modern, active man, the Tissot Gentleman becomes the perfect companion for every day, every occasion and every style.

High-quality materials The steel of which its case is made is embellished by a bezel made entirely of 18 ct pink gold. This precious metal catches the eye and adds warmth to the Gentleman’s colouring, especially since it also appears on the dial.

Measuring 40 mm in diameter by 10.64 in thickness, the case is extended by horns with a pronounced curvature, enabling it to hug the lines of the wrist more closely. These design

features make the Tissot Gentleman a watch that is comfortable and easy to wear, gliding under the sleeve of a shirt finely woven from the best cotton.

Colours Two straps adorn the Tissot Gentleman. They add the defining touch to two types of model.

The first is a steel bracelet, consisting of three wide links. The one positioned in the centre is burnished while the ones surrounding it have a satin finish. The solid attachment is more sporty and is the natural extension of a silver dial. The second option consists of a selection of smooth calfskin straps, in colours that match the dials: black, camel and chocolate.

Details All the dials, whatever their colour, sport four noteworthy features. Firstly, a central marking in the shape of a circular sighting-line makes the dial easy to read and gives it a contemporary appearance. Secondly, the ring of applique hour markers, bevelled and buffed to a satin finish, and accentuated by faceted dauphine hands with white luminescent material and a date aperture at 3 o’clock, reveal the subtle elegance of the dial. The pink gold colour of this magnificent dial has precisely the same warmth May, 2019

as the 18 ct pink gold bezel. A very slender second hand enables the time to be read with great precision, to the second. Lastly, the “Powermatic 80 Silicon” indication is a reminder that the Gentleman has an exceptional calibre.

The heart In fact, Tissot uses the ETA C07.811, better known under the name of Powermatic 80, in the version with a silicon balance-spring. This spring provides greater longevity, more precise running and greater resistance to magnetic fields. The self-winding movement has a very convenient power reserve of 80 hours, hence its name. With over three days of running time when not being worn, the Tissot Gentleman allows its owner to get through the weekend without having to rewind his watch or reset the time.

The Gentleman’s watch The Tissot Gentleman can thus be worn for both work and leisure, formal and informal occasions, sporty or smart events. And it always looks elegant with its bezel in solid 18 ct pink gold and its finely-wrought dials. It’s the very watch for a gentleman. Always at ease, without ever overdoing things, no matter what the situation.

Oris Divers Sixty-Five Chronograph

018

The legend of the Oris Divers Sixty-Five continues with the family’s first series-produced chronograph. Inspired by original diver’s watches Oris produced in the 1960s, the Divers Sixty-Five marries the best of vintage design and contemporary manufacturing techniques. So while it has vintage chronograph pushers and a retro bi-compax (twincounter) dial layout, it also boasts a 43mm stainless steel case, a bronze uni-directional rotating diver’s bezel with an aluminium insert, and a domed sapphire crystal. Inside it is a Swiss Made automatic mechanical chronograph movement with quarter-of-a-second accuracy and a 48-hour power reserve.

Rado Tradition Captain Cook MKII Automatic Limited Edition Since 1957, Rado has been producing watches designed to stand the test of time and, since the launch of the Golden Horse in 1958, to stand the test of the elements when water-resistant watches were far from the norm.

Building on this base, 1962 saw the introduction of an early diver’s model that now makes a welcome comeback to the Rado collection in a reimagined version that is true to the look and feel of the original.

The Captain Cook MKII was first launched with an impressive 22 bar (220m) water resistance rating and an inner turning bezel capable of measuring up to 80 minutes of elapsed dive time. The reimagined Captain Cook MKII, retains these impressive features, whilst incorporating a whole lot more.

At first glance the Captain Cook MKII bears an uncanny resemblance to the 1962 original, with its red and white inner bezel and natural coloured Super-LumiNovaÂŽ dots. n closer inspection however, the matt black dial and sleek rhodium coloured dial elements update the Captain Cook MKII for the twenty-first century.

Rado True Thinline My Bird Limited Edition Symbolism, tradition, opulence and colour are the hallmarks of the work of renowned Russian artist and designer Evgenia Miro.

Drawing on emblems and motifs that trace their origins back through centuries of storytelling, Evgenia creates beautiful designs that she applies to a range of materials to create enduring pieces designed to stand the test of time.

From decorated silks to delicate china, Evgenia has now progressed to working on a micro scale with high-tech ceramic for the watch she has co-created with pioneering Swiss watchmaker Rado. Considered the most forward-thinking design player in the watch industry, Rado worked closely with Evgenia as she brought her unique vision and perspective to a watch collection that is known for its slim silhouette, confident construction and the way it revolutionised traditional watchmaking on its debut in 2011.

Created in durable and scratch-resistant high-tech ceramic, the familiar monobloc case and bracelet of the True Thinline collection feature precision laser engravings of a delicate and distinctive feather pattern. Evgenia’s unique concept sees the bird’s feather creating a new philosophy of time with its lightness and dynamic rhythm of fine lines. She believes we are at our most active and productive between 1 o’clock and 7 o’clock and she chose to place the feather diagonally across the dial at these points to express this. The feather is also a symbol of the lightness of high-tech ceramic.

Using the deep rich blue that she believes has a deep philosophical and symbolic meaning, Evgenia’s True Thinline is designed to communicate wisdom, nobility and spirituality. The strong, deep colour is complemented by contrasting rose gold coloured hands and the metallised Rado logo.

An interesting contrast

044

To Evgenia, the symbol of the bird stands for tenderness, wisdom and refinement as well as for freedom and she chose to place it on the case back where it is worn next to the skin. The bird she has chosen is opulent and proud, its red and gold plumage symbolising warmth and light - a theme often seen in her work.

The bird is digitally printed on the sapphire crystal case back – a first at Rado.

Speaking about the collaboration with Evgenia Miro, Rado CEO Matthias Breschan said: “Working with Evgenia to create this watch was a unique experience. The ever-changing nature of time is one of the themes she often explores in her work. We felt this design idea was a very interesting contrast for a watch that is enduring and designed to stand the test of time.”

The Rado True Thinline My Bird Limited Edition is one of the latest models in a series of designer collaborations for Rado, a multi award-winning designer in its own right. Featuring watches co-created with renowned designers from a range of design disciplines, Rado cements its claim as the go-to brand in watch design.

ROYA Ghassemi 052

“The hardest challenge in art is the desire to keep everyone happy�

Roya Ghassemi has loved colours since she was a child, so it came as no surprise when she pursued a career in art.

However, her love of fashion has led to a project combining her two favourite subjects - an exciting venture for the Iranian illustrator.

www.theciin.com

053

May, 2019

Please introduce yourself to our readers.

I am Roya Ghassemi. I was born in 1991 in Iran.

I am a graphic designer and illustrator.

Tell us about your education and a little of your beginnings and journey as an artist.

I began my art career at the age of 15, studying graphic design at the master's school of Shahriar (Tabriz), which had a great influence on my interest in art. After graduating from high school, I immediately began studying at university and graduated with a bachelor's degree.

Did you take any kind of training or did it develop over time?

Certainly education was the best practice in this field, but I am always learning and practicing. I have not gone through a special class but have been working for almost ten years in this field.

054

Why and when did you move to Germany?

I got married in 2015 and, since my husband lived there, I also moved to Germany.

How would you describe your illustration style?

Many of my followers ask me for the name of my art style. I have not chosen a name for that yet but I'm sure this style is linked to my spirits and interests. Flowers and plants, animals and colours - and especially women - play a significant role in my illustrations. I use these elements to try to show the natural beauty, but a little surreal; something like in dreams.

What would you say is your strongest ability as an illustrator?

Maybe it's a bit selfish but I think my paintings are not lifeless. This is the strongest part of my work.

Digitally, what are your favourite programs to illustrate in?

My drawings are designed manually and digitally. I use Photoshop software.

Traditionally, what are your favourite papers and inks?

I love thick, textured paper. Markers, water colours, rapids and crayons are my favorite gadgets. www.theciin.com

055

May, 2019

Can you remember some of your earliest influences?

As far as I remember, I always loved colours in my childhood.

Can you describe one of the toughest challenges you’ve faced as an illustrator/ designer?

In my opinion, the hardest challenge in art is the desire to keep everyone happy or to interfere with the taste of others.

How supportive is your family with your interest in illustrations?

Very. I feel very happy that I have a family who has always kept me safe.

Which of your projects has been most important to developing your personal style?

The design of famous characters has had a great impact on my work.

056 How much attention do you pay to the feedback of others on your work?

With regard to comments and messages from around the world, especially in Iran, people like to see this. Sometimes they are surprised and I'm very happy about this. When I see that people are inspired by my work and are trying to learn this style and asking for education, I feel I have succeeded in creating my own style and having my own signature.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given?

I always remind myself to follow my dreams and I think this is the best advice for me.

What are some of your future plans?

Since I am interested in fashion, I’ve decided

to present a product in the future with a combination of illustration and fashion.

Your message for us at CiiN..

It is interesting to me that your magazine, relating to fashion, made it possible for me to talk about myself. I always loved fashion so it was good for me to have this conversation with you. I hope the project will be very well received. www.theciin.com

This is how Gigi shows her Vogue. And how do you Vogue? #SHOWYOURVOGUE Fast forward with a twist: standing out against the speeding lights of city nights, this uber-glam style adds a retro-future twist to contemporary glamor.

With their color of burning embers, rubies have long fascinated civilizations the world over. The gems have fueled Van Cleef & Arpels’ imagination ever since 1906, inspiring some of its most emblematic creations.

Today, the Maison pays tribute to them with the High Jewelry collection Treasure of rubies. Made up of 60 unique pieces, this corpus of creations showcases the beauty and majesty of this extremely rare stone.

Much sought-after, rubies of exceptional quality are often even rarer than diamonds.

Like a passionate and demanding collector, Van Cleef & Arpels has brought together more than 3,000 carats of certified rubies over the space of several years. The quest for exceptional gems has inspired the Maison ever since its foundation, notably with the Arpels brothers’ numerous voyages to India and the Far East from the 1950s to the 1970s. It here takes the form of a treasure trove of precious stones, in creations that reveal all their nuances and fires: from a flower with vermilion petals to a scarlet ribbon or a purple paisley motif, they reflect Van Cleef & Arpels’ inspirations in a palette of glowing red.

Rubies – which Indians call “the king of gems” – do not reveal all their secrets at first sight. It takes time to discover and explore them, and penetrate their hidden depths. Treasure of rubies is an invitation to immerse the gaze in this precious material, a journey to the heart of color.

TIFFANY & CO. CELEBRATES INDIVIDUALITY IN ITS SPRING 2019 CAMPAIGN Featuring Kendall Jenner, Carolyn Murphy, Imaan Hammam, Mica Argañaraz and Fei Fei Sun.

062 Tiffany & Co. announced its spring 2019 advertising campaign, which celebrates optimism, personal style and self-expression.

The campaign brings together five diverse personalities, including models Kendall Jenner, Carolyn Murphy, Imaan Hammam, Mica Argañaraz and Fei Fei Sun. Juxtaposing their portraits with iconic Tiffany designs, the Tiffany Blue Box® is artfully woven throughout.

The new campaign showcases the brand in a fresh and unexpected way.

Renowned fashion photographer Craig McDean captured the cast’s natural interactions with playful objects in Tiffany Blue®. Behind-the-scenes videos highlight candid moments, ranging from rapid-fire questions to a ping-pong tournament and yo-yo tricks. The house tapped acclaimed stylist Alex White to showcase the versatility of the Tiffany T collection and other Tiffany designs.

Tiffany’s global brand icon, Tiffany T, is the focal point of the campaign. The decidedly modern collection takes the strong, graphic form of the letter T and reimagines it in a range of architectural cuffs, bracelets, pendants, rings and earrings made of 18k gold—rose, yellow, white—and sterling silver. Diamonds also play a key role both in the distinctive collections’ pieces and as magnificent accents. Tiffany’s spring 2019 advertising campaign showcases the complementary nature of the designs that can be stacked or worn alone. www.theciin.com

CLASH DE CARTIER

Clash de Cartier, jewellery that simultaneously champions and eschews classic forms, that balances clean design with an excess of energy, and a serious spirit with original charm.

Clash de Cartier shakes up the Maison’s aesthetic heritage of studs, beads and clous carrés. Together, they form a singular, ribbed mesh which becomes Cartier’s new jewellery signature as imagined by the design studios.

Clash de Cartier is a chic balancing act, a mix and match of aristocratic codes. This jewellery takes a swipe at protocol, tradition and liberty. A clash of attitudes.

Clash de Cartier, a two-sided jewel Jewellery that’s sharp? Yes, but soft to the touch. Geometric? Yes, but generously sized and feminine.

Mechanical? Yes, as all of the pieces are assembled yet free to move.

Clash de Cartier is fixed yet moveable. At its essence is opposition: bright, feminine curves and soft contours are contrasted with the nervous tension of a taut structure.

Clash de Cartier, liberated jewellery with a good heritage Clash de Cartier possesses an innate sense of proportion that draws on pure Cartier style. In volumes and reliefs, circles and squares, the collection honours the Maison’s penchant for geometry which dates back to the 1930s.

A classic style? No! It’s neo-classical, singular, unisex, whimsical.

Bright, flowing, pulsating, Clash de Cartier breaks up the conventional architecture of shapes. The studs are held in place but free to move. This subtle motion entices light to flit and flicker; the metal seems softer.

Crafted in 4N pink gold, the rings can be stacked and layered in all versions.

Male. Female. No judgment.

Clash de Cartier, deceptively simple lines Behind the clean lines and even spacing, Clash de Cartier is a highly complex feat of craftsmanship.

How are the studs interconnected yet mobile? The ingenious articulated mechanism was entirely developed by the jewellery workshops. Each element is mounted and polished.

Each step calls for a new technique, just the right tool. The Clash de Cartier piece is precisely calibrated to magnetise the forces, to hold the studs in place.

The buff-top domed clous carrés are finished with a bright polish that is produced over a series of operations.

In a final sophisticated Cartier jewellery touch, the inside of each piece is delicately scalloped for comfortable wear.

Jack de Boucheron The brand new Jack de Boucheron collection is infinitely free, wildly playful and a touch rebellious. It also marks the start of a new chapter in the Maison's history. The collection can be worn in so many different ways that 2019 will see the concept of wearing jewelry turned on its head! Every woman can choose the look she wants. The principle? A gold wire sealed by a jeweler's clasp.

To play with the Boucheron codes, between couture know-how, a rebellious spirit and the spirit of the times. Jack de Boucheron's ultra-contemporary flexibility is inspired by audio cables, while its clasp hides a connection inspired by a jack. This jewelry gives the wearer the ultimate scope of choice, like a blank page on which to write for the woman who selects it. She is free to mix the pieces according to her mood and her outfit. She is free to play with her style. She is free to define her own codes and embrace her uniqueness. Neither necklace nor bracelet, but sometimes both at once, Jack can be combined, connected, made bigger, piled up, transformed. It is playful and emancipated. With Jack anything is possible, starting with freedom.

HAUTE JOAILLERIE BRILLIANCE: AUDEMARS PIGUET SAPPHIRE ORBE High jewellery, horology and design cues from nature have united in Audemars Piguet’s Haute Joaillerie collection since 2013, as showcased by the celebrated Diamond Trilogy (Diamond Punk, Diamond Fury and Diamond Outrage). Inspired by the wintery and rugged landscape of the Vallée de Joux in the Swiss Jura Mountains, this trilogy combines traditional gem-setting techniques with unconventional design for a distinctive effect of elegance, strength and power.

Named after the river that crosses Le Brassus, home of Audemars Piguet in the Vallée de Joux, Sapphire Orbe follows suit with ties to nature. The timepiece embodies a glittering river of diamonds and sapphires in graded hues of blue and orange, as night merges into day.

Sapphire Orbe features more than 12,000 stones, each rigorously selected, individually cut and set by hand. The central petal-shaped rings are entirely snow-set with diamonds and sapphires in 6 graded shades of blue and orange, each in 20 different diameters ranging from 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm in size. Multifaceted, this piece offers a play of colour and light that changes depending on the perspective from which it is seen. It took Audemars Piguet’s artisans approximately 1,050 hours to gem-set this piece.

In the domed centre nestles the 2 cm dark blue sapphire-set globe which, when inverted, reveals the watch’s 18-carat white gold dial paved with graded orange sapphires. This spherical case houses a tiny quartz calibre.

The bracelet is made of articulated diamond-set components, for maximum flexibility and comfort.

The World of Pokémon Comes to Life!

Hugely positive social reactions to Pokémon Detective Pikachu following early screenings

100

The social media embargo for POKÉMON DETECTIVE PIKACHU lifted on Tuesday, April 23, timed to the first screenings of the film for key press and influencers globally and reactions have been hugely positive.

The first-ever live-action Pokémon adventure, “POKÉMON Detective Pikachu” stars Ryan Reynolds as Detective Pikachu and is based on the beloved Pokémon brand—one of the world’s most popular, multi-generation entertainment properties and most successful media franchises of all time.

Fans everywhere can now experience Pikachu on the big screen as never before, as Detective Pikachu, a Pokémon like no other. The film also showcases a wide array of beloved Pokémon characters, each with its

own unique abilities and personality.

The story begins when ace detective Harry Goodman goes mysteriously missing, prompting his 21-year-old son Tim to find out what happened.

Aiding in the investigation is Harry’s former Pokémon partner, Detective Pikachu: a hilariously wise-cracking, adorable super-sleuth who is a puzzlement even to himself. Finding that they are uniquely equipped to work together, as Tim is the only human who can talk with Pikachu, they join forces on a thrilling adventure to unravel the tangled mystery.

Chasing clues together through the neon-lit streets of Ryme City—a sprawling, modern metropolis where humans and Pokémon live side by side in a hyper-realistic live-action world—they encounter a diverse cast of Pokémon characters and uncover a shocking plot that could destroy this www.theciin.com

"Detective Pikachu is adorably funny & takes you deep into the world of Pokemon, which every Pokemon fan will appreciate. The nostalgia is real. #DetectivePikachu will have you laughing & tearing up a bit too.

Ryan Reynolds & Justice Smith are golden in this. #PikaPika" @TheNerdsofColor

"Fun for the whole family!

Pokémon obsessives will be pleased, but Poke novices will be able to follow along—and will maybe even get sucked into the whole world. In summary: I want to cuddle Pikachu."

Audiences loved seeing their favorite Pokémon come to life, expressing that they “walked out of the movie completely in love with the world of Pokémon”. Many even stated that they wished the Pokémon were real. Other reactions dominating the conversations spoke of how the humor resonated, as CinemaBlends states “The Pokémon are adorable. The movie is funny.

Really what else do you need?”. While some also mentioned that Pokémon Detective Pikachu is great for fans and non-fans alike, fun, and great for the whole family.

ROLLS-ROYCE MARKS 115 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE AND INNOVATION

O

n 4 May 1904, Charles Rolls and Henry Royce met for the first time at The Midland Hotel, Manchester.

One-hundred-andfifteen years later, the marque they agreed to form that day continues to set global standards for innovation and excellence and uphold their legacy as the originators of ‘the best car in the world’.

Rolls and Royce would doubtless be astonished at the cars produced under their names in 2019.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars retains its links to those pioneering days in its approach, instincts and values. Today’s cars would be immediately – and pleasingly – recognisable to their founding fathers.

A return to coachbuilding

The lines and styling of the first Rolls-Royce cars are clearly influenced by the horse-drawn carriages they replaced. This is no coincidence, since they were handcrafted by the same master coachbuilders, who effortlessly transferred their skills and artistry from the outgoing tradition to the new technology.

Coachbuilding at Rolls-Royce ended in the 1960s, but in 2017, the craft made a triumphant return in the form of ‘Sweptail’ – a fully bespoke, coachbuilt commission for a customer seeking ‘the ultimate grand tourer’.

The Architecture of Luxury

Effortless, everywhere

To satisfy today’s global demand, the company has developed a common platform that underpins all new models. Known as The Architecture of Luxury, it comprises an aluminium spaceframe scaled to fit by using different-sized floor pans and cross members: new production processes ensure stiffness and integrity, as well as delivering the company’s signature Magic Carpet Ride.

A century after Lawrence’s exploits, RollsRoyce once again produced a car capable of conquering the most hostile environments on Earth - the Cullinan super-luxury SUV.

In its first two years, Rolls-Royce produced a mere 10 cars: in 2018, it delivered 4,107 – the highest annual total in its history – to customers in over 50 countries.

In 1917, British diplomat Hugh Lloyd-Thomas was dining in a Cairo club with his wife, Aileen, when a man in flowing robes swept in and demanded: “Whose Rolls-Royce is this outside?” When Aileen said it was hers, the man announced that he was commandeering it “in the name of His Majesty’s armed forces” and drove away. He was T. E. Lawrence, also known as Lawrence of Arabia.

Black Badge

A sensation on its launch in 2018, the Cullinan proved its credentials with a 12,000-mile odyssey through the Scottish Highlands, Austrian Alps, American West, and the arid wastes of the Middle East where it effortlessly confirmed Lawrence’s assertion that 'a Rolls in the desert is above rubies.'

Since its launch, Black Badge has captivated today’s young owners who understand no other luxury house has the vision and flexibility to meet their demands in design and engineering.

“We are deeply conscious of our heritage: it is a tremendous privilege to be continuing and building on work that began 115 years ago,” says Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive, Rolls Royce Motor Cars. “But we also understand that our founders were visionaries, always looking to do things in new and different ways. It’s that spirit of excellence and innovation that RollsRoyce Motor Cars embodies and celebrates today.”

Black Badge is Rolls-Royce’s response to clients who ask for motor cars that reflect a different take on life, success and luxury. Black Badge models are the ‘alter egos’ of standard models: darker, edgier, with more power and torque and enhanced driving dynamics.

In conceiving Black Badge versions of Wraith, Ghost and Dawn, the marque’s Bespoke designers and engineers expertly met the needs of their extraordinary customers to create vehicles that perfectly amplify the values of these great Rolls-Royces. www.theciin.com

NEW PEUGEOT 508 THE RADICAL SALOON MAKES ITS MIDDLE EAST DEBUT

T

he game-changing allnew Peugeot 508 has arrived in the Middle East.

The radical new saloon from the visionary French brand was revealed at its recently opened Concept Store in Yas Mall. Available in showrooms across the region* now, the Peugeot 508 comes in three trim levels; the entry level A ‘ ctive’, mid-trim A ‘ llure’ and the top-of-the-range ‘GT Line’ model.

The latest generation of Peugeot’s elegant 508 fastback model has been completely re-imagined to emphasise Peugeot’s new sharp, futuristic design language. The Peugeot 508’s cool new exterior is now more robust and purposeful, whilst the car’s spectacular interior includes premium materials and cutting-edge technology – including the latest evolution of its trademark Peugeot i-Cockpit®.

Its exemplary road-handling, efficient new engines, and, countless technology features is a quantum leap in terms of quality and innovation, making the new Peugeot 508 a game-changer in the executive salon segment, challenging premium automotive brands.

Samir Cherfan, Groupe PSA Senior Vice President for Sales and Marketing in Africa and Middle East, said; “Since the new Peugeot 508 made its global debut at Geneva Motor Show last year, I was

excited to introduce it to the Middle East market – this car will shake-up the D segment. With the 508, our designers and engineers raised the bar in terms of refinement and use of premium materials and the very latest technology. We have a radical, differentiated car, which is now a genuine challenger against rival premium brands in the segment.

Peugeot is making a comeback with a very desirable product line-up and a robust plan to increase our brand’s presence in the Middle East.

Globally, we are seeing strong results; in 2018 we saw a 6.8 per cent increase in global PSA brand sales which totaled 3.88 million new vehicle sales across the world – with results like this behind us we can reinforce consumer confidence in our brand. More than ever, the new Peugeot 508 embodies our ambition; to be the best high-end generalist automotive brand in the world.”

A bold design

The designers behind the new Peugeot 508 stated their aim clearly; to move away from the conventional boot-lid, four-door shape and evolve the design towards a five-door fastback.

The car’s height has been reduced giving it the aerodynamic lines of a coupé.

Whilst remaining true to its acclaimed predecessors – the iconic Peugeot 504 and 504 coupé – the new 508 is a sleeker, more seductive

shape. The front end’s purposeful stance is highlighted by the radiator grill, complete with a chrome-plated chequerboard effect, it sits between the LED headlights with the famous Peugeot Lion centred on its grill and the 508 logo on the bonnet.

Vertical LED daytime running lights provide a distinct identity, and the bonnet has been lowered to enhance the dynamic look perfectly aligned with modern Peugeot design language. The roof line of the new Peugeot 508 is low and sleek - following premium sector design cues – and the rear lights are framed in a glossy black horizontal strip that now features on many of Peugeot’s latest vehicles.

Three-dimensional full LED rear lights inspired by recent Peugeot concept cars appear like coloured ‘lion claws’ a design feature synonymous with the Peugeot brand.

Cutting-edge technology: PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® Inside the new Peugeot 508, the focus is on quality and originality. The premium instrument panel is centred around the latest version of the exemplary Peugeot i-Cockpit® which is now in its third generation.

issan will unveil an all-new sedan and display two electrified concept vehicles at this year’s Shanghai International Automobile Exhibition, showing visitors how the company’s technologies and design are changing the future of mobility.

The all-new sedan features Nissan’s latest distinctive design cues and offers an array of technologies that embody Nissan Intelligent Mobility, the company’s vision for changing how cars are powered, driven and integrated into society.

First unveiled in January at the 2019 North American International Auto Show, the IMs defines a new vehicle segment – the elevated sports sedan. The vehicle’s design takes advantage of its 100% electric powertrain, with the battery located under the body. Along with an extended wheelbase, this results in an elevated, spacious cabin that allows for an innovative seating layout. In autonomous driving mode, the IMs features completely hands-free operation.

In manual mode, it delivers the exciting, highperformance driving experience that only an advanced electric vehicle can provide.

The IMQ crossover is equipped with Nissan’s e-POWER technology, which combines an electric drivetrain with a gasoline engine that generates electricity. Because the wheels are driven solely by the vehicle’s electric motors, the IMQ delivers the same powerful and agile performance as a 100% electric car. Striking with its high beltline and aggressive stance, the IMQ was first unveiled at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show.

The Nissan IMQ concept crossover will be showcased at the 2019 Shanghai Motor Show Visitors to the Shanghai show will also see a full range of current Nissan models, including the Lannia and Tiida, the legendary GT-R performance machine, and the world’s bestselling electric car – the Nissan LEAF. Nissan’s SUVs – the Kicks, Murano, Patrol, Qashqai, Terra and X-Trail – will round out the lineup of vehicles on display.

The 18th Shanghai International Automobile Exhibition will take place at the National Exhibition and Convention Center. The show is open to the public from April 18-25. www.theciin.com

From green construction methods, energy efficient architecture and cooperation with local communities and businesses, Luštica Bay is on a mission to become a model of sustainability presenting ‘Life as it Should Be’.

est in South Eastern Europe at 690 hectares. When finished it will feature a selection of waterfront residences, townhouses, seven hotels, a vibrant town centre, two world-class marinas, golf and lifestyle facilities, all set against a stunning mountainous backdrop along a breathtaking stretch of the Adriatic coastline. To represent true Montenegrin living, the coastal town has been carefully designed to preserve and sustain the beauty of its natural environment, whilst reflecting the surrounding historical architecture of this stunning country.

May, 2019

With luxury five star hotel, The Chedi Luštica Bay and a variety of marina front residences and town-centre apartments, Luštica Bay provides peace of mind to holiday-goers, sailors, home-buyers and investors alike thanks to its sustainable approach and vision.

Here are seven reasons why Luštica Bay is the ultimate green-friendly destination:

112

ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION

Less then 10% of the 690 hectare site will be developed, safeguarding the area’s natural beauty and ensuring ample wide-open green spaces. The development’s low density ensures that the indigenous landscape is preserved and is designed in a way to blend into the existing topography and surrounding terrain.

Attention is also given to conserving the marine environment, protecting native flora and fauna and maintaining historical and archaeological sites, plus all plant and trees used are indigenous to the Montenegrin coast and have been organically cultivated.

HARMONIOUS ARCHITECTURE

Using local materials, referencing traditional architecture and entwining with the natural patterns of the land and sea, buildings harmoniously express the character and cultural heritage of the region. This in turn helps reduce the project’s carbon footprint.

THE MARINA

Care for the environment has played a large part in the development of the first 176-slip marina, built sustainably into the seafloor without steel-reinforced concrete. The stone used for its breakwaters were taken from excavations when the build of the 18-hole championship Luštica Bay golf course was taking place.

Thanks to the use of safe materials and greenfriendly construction, recent environmental assessments results actually show an increase marine life in the area since construction began.

TRANSPORT INITIATIVES

Luštica Bay has been designed and equipped

to minimise vehicular traffic, helping to maintain the quiet and clean air in the area. The town’s design heavily focuses on pedestrianised network with vehicle-free streets, sidewalks and green trails for ease of getting around.

Alternative transport methods and cycling facilities will also help reduce traffic. The Chedi Luštica Bay is also home to destination’s first Tesla chargers helping Montenegro make the first steps towards joining the electric car revolution.

consumption by a third. Methods include using renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. These include facilitating natural ventilation through high ceilings and well-aerated roofs, carefully designed windows and doorways to capture and utilize cross-ventilation, and mechanical systems that use geothermal coils to displace heat into the ground, eliminating the need for noisy condensing units while conserving energy.

GREEN CONSTRUCTION AND TECHNOLOGIES

A number of methods are in place, working with the natural terrain, to reduce the site’s water usage including extensive use of water saving technologies through techniques such as smart irrigation and low consumption plumbing fixtures. These include utilizing natural drainage techniques including infiltration to help treat

SENSE OF COMMUNITY

Luštica Bay works with local neighbourhoods to create a strong community network for environmental initiatives such as community supported agriculture, a local market and efficient recycling systems. The marina promenade supports local businesses with homegrown boutiques and talented Montenegrin designers.

Furthermore, the interior of the villas and The Chedi feature artwork and designs by local businesses and designers, celebrating the surrounding community and local Montenegrin talent.

You’ve come through several intense periods in March and April, but May should be one of your favorite months of 2019. Mars, your guardian planet, is still in Gemini, a lovely place for Mars to be, for you will be stimulated to travel, write, and be more in touch with friends and contacts than usual. Gemini is an air sign that moves quickly, and as a fire sign, Aries, you love moving fast, too. These two signs will work together to quicken the pace. Mars will remain in compatible-sign Gemini until May 15, a place Mars first took up weeks ago, on March 30.

120

You didn’t have the easiest time in April, but May will be a big improvement. This month, money matters will dominate, but with good aspects to the new and full moons, you might just leave the month richer than when you entered it.

The month starts out with a superb aspect, May 2, with communication-planet Mercury touring entrepreneurial Aries, your partnership sector, and receiving lovely golden beams from Jupiter, giver of gifts and luck, based in your contractual sector.

As a Taurus, you can be resistant to change because you tend to like things as they are. One reason for this is that you are a fixed sign, and as I will show you, being a fixed sign can be an honor and privilege, so let’s see from where that term emanates.

When astrologers set up the zodiac, they divided a year into four parts to correspond with the four seasons. Within each season there are three months (and three signs) that are always classified in this respective order: cardinal, fixed, and mutable. Cardinal signs are leaders and anxious to get things moving.

You have an exciting month ahead! You should enjoy the entire month of May, not just part of it. Unlike last month, when planets were often clashing with one another, this month, they will be cooperating and boosting each other’s strengths from start to finish.

The month starts off with a beautiful new moon, to arrive on May 4 in your opposite sign of Taurus at 14 degrees. It will light your seventh house of marriage and business partnerships.

As you begin May, your subconscious will be brilliantly lit. As a Gemini, you are considered a highly intellectual, analytical air sign.

Your mind usually moves at the speed of light, but this month your mental capacity seems different and extra special. Your ability to resynthesize thoughts into the realm of something truly new and innovative will be remarkable.

As the month begins, you will busy with work, for the new moon on May 4, in Taurus 14 degrees, and the ten days that follow will likely trigger an influx of assignments. This will be welcome news, for the new moon and Sun will both signal Saturn and Pluto in your earned income sector (second house), which suggests that you will be happy to have the work, for you will be well paid for all you do.

Last month was an intense month for career, and even though it was fraught with tension, you made a lot of progress. At the same time, a situation involving your physical home or a family member may have also drawn your attention. All in all, April required that you stay alert, and you likely had to make a number of decisions. It was a busy month—at times, trying—but you managed to turn it into a highly productive month, too.

May has all the makings of a fantastically romantic month for you.

May is such a beautiful month with so many excellent aspects that you may proclaim it to be your very favorite of all of 2019.

As you enter May, the new moon on May 4 in Taurus at 14 degrees will make you happy. It will light your solar fifth house of truelove, giving those Capricorns who are single a chance to meet a new and special romantic partner. Capricorns who are attached will join in the joyfulness of this new moon, too.

You’re coming up on a major month for your career, for the May 4 new moon in Taurus at 14 degrees will shine brilliantly in your solar tenth house of honors, awards, and achievement. You’ll find this is the first and only time in 2019 this will happen. Be ready to press forward on a dream you have long held for your career, and be sure to act soon, within the ten days that follow that new moon.

This month will bring lots of attention to your home, and with such sterling help from the planets, you’ll be able to get a lot done. You won’t only focus on your living quarters and family, as you will have much happening with career, money, and fun with friends and plenty of time for romance, too. You seem to have it all, dear Aquarius. This will be a bright, happy month for everyone, but especially for you, as you will have so many positive aspects dotting the entire month, giving you plenty of opportunity to make plans and move forward. You might want to take out your calendar, for you won’t want to miss any of the sparkling days coming up.

You have an exciting, ideal month ahead, and by all estimates, you should be thoroughly invigorated by events that occur now. In the heavens is a buildup of planets in Taurus and Capricorn, earth signs like your Virgo Sun, so you will soon find things start to go your way. Your career is heating up—and I will give you more details on that statement in a minute—so before your professional life starts showing colorful fireworks, see if you can take a thrilling trip to a distant port, one that requires your passport for entry. The May 4 new moon will give you the option to take a truly wonderful trip.

This is a lovely month for you. Do you like to travel? May will brim with exciting opportunities to journey near or far, as your heart desires. If you can’t get away or you’re not particularly interested in traveling this month, there will be plenty of events to keep you busy in terms of thrilling opportunities in writing and public speaking and related fields. There’s more! You’ll have chances to sign up for a course on a new topic or go back to college to update your knowledge in your specialty. Creativity is always important to Pisces, and you will find that in the second half of May you will have plenty of time to devote to artistic, creative, or literary projects. www.theciin.com
