BOSS reveals Fall/Winter 2022 collectionat starstudded show in Milan

BOSS delves deeper into the meaning of the brand’s Be Your Own BOSS core motto with a Fall/Winter 2022 collection deconstructing the idea of power dressing with references to BOSS’s rich sporting heritage.

Unveiled at a star-studded fashion event at Milan’s Velodromo Vigorelli on the night of September 22nd, the collection takes iconic pieces from the BOSS archive as a starting point, and reinvents them for a new generation, to redefine what being a BOSS means today. The new collection was revealed before a packed audience of more than 1,000 guests at Milan Fashion Week. The fashion show was followed by an after party in the same location with a DJ set by headliner Honey Dijon and Orazio Rispo.

Taking inspiration from the power sport of motorcycling, the set-up of the venue featured caged globes of steel, dramatically lit by graphic light beams and lasers. This set the stage for bikers dressed in custom black BOSS outfits to trace a runway on the ground with motorbikes, before entering the spheres to begin a gravity-defying performance as a backdrop to the fashion show. The result was another stunning social media moment for the brand, as it continues to target a younger and more global demographic as part of the HUGO BOSS Group’s CLAIM 5 growth strategy. Understanding that its digital-first consumer wants to purchase runway looks as soon as

they are revealed, BOSS has chosen to continue with the hugely successful “See now, buy now” approach of its BOSS x Russell Athletic and Dubai shows in the past year.

BOSS campaign stars Naomi Campbell, Future, Khaby Lame, Anthony Joshua and Alica Schmidt walked in the show, joined by Ashley Graham, Jordan Barrett, Big Matthew, Adut Akech. Also in attendance and seated front row were brand ambassador Lee Minho, fragrance ambassador Laura Harrier, J Balvin, Bella Thorne, Ross Butler, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Tinashe and Tenoch Huerta. A line-up of social royalty including creators Younes Zarou, Blake Gray, Akamz Twenty, Bella Poarch, Chase Hudson, Zach King and Ox Zung were spotted at the event.

Please tell us about your education I am an Electrical Engineer.

What are your favorite childhood memories?

My childhood memories include visiting my grandparents house for summer holidays and the food that my grandma cooked for me. The time spent at their house was the most beautiful time growing up. Eating their own farm grown mangoes to a point I couldn’t eat anymore was really special.

When and how did you get into modeling?

I was in college when there were auditions happening for Miss India and I had exams I was preparing for. I started to get a lot of suggestions from my friends that I must give it a try. All the media suggested I should try for it. Since, they already saw me winning some local pageants back then. This instilled an idea and I thought I must really go for it.

I remember I had an examination at the same time of the audition and I went for the exam entered the classroom my heart wasn’t there I was only thinking of the audition as soon as I entered the invigilator said “you are late “ to which I replied “you are right I am very late I got to go “ and I turned around walked out of that exam hall without giving my paper while everyone thought I was crazy I got back home got ready for the audition and nailed it.

From one audition to the other kept making it all the way through to Miss India Goa winner to Miss India United continents to international pageant. Miss United continents in South America. Then happened the shows on television and led to web series and other projects that’s how I landed here in the showbiz by making that unconventional choice.

And how did you get a start in acting and movies?

After winning the international pageant I started getting a lot of offers and I took them and here I am making the most of every opportunity.

You are a multitalented personality being a model pageant winner and actress, tell us which part of the journey did you enjoy the most? and was this what you always wanted to do? Acting is something I enjoy the most. I feel like this is something I always wanted to do and I have found my calling.

Women Fitness India, talks about celebrity diets and fitness regimes, do you follow any special diets, and what diet schedule did you have during your pageant journey? When I was preparing for Miss United Continents, I used to wake up at 7 a.m. and workout 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. everyday and I still continue to do that. It’s the discipline I have developed over the years. I love working out in the morning. As far as the diet is concerned, I would eat clean, high protein diet. It may change according to the requirement. The only thing that still exists is I don’t consume gluten and sugar.

What consists of your fitness routine? How do you manage it when traveling? Its usually difficult to follow your diet and fitness and routine while you’re travelling because sometimes the availability of some things my not be there and that might cause problem. It’s very difficult and you have to be very disciplined and adjusting with the food that you get in that hotel that you are staying. In all the shoots that your shooting at sometimes you might not get food that you mostly include in your diet and such places and that get challenging. So, I try to keep it simple and basic. I carry my protein powders so that at least I can have that and if I don’t get a salad or chicken then I can have boiled eggs. But the one thing that I really like is to hit the gym really early in the morning the first thing as I wake up. Sometimes that can be really hard because if your shooting and you have early call times like at 4:00 a.m. or 3:00 a.m. Call times can get erratic and that’s a challenge and how you make through it is important.

Social media comes with its own pros and cons, how do you deal with the ugly side of social media, like trolling, and negative comments? Social media does have its pros and cons. Since, I have been handling the pressure of social media from a very early stage since I started doing Miss

India, when I was really, really young, and I had a public profile at a very young age. I think I’ve had my share of being affected by the people’s opinion and comments. I was very young at that age to understand, but I think my father always told me that the higher you grow in life, the more popular you become, the more opinions are there for you, you know, people are always going to have an opinion about you, especially when you’re popular, especially when you’re a public figure.

It is something that learning was instilled in me at a very young age by my father. My father is a very liberal man. Although, I don’t come from a creative family or a family who has a creative background. But my father definitely has a fair understanding about what would have been had a fair understanding about what I would be facing, what challenges I would be facing, on my journey of being popular achieving fame at a very young age. He explained it to me and made me quite tough mentally to handle all these situations. As you grow, you understand that these are the people hiding behind anonymity, who themselves do not have a display picture or a real name handing hiding behind fake accounts. These people have their own issues, you know, the older you grow, the more complexities of the world and people you get to understand. So, I have understood this at a very young age that people are very complex, and their people are very insecure, and their insecurities show on Instagram or in terms of comments or hate comments or trolls. So, it’s not really about you, it’s about them and difficulties that they are facing and it reflects on social media, so I really feel sorry for them but I have learned very well how to handle it.

Name your dream role you’d like to do one day?

I would love to do roles like Angelina Jolie’s role in Salt or the Tomb Raider or the Wonder Woman’s role too is great. I’d like to do such action-oriented roles.

Three things that make you happy?

The 3 things that make me happy are spending time with my family, working really hard as I am a workaholic and staying idle isn’t my personality. I would like to take a vacation once in awhile and when I’m working, I’m the happiest. The third thing that makes me happy is good food, travelling and socializing.

Do you have any tricks or routines to stay healthy and beautiful?

The tricks and the routines to stay healthy and have a beautiful body and beautiful skin is healthy diet, healthy mind and that’ll lead to a healthy body. Working out everyday is very essential not only for your physical health but also your mental health.

Doing things that make you happy also contribute a lot to your well-being, the way you look. I’ve always believed that your face is an index to your mind and how you look is an index to your mind and what goes on in your mind is reflected on your face and your overall being. The more sorted, less complicated, the simpler you are in your head is going to reflect in your overall being.

Do you have any other secret talent(s)?

I do have secret talents. I love playing a little bit of musical instruments like the piano and little bit of guitar and I have a natural inclination towards music.

What is your message for your fans in the middle-east?

My message to the Middle East is first of all thank you so much for supporting me and for showering me with so much love. Stay healthy, because what is inside you is going to reflect on the outside. Let’s not get into the showcasing a perfect image on social media trying to achieve perfection. I think the beauty lies in imperfections. Let’s embrace our mistakes we all commit mistakes let’s not beat ourselves over the things that we do that make us human and help us grow. Keep learning, keep growing.

You are an inspiration, to our readers who wish to be pageant winners one piece of advice is if you could give to your younger self what would it be?

The advice that I would like to give my younger self is that if you want something, don’t wait for anybody’s approval Don’t wait for anyone’s validation. If your heart seeks it, if your mind thinks about it constantly, go get it. Don’t let anybody tell you can’t because that’s wrong.

Your message for us at CiiN magazine. I’d really like to thank CiiN Magazine for featuring me on their cover. It’s really an honor. I wish you all the best, I wish you all the growth and success.

OMEGA & THE NEW SPEEDMASTER '57 IS HERE!

George Clooney and Hyun Bin Wear The OMEGA Speedmaster ’57

The actors George Clooney and Hyun Bin are taking a front seat role in the promotion of OMEGA’s new Speedmaster ’57 collection.

Perfectly complementing both sides of the famous chronograph, Clooney brings his classic style and iconic character to the campaign, yet again highlighting his longstanding connection to OMEGA. On the other hand, Hyun Bin is the rising star, with a cool and modern spirit that epitomises the Speedmaster’s constant evolution.

As the name suggests, the Speedmaster ’57 is emblematic of the original Speedmaster design, which was released in 1957 for racing car drivers and engineers on the track. As

a tribute, today’s Speedmaster ’57 collection of eight new watches has been delivered with a slim style, colourful dial choices, a vintage bracelet, and an outstanding CoAxial Master Chronometer 9906 movement – reaching the pinnacle of precision, magnetic-resistance, and performance.

Raynald Aeschlimann, President and CEO of OMEGA, says “The Speedmaster ’57 is known for its quality and timeless charm. George Clooney and Hyun Bin are the perfect leading men to showcase these values and prove exactly how the timepiece fits with the dashing style of today.”

George Clooney is a long-time friend of OMEGA and, in many ways, both he and the Speedmaster share the same story. Both their lives began in the optimistic years of the space age, and both are known for their lasting popularity and qualities of excellence.

For this shoot, George wears the stainless steel model with a PVD blue dial (ref: 332.10.41.51.03.001). Amongst the new portraits, the actor can be seen wearing the timepiece while driving a vintage car near his home around Lake Como – a nod to the Speedmaster’s racing origins.

A NEW REVERSO ONE IN GREEN

For 2022, La Grande Maison introduces a new aesthetic interpretation of one of its most admired models for women, the Reverso One. Distinguished, like all Reverso models, by the strength and purity of line derived from the original Art Deco design and identified by the three straight-line gadroons that define both the upper and lower edges of the case, the new Reverso One introduces a captivating intense green colour adding new refinement to the collection.

With its elongated case – a design inspired by the very first Reverso Lady model of 1931 – and a row of grain-set diamonds defining the gadroons at the upper and lower edges of the case, Reverso One interprets femininity in a classically refined style. Finely drawn lines define the four corners of the dial, where the light and airy Arabic numerals look almost as if they have been hand-sketched.

THE ICONIC ANTIFER AND SERTI SUR VIDE COLLECTIONS OF REPOSSI IN THEIR LOCAL CAMPAIGN

SHOT IN DUBAI ANTIFER

Inspired by the shape of the cliffs of Antifer in Normandy, the timeless Antifer collection is characterized by a simple line forming a cliff, which stacks architecturally in an asymmetrical rhythm.

SERTI SUR VIDE

Like a floating diamond, as a simple, strong, and unique design, “Serti Sur Vide” collection features a diamond which is “set on the void”.

The collection reinvents iconic jewelry classics, like the solitaire ring: the diamond is floating to reveal the stone purity. It is set on a hidden structure and float on the skin as in a magnetic levitation.

THE

ROKSANDA X FILA

46

As the original sports brand that daringly opened up sportswear views well beyond the sports field, FILA cultivates an innovative drive which naturally leads to unexpected collaborations and surprising couplings. The newest installment in this series of progressive trespassings is the collaboration with ROKSANDA.

A graduate of Central Saint Martins with training in Architecture and Applied Arts in her native Belgrade, Roksanda Ilincic founded the namesake label ROKSANDA more than fifteen years ago, gaining accolades for her unique use of color, architectural yet flowing shapes, innovative use of fabrics, and dedicated focus on craftsmanship.

A woman designing for women, ROKSANDA keeps channeling a personal definition of beauty, creating pieces that reveal the wearer’s personality while providing a sense of shelter and refuge through their unique design. Colors and shapes reveal an ongoing dialogue with modern and contemporary art, as part of a multidisciplinary approach in which art, dance, and fashion meet.

ROKSANDA x FILA is the encounter between two very different identities

to create a new one, at once unexpected and authentic. ROKSANDA’s blown-up, dramatic shapes, and vibrant colors meet the technicality and straightforwardness of FILA, blending an artistic sense of feminine empowerment with the pragmatism of sport-style. In devising the collection, ROKSANDA worked around her very own themes of shelter and protection, which she brought into the outdoors, in contact with the elements, according to the active FILA ethos. The collection revolves around humongous duvets that wrap the body allowing the wearer to seek refuge into their volumes, mixed with leisurewear inspired by parachutes incorporating FILA technical and high-performance fabrics.

A selection of leggings, t-shirts, sports bras, and jackets grounds the offer, which is completed with padded bags and oversized moon boots.

The dialogue between the respective identities carries over in the color palette: an idiosyncratic mix of the tropic, porcelain, black, and fluoro orange with notes of chalk, champagne, butter, pearl, taupe, and fluoro pink.

RALPH LAUREN INTRODUCES THE POLO ID COLLECTION

Ralph Lauren introduces the Polo ID Collection, a new family of accessories that embraces a spirit of adventure, romance, and optimism. The namesake hardware seen throughout the line spotlights the iconic Pony Player logo and takes inspiration from vintage ID bracelets; family heirlooms that are collected, engraved, and passed between generations as a keepsake that is memorable and timeless. The collection is comprised of handbags, small leather goods, footwear, and belts.

Four handbag silhouettes evoke an equestrian sensibility and feature the sleek brass hardware with a cut-out of the Pony Player. The ID Shoulder bag, the largest style in the collection, has a spacious, dual- compartment saddle silhouette with suede interior construction. An adjustable strap with bombé detailing allows the bag to sit comfortably beneath the shoulder or to be extended to style as a crossbody. The ID Mini Shoulder bag portrays this silhouette and detail in a smaller scale, and is made versatile with a strap that can transform the style from a shoulder bag into a croissant-shaped wristlet. The ID Saddle bag is designed for the woman in motion and has an adjustable strap to allow the saddle silhouette to sit at the waist or comfortably crossbody, and is finished with a magnetic teardrop slide lock. The ID Envelope bag merges the structural elegance of an envelope silhouette with a chain link- and-leather strap, and features bombé detailing and tonal topstitching. Each handbag comes in a range of colorways and fabrications including Calfskin, CrocEmbossed Calfskin, Leather-Trim Suede, and Canvas.

L'Couture drops fashion-forward styles with All-Around Lounge

This season, Bally’s AW22 Menswear Collection pushes boundaries through intelligent craftsmanship and the evolution of the modern wardrobe by focusing on timeless designs.

The collection features ready-to-wear pieces with woven and crocheted accessories that are reflected by a tactile journey and completed with bombé-edged footwear, ribbed suede accents, and soft haircalf styles to preserve craft traditions while accentuating the brand’s commitment to sustainability and incorporating eco-friendly processes.

Creating a sense of intimacy irrespective of surroundings, the AW 2022 collection mirrors a personal approach to belonging, a transitory passage into a sharp, sartorial world where sentiment and comfort are of primary essence.

DSQUARED2 AUTUMN WINTER 2022 WOMENSWEAR COLLECTION #D2takeatrip

The bohemian travellers of the Fall Winter 2022 collection are on a spiritual path to explore places unseen. After years of staying at home, gazing at the world outside with wanderlust, they travel with intentions of peace and love. They want their global community to live in harmony and they dress with the same attitude.

These voyagers wear layers that offer protection, comfort, and reveal memories of their travels—like souvenirs collaged together. An earthy palette of natural hues, rust, amber, forest green, carmine red and bark brown offset the multi-layer silhouettes and the fabric textures of tech feel gum, lustrous leather to fuzzy mohair.

Hidden stones glimmer in a long tunic tulle skirt of the first look, worn with a striped knit and oversized washed jeans. Outerwear wraps cosily around, gigantic vests and puffers—some cut from soft leather with felted-lined hoods. Sheer nylon pants show their down filling, and puffer nylon boots are made for walking softly over unchartered ground.

A freewheeling spirit gives the collection a rosy glow: cords and

velvets in loose pants, paired with printed blouses and hewn-cut stone necklaces. A devoré velvet dress with an ochre floral print is layered with pants and a long apricot shearling vest. Other dresses are cut from graphic print silks or in tulle appliquéd with embroidery and mini pompoms. Kilts in a patchwork of tartans are doubled up with Dsquared2 DNA of denim or a puffer. Jeans and a jacket are constructed with multiple pockets or come over loose, washed until they are ultra-soft and worn over suede soft fringed booties.

Knits in maxi stripes, or graphic patterns top mini leather or long check skirts. Another dress is topped with a high-cropped gum jacket. The line-up is worn with suede moccasins that lace-up to the knees or tech booties and sandals, and clogs for those travellers who have found somewhere relaxing to set their backpack down. Bags also come padded or in shearling, in organic, soft shapes such as a shirred shoulder and a mini duffle that fit snugly under the arm. Jewellery is collected on the way: beaded earrings, metal rings and bracelets featuring silver balls and bells. The adornments make gentle sounds as Dsquared2’s travellers venture out into the world on a mission to connect it together with peace and love.

CAROLINA HERRERA - SPRING 2023 COLLECTION

A beloved book of Wes Gordon’s childhood, The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett was the starting point of this collection, inspired by its romantic depiction of nature and beauty.

A garden of visual delights, this collection is unabashedly romantic, with oversize balloon sleeves in hand-painted tea roses and peonies and a maximalist verve thanks to matching head-to-toe accessories. The collection opens with a stripe cotton blouse paired with a warp-print taffeta ball skirt, evoking the effortless American glamour of Bunny Mellon, the ultimate elegant gardener.

A precisely tailored double-breasted suit is paired with a dash of red floral chiffon. An architectural column dress in poppy red and a black wool jacket feature blossoms blooming from the seams. The iconic Herrera cotton shirt is expertly crafted and reimagined with an oversized floral rosettes, perched atop the shoulder.

A kaleidoscope of floral prints harmonize with femininely tailored separates in jet black. Evening is given a decidedly softer hand with dresses rendered in anemone print chiffons, delicately stitched together in a whirl of optimistically bright colorways. Hundreds of yards of tulle are pleated and gathered by hand to create sculptural hems that take on lives of their own in movement, like undulating rows of flowers in bloom in abundance.

Since 1853, the Gran Hotel Inglés hotel had entertained a kaleidoscope of VIPs from Virginia Woolf to Henri Matisse, but after 168 years, the grand old pile in Madrid’s historic Barrio de las Letras quarter but the property has remained a constant figure –albeit an ever-evolving one. Today the boutique hotel has been lovingly restored and reborn as one of the finest properties in the Spanish capital.

The narrow streets that surround Gran Hotel Inglés are steeped in history, lined with tapas bars, bestin-class restaurants and quirky shopping boutiques. True to its stalwart reputation, the grand old property has seen a few things in its time. Originally opened in 1853 as a café in the characterful Barrio de las Letras area, the property attracted writers, artists and the aristocracy to gather in Madrid’s beating heart, until it was eventually converted into a hotel – in fact, it was the first hotel in the city to have its own restaurant in 1886.

With only 48 rooms and suites, designed with Art Deco features and luxe relaxation in mind, Gran Ho tel Inglés has been completely restored and renovat ed under the artistic direction of Rockwell Group, to be reborn as one of the finest properties in today’s Madrid. Rockwell Group brought back the glamour, elegance and innovation of the city’s oldest hotel, weaving original imagery and salvaged historic items into its design. The lobby ceiling has statement cir cular chandeliers and, inspired by a classic English manor, a central lobby bar is surrounded by a round cocktail lounge intended as a gathering spot for locals as much as for international visitors.

Owners, Carmen Cordón and Ignacio Jiménez kept the promise made by the hotel’s original owner, Don Agustín Ibarra, to “spare no sacrifice when it comes to the furniture or to the many modern technologies that can be used in your new home.” Just like Don Agustín in his day, Carmen and Ignacio scoured the seven seas to capture and translate the magnificence of the salons, rooms and dining areas into the Gran Hotel Inglés’s present-day incarnation. David Rock well and his team became enamoured with the his tory of Madrid and the project and, poured their ex pertise into ensuring that their first complete historic hotel project in Spain would be an establishment of excellence. During the renovation, the number of rooms and suites was reduced to just 48, in a dis play of contemporary design so that guests would no longer have to cross the hallway to use the bathroom. Most rooms comprise both a bathtub and a shower, something that was unthinkable in the 1880s and that is not easily executed today. Rooms and suites range from Deluxe, opening out onto their own light-filled courtyard, to the Meller Suite, complete with its own private terrace with jacuzzi, or the top Presidential Suite, with separate bedroom, working area, living room, dining area and guest bathroom, as well as a charming private terrace facing the Echegaray Street.

This area is where the city’s theatres opened in courtyards at the end of the 16th century, and where many giants of the Golden Age of Spanish literature had their homes, including Cervantes, Lope de Vega and Quevedo. Be it for a cup of hotchocolate with churros in the Plaza del Ángel, a promenade to visit the original home of Cervantes, a late evening visit to the old Botanic Gardens and to buy flowers at the oldest florist in Spain, or drinks and live music with friends at Café Central, one of the best jazz clubs in the world... history lives in these streets, coined the birthplace of Spanish theatre and the arts, and the Gran Hotel Inglés is a custodian of this quintessential madrileño culture. The Barrio de las Letras is one of Madrid’s most central neighbourhoods – a dynamic, cultural melting pot studded with monuments – and so moving around the Spanish capital and its surrounding areas is simple, no matter the mode of transporta tion. Gran Hotel Inglés enables its guests to live Madrid’s history in the present day, while effortlessly enjoying all the contempo rary delights of this energetic city.

WORLD-CLASS GASTRONOMY

Gran Hotel Inglés was the first hotel in Madrid to have its own restaurant. To day, exquisite, traditionally ‘Madrid’ food is served at CASA LOBO, with social open-plan kitchens typically found in the large mansions of the Barrio de las Let ras, presided over by the culinary genius, two Michelin star chef Fernando Arel lano. There is also the lobby bar, Lob Byto, that comes alive with live music, delicious tapas and sharing plates, and smooth cocktails to spill secrets over. Chef Arellano presides over the kitchens at Gran Hotel Inglés with a mission to re store and reinterpret – without changing – some of the most delicious recipes of Madrid, full of nuances that once thrilled the guests of Don Agustín, turning his property into a culinary benchmark in the Spanish capital. The name ‘Casa Lobo’ originates from the former name of the street on which Gran Hotel Inglés sits, known today as Calle Echegaray – previ ously Calle del Lobo, translating literally to “Wolf Street”.

A STEP BACK IN TIME

A ‘cultural hub’ that opened in 1853, dubbed the Café Inglés, marks the origin of the hotel. This was a place for writers, artists, and the aristocracy to gather in the city’s beating heart. It was not however until 27 July 1886 that La Correspondencia de España announced to its readers “with satisfaction” that the “active and very well-known owner of the Café Inglés, Don Agustín Ibarra, has just acquired a marvellous house under construction and has the exclusive aim of turning it into a hotel; and on the extremely spa cious ground floor he will build a restaurant that is just as good or better than what you can find abroad.” The construction and refur bishment of the building cost Don Agustín some 90,000 pesetas and on 17 December 1886, the Gran Hotel Inglés was officially inaugurated. While the nightly room rate has risen somewhat from ten pesetas per night charged back then, its premise as a home from home with elegant and restful rooms, multiple private spaces to host intimate functions and gatherings of like-minded folk, a re nowned chef and pastry chef, an excellent local and international wine list and so much more, remains.

Gran Hotel Inglés enables its guests to live Madrid’s history in the present day, while effortlessly enjoying all the contemporary delights of this energetic city.

Concrete and Gold Intermingle and Set theTone at Blunt

Following the departure of a neighboring tenant, Blunt – an already wellestablished hair salon in Montreal – seized the opportunity to expand and develop its service offering. Taking on the challenge, local agency, Issadesign, designed a layout that merged the existing space with the new one. From the beginning, the design team engaged in a constructive dialogue with its clients in order to find the right balance between the two.

In order to preserve Blunt's original visual signature, as well as the visual concept previously conceived by the Jean de Lessard agency, Issadesign opted to keep the tubular structures that so-characterize the salon. The idea was to preserve them and to give them a new lease on life by recoloring them. "We wanted to let the installation live, and to not distort it. We felt that we had to free it up by giving it back the space it deserves," says designer Marie Eve Issa. "The complex path proposed by this playful ensemble creates a visual path throughout the existing premises, which is then continued within the extension by adding fitted structures’’.

Materiality

To complete the transformation, the space was given a brand-new materiality combining concrete and brass. Issadesign tried to avoid the gender-bending decorative elements that are often present in beauty spaces. The redesigned interior of the salon features textured materials that harmonize with the raw and assertive aspects of the space, thus expressing the essence of the "blunt" salon. The tinted grey is given pride of place because not only does it act as a neutral and timeless element, but it also echoes the materials of the neighborhood – Griffintown - a former industrial territory where concrete, brick, and metal are omnipresent. This texture is accompanied and enhanced by the warm tones of gold, creating a trendy industrial atmosphere.

Concept and strategies

In terms of design, the challenge was to establish a certain visual and functional continuity between the sectors. The bar-café takes center-stage and is placed in the center of the space, acting as a socializing place; a connecting core. Within the new sector, there is a large reception counter with a work and consultation area in the back dedicated to the trichology service, a study in hair health. The counter area uses the language of the line and is consistent with the project's overall linear design. It is a simple and subtle gesture that unifies the two areas.

It was important for the client to showcase the specialty products and, for this reason, integrated shelves were designed to highlight the products from the entrance. To complete the look, the mezzanine was converted into a friendly employee lounge, with a touch of exclusivity.

The result is a modern and sophisticated lounge with an industrial touch, custom fixtures, and furnishings that give passers-by, employees, and clients a new lease on life.
