EXCLUSIVE NEW SNEAKER AT SOLE DXB

HUGO has debuted its most coveted new sneaker, the HU-GO1ST, at Sole DXB – the region’s premier culture and lifestyle festival that took place at Dubai Design District from 9-11 December.

HUGO made their Sole DXB statement with the exclusive launch of the limited-edition HU-GO1ST sneakers. The experience was further elevated by the invitation of renowned international Syrian artist, Dina Saadi who customized limited pairs in HUGO brand colors with an added touch of green: a nod to the UAE flag. Dina’s art depicts the diversity of urban spaces, the characteristics of modern life, the allure of wildlife, and the beauty of nature. The HU-GO1ST sneakers showcase subtle design, and with the unique blend of Dina’s style and HUGO’s modern identity, festival goers enjoyed creating customized pairs for themselves with Dina’s artistic assistance.

The limited-edition HU-GO1ST sneaker is a nod to the generation that embraces a daring attitude when it comes to creating fun, festival-inspired looks.

Embracing the ultra-hip vibe of Sole DXB, HUGO’s booth was attended by several celebrated regional talents such as Parvané Barett, Lana Al Beik, and Korrii, among others. Dubai-based open-format DJs GT and DJ DNK were also seen playing on the terrace, creating a musical ambiance that immersed the crowd with vibrant energy.

This exclusive sneaker launched at Sole DXB is now available across HUGO stores in Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emirates in limited quantities.

For Spring 2023, Givenchy and (b).STROY unveil a capsule collection that looks to the future of fashion through inclusivity, innovative materials, silhouettes, and details. For Givenchy, (b).

STROY offers a sort of eternity loop of positive and negative space, layered colors and distressed effects — as well as on the double-headed hoodie that featured in the "American Fashion" exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (through September 5th, 2022).

Givenchy essentials for women and men include oversized, draped t-shirts with funky graphics, all-over print in bright blue, pink and yellow on t-shirts and jeans. Women's accessories include limited-edition variations on the Antigona soft, now with metal charms; the Moon Cut-Out shoulder bag and the G-tote with a colorful optical print on a denim base.

REPOSSI IS PROUD TO UNVEIL THE ICONIC BERBERE DESIGN REINTERPRETED AS A PENDANT

Focused on rings and ear cuffs for a decade, establishing the Berbere collection as a signature design, it is now time to reveal a new Module Pendant to complete the collection and pay tribute to the collection’s essence and emblematic codes.

A tribute to the iconic Berbere Module paved ring: This new pendant offers a bold reinterpretation of the decomposed Berbere signature ring. Playing with contrast between void and full, the pendant showcases every key element of the ring: the plain gold circle, the line of paving diamonds, the signature bar.

Faithful to the collection’s avant-garde spirit, the unexpected double-chain brings character to this unconventional yet easy-to-wear pendant.

Berbere is an iconic collection of the Maison Repossi. It features the repetition of a minimalist gold line to be worn as a second skin, reinterpreting the native tattoos of the Tuareg Berbers, nomads inhabiting the Northern African desert. The collection is also inspired by modern and contemporary art, referring to minimalist artist Donald Judd and his repetitive shapes.

Additional styles bearing the label Reused are made from surplus materials, again to limit the use of virgin fabrics and create something new from what we already have. These include a graphic, oversize

sweater and matching knitted hat, and a unique padded jacket with a graphic design resembling mountain peaks.

Finally, a selection of Responsible styles completes the BOSS x PHIPPS collection, including organic cotton tees and scarves, high-top sneakers with vegan uppers developed from pineapple leaf fibers, and a color-block backpack in certified recycled polyester.

WEAR THAT HIGHLIGHTS THE LATEST FALL TRENDS THIS SEASON

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.

AUBADE ANNOUNCES ITS FIRSTEVER EXCLUSIVE COLLABORATION WITH JEWELER MARIE LICHTENBERG

Aubade is pleased to launch an exclusive locket designed and crafted by Marie Lichtenberg, specifically for Aubade’s stores in Dubai and Kuwait in early December. The ‘One Love, One Heart’ locket, which will be limited in quantity with only 10 pieces in Dubai and 10 pieces in Kuwait, is a handmade extraordinary tale of craftsmanship adorned with precious stones and a sentimental universal phrase.

Designed by one of the most sought-after jewelry designers, this unique locket is an artistic translation of the jeweler’s vision, making love tangible with whomever is nestling it graciously on their neckline. As an exclusive emblem of love, the finely carved gold pendant barrel is set with a diamond heart surrounded by multicolor gemstone stars.

The inscription ‘One Love, One Heart’ is an homage and a reinterpretation of the designer’s first iconic locket design, all stemming from a locket-necklace that her family member gifted her as a young girl. With that gift, she was able to spark connection with the tangible and sentimental element of jewelry. Similarly, this exclusive locket promises to be the best gift for yourself, or someone cherished by you, as it is a priceless heirloom that is ideal to be passed down for generations, going beyond a stated degree of time.

Berluti x Land Rover

A new exceptional project

Berluti is adding a new, one-of-a-kind piece to its lifestyle objects collection with a customised vintage Land Rover that reflects the Maison’s deep-rooted taste for exceptional lifestyle know-how.

Conceived as a reflection of the Maison’s passion for exceptional moments, shared experiences and adventures in style outside the beaten path, Berluti’s Land Rover is an iconic 1963 model, one of the first 4 x 4 vehicles to expand its reach from profesional use to leisure travel.

Repainted in its original sand colour, this Land Rover is given a

Berluti touch with a convertible canvas hood printed with an overblown Scritto motif, as well as seven renewed seats covered in Venezia leather with a timeless Cacao Intenso patina. The dashboard, with its analog chrome mileage counter, has been highlighted, and the storage space optimised, with new hidden pockets and cases inspired by the interior compartments in iconic Berluti bags. The car’s original technical simplicity has also been preserved, with subtle upgrades (power steering, disk brakes) allowing it to be driven on all roads with its timeless, ultra-light aluminium bodywork and its 2.3, 77 horse-power, 4 cylinder petrol engine.

Car accessories feature travel blankets, a small Nino pouch and a keyring; as well as backpacks conceived especially for hiking expeditions, and a two-place hammock, an expression of Berluti’s flair for savoirvivre. Made of canvas and leather, it can be hung from the car on one side, and from a specially conceived metallic stand - or a tree - on the other.

Berluti’s classic yet adventurous Land Rover matches the Winter 2022 collection mood and its highlighted pieces, including workwear-inspired silhouettes, technical Venezia leather down jackets and the new, outdoors-ready Aspen and Ultima Neo boots.

Berluti’s customised Land Rover is made to order and available upon request.

VACHERON CONSTANTIN UNVEILS ITS NEW ÉGÉRIE COLLECTION NOVELTIES

Vacheron Constantin unveils its new Égérie collection novelties, the Égérie Creative Edition, a new reference inspired by the delicacy of Burano lace and the New Moon Phase Creations in pink gold.

Égérie Creative Edition

Unique in terms of seniority, since its activity has continued uninterrupted since its founding in 1755, Vacheron Constantin also stands out for its longstanding complicity with women. The new Égérie Creative Edition watch is now writing a new chapter in this relationship. Combining the finesse of Burano lace which inspired it with the watchmaking excellence cherished by the Maison, the new reference bears fresh

testimony to the art of Belle Haute Horlogerie. Unveiled in 2020, the Eìgeìrie collection is designed as an ode to femininity mingling Haute Couture and Haute Horlogerie. The Eìgeìrie timepiece draws on the decorative craftsmanship that has been an integral part of the Manufacture since the early 19th century. Like the lace-makers of Burano crafting the most delicate creations with their needles, the Master Artisans have applied their art of engraving, enamelling, tapisserie and setting to the service of contemporary femininity.

Égérie collection: new moon phase creations in pink gold

A full diamond-set version

Full-set with 1,377 diamonds totalling approx. 12.35 carats.

THE BLACK BEE PRESTIGE EDITION BY BÄUMER & BACCARAT

THE QUINTESSENCE OF ARTISTIC CRAFTSMANSHIP

It is the quintessence of artistic craftsmanship, in its rarest, most beautiful form. The alliance of three great French houses, long-time friends

driven by the same passion for excellence and exceptional savoir-faire. And above all, a dazzling, sublime homage to Guerlain’s emblem: the Bee, the sentinel of the environment and the guardian of future generations. With The Black Bee Prestige Edition, the majestic bottle imagined in 2010 by Lorenz Bäumer, a renowned Parisian jeweller of the Place Vendôme, is reedited for the first time in a decade. More sumptuous than ever with its deep black crystal body and its wings faceted like diamonds, the iconic piece is a genuine technical feat, entirely handcrafted by the master glassmakers of the prestigious house of Baccarat.

“This bottle was inspired by the black bee of the is-

land of Ouessant, which I love because it looks so Art deco, with its black and white body”

“The fragrance is hidden, yet it is celebrated at the same time; you know it’s there, without seeing it. It is this contrast between the bee’s opaque body and the diamond-like radiance of the transparent wings, the way light circulates, just like in a gem, that makes this object so magic.” - Lorenz Bäumer

Today, Lorenz Bäumer’s glittering jewel-bottle relives, crafted for the very first time by the Ateliers Baccarat in black crystal, the most precious of all, the most difficult to fashion. A genuine crystal masterpiece. A genuine masterpiece of the art of crystal making, The Black Bee Prestige Edition marks the apogee of a collaboration anchored in history. For this fabulous, entirely handcrafted piece, Baccarat has drawn from the quintessence of its know-hows.

A BEE BORN OF FIRE, WATER, AIR, AND METAL

To fashion the crystal Bee designed by Lorenz Bäumer, with its wings faceted like diamonds, the master glassmakers of the Ateliers Baccarat must master very different, opposite elements: metal, fire, and air. It is the mysterious blend of these elements that turns a ball of fire, radiant as molten gold, into a streamlined, elegant object.

AN EXCLUSIVE, RADIANTLY FACETED EXTRAIT DE PARFUM

This crystal masterpiece deserved an exclusive, timeless olfactory creation. An Extrait de parfum as radiant and faceted as crystal: Imagine Guerlain, the precious fragrance conceived for The Black Bee Prestige Edition by Guerlain Master Perfumer Thierry Wasser.

Like the Bee that holds it, the scent takes flight in a labyrinth of intense, vibrant floral, woody and amber notes. Soaring and fresh, orange sparkles in the top notes, carried by the power of bitter almond. The delicious note segues into the nectar of orange blossom, the first flower of a sumptuous bouquet blending honey-tinged May rose and solar jasmine sambac, enhanced by the light of ylang-ylang. To exalt these infinitely precious flowers, selected from the most refined qualities of his palette, the Guerlain Perfumer has chosen the suavest scents. Vanillic, powdery benzoin, creamy sandalwood and enveloping white musk...

A powerful trail that distills the quintessence of Guerlain fragrances.

A New Eco-Woke Hotel In The Heart Of Mallorca, Spain

Son Fogueró Illes Balears, Spain

Son Fogueró is the latest must-visit international holistic retreat for those seeking design, yoga, silence, and healthy eating

Empathy, Harmony, Serenity, Friendliness, Flow, Fulfilment, Love, Relaxation, Enjoyment, Calm, Gratitude, and Kindness - the 12 names assigned to the hotel bedrooms as a declaration of intent for this holistic health retreat in Mallorca, Spain.

A space designed by a couple who have succeeded in combining their professions – he is a designer and she is a doctor – to create an idyllic environment for mental and physical detox, to reconnect with one’s own essence through design and well-being.

Son Fogueró has design, art, and health at the very heart of its project, and it goes far beyond your usual tourist getaway. The ecohotel was born with an unquestionable vocation to provide a wellness space that promotes a healthy lifestyle, with an awareness of the body and of nutrition.

For this reason, the hotel’s gastronomy features a diet free from meat, sugar, gluten, or dairy, with the option of vegetarian, flexitarian, or anti-inflammatory meals.

The owners of this old Mallorcan family farmhouse, dating back to the turn of the century, joined forces to combine their lifestyle and work to create this beautiful 12-room hotel in Maria de la Salut. It is situated in the heart of Mallorca, just 3 kms from Sineu, which was named one of the most charming towns in the world.

Twelve rooms designed as unique pieces of art, brought together by common areas, such as a living room with a large fireplace and a piano, a summer dining room, extensive gardens, and a swimming pool with a health pool bar serving healthy, nutritious food.

The design was developed by the hotel’s owner, David Jofra, founder of international furniture firm Dareels, and his team. The holistic health guidance is led by the hotel’s second owner, Inés Alemany.

A winning combination that attracts the attention of dozens of guests who feel the pull of a silent getaway, far from their hectic routines. The hotel offers a detox program that is very easy to achieve in the silence, nature, and beauty that permeates Son Fogueró.

The boutique hotel is becoming a benchmark destination for international holistic retreats. In its first two seasons, it has already hosted several retreats from the US and Germany. This is undoubtedly an upward trend which looks to strengthen itself in idyllic settings such as Son Fogueró in Mallorca.

Design and art go hand in hand with holistic health, yoga, and organic, vegan, and sustainable food.

Bentley Motors announced that production has started on the all-new Bentayga Extended Wheelbase at the company’s sustainable factory campus in Crewe, UK. In parallel, Bentley confirms Type Approval and a set of performance figures that delivers the renowned effortless luxury of a Bentayga, without compromise.

BENTLEY STARTS SERIES PRODUCTION OF CLASSLEADING BENTAYGA EXTENDED WHEELBASE

Bentayga Extended Wheelbase (EWB) increases the Bentley range to five models, the result of a nine-figure investment to create the best rear cabin experience since the Mulsanne. It builds on the strengths of the Bentayga, a car that defined the luxury SUV sector at launch in 2015. Following its debut earlier this year, the EWB accounts for approximately 40 per cent of total Bentayga Global orders and further cements the model as Bentley’s best-selling.

Following official certification, Bentley can announce performance data for the very first time. Powered by Bentley’s proven 4.0-litre 32-valve dual twin-scroll turbocharged V8 petrol engine, the Bentayga EWB V8 offers supercar performance, developing 542 bhp (550 PS) and 568 lb.ft (770 Nm) of torque, resulting in a top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h) and 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds (100 km/h in 4.6 seconds).

To complement this performance with an unrivalled

cabin, the extension of the wheelbase of the Bentayga by 180 mm includes changes to the underfloor, side panels and roof. The increased length is all in the rear door, creating an exceptionally luxurious rear cabin that is larger than any other luxury competitor. This allows an emphasis on wellness, with the introduction of the world’s first auto climate and advanced postural adjustment rear seat.

Bentley Extended Wheelbase is available with three seating configurations, including a standard, all-new 4 + 1 layout with occasional middle seat, alongside four and five-seat versions. Luxurious, 16-way adjustment, heating, ventilation and five massage programmes help minimise fatigue throughout a journey.

Optional Airline Seat Specification offers maximum relaxation in the rear, with backrests that recline to 40 degrees and make it easier to sleep. Other key features include Seat Auto Climate, Postural Adjustment, additional cushion and backrest bolster adjustment,

”

plus heated rear door and centre armrests.

Peter Bosch, Member of the Board for Manufacturing at Bentley Motors, said:

“The new Bentayga Extended Wheelbase is the next chapter in the Bentagya story which, since the original luxury SUV came to market in 2015, has transformed the sector and resulted in record sales. At Bentley, we collaborated with our customers to stretch the class-leading SUV’s breadth of ability even further, leading to a rear-cabin experience comparable to the

legendary Mulsanne.

“In our Crewe, U.K. Dream Factory, we combine the highest levels of innovation, craftsmanship and sustainability. Each car produced contains leading technology and is an artisanal piece of art, handcrafted using only the finest of materials, in true Bentley fashion. As part of the Bentley experience, our first EWB customers significantly personalised their orders and we are proud to now deliver the first highly bespoke cars of our new sector-defining pinnacle model.”

Majestically located above the Atlantic Ocean, flanked by the magnificent Twelve Apostles and Table Mountain, discover a unique five-star experience close to the vibrant heart of the city. This luxury boutique hotel offers beautifully appointed rooms, dramatic ocean views, delicious dining adventures, and an award-winning Spa, all delivered with the generous hospitality characteristic of Red Carnation Hotels.

The award-winning Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa, part of the family-run Red Carnation Hotel Collection, is situated on Cape Town’s most celebrated scenic route fronted by a Marine Sanctuary with frequent sightings of whales, dolphins and seals. Poised above the Atlantic Ocean, the five-star 70-room boutique hotel is flanked by the majestic Table Mountain National Park, a World Heritage Site, and the Twelve Apostles mountain range. Ideally located for Camps Bay Beaches and just 15 minutes from the V&A Waterfront, yet directly on the mountain, guests can step out onto our flora and fynbos-framed trails to explore and enjoy this staggeringly beautiful setting.

Absolutely nothing prepares you for the sheer magnificence of various sights, smells and sounds as you drive on the coastal route towards the hotel. With so much extraordinary land- and seascape to feast your eyes on, you have to take care not to drive right past the entrance to the hotel, which is via a rather unassuming indoor driveway. Upon arrival at the lobby, every guest is greeted by the superfriendly doormen. The lobby itself – just like the hotel’s other communal areas- features an opulent decor and classic decor. Dutch antiques, mirrors, wooden columns, works of art, and Chinese vases create a homely, boutique-like feel.

12 Apostles is considered an iconic landmark in Cape Town. The property used to be a hunting lodge and private farm, before it was turned into a luxury hotel. Part of the original landhouse – with its two prominent Cape Dutch frontal gables – has been preserved and incorporated in the main wing. The distinctive sea-front building with its blinding white facade is even used by sailors around the Cape Peninsula as a nautical navigation point.

The hotel’s indigenous garden blends into the mountainside, and guests are able to stroll straight from their rooms onto the mountainside to take in some fresh air and spectacular sea and mountain views or explore the various mountain trails – from 10 minutes to 45 minutes in duration – within the Table Mountain National Park, part of the UNESCO World Heritage site. Some of the planet’s most mesmerizing views are to be enjoyed from a spot right above the hotel, with uninterrupted panoramas towards Camps Bay, Lion Head, Table Mountain and the deep-blue Atlantic Ocean. Here, the hotel has constructed some specially laid out picnic sites ,where you can toast to romance while the sun sets into the Atlantic Ocean or simply let the kids run wild in the open space.

The hotel features two small pools in the gardens surrounding the buildings: a rock pool with mountain views is located on a terrace behind the hotel, while a heated infinity pool is set on a seafront courtyard, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. A fully serviced tanning deck and 10 hammocks in the fynbos gardens are also ideal for lazy days soaking up the sun.

SLEEP BEAUTIFULLY

Dramatic mountain views, or endless ocean vistas? You decide. But one thing’s for certain: in every one of our 55 deluxe guest rooms you’ll be assured of captivating panoramas, inspired décor and luxurious hospitality.

Filled with natural light, THE individually-designed rooms always keep guests’ comfort in mind, using carefully chosen pieces and a calm palette that reflects the wide-reaching views over the surrounding ocean and dramatic mountain.

In addition, vibrant wall murals grace the pool decks, fountains and spa to add a three-dimensional element to the treasured art collection inside the hotel.

DETOX TIME!

A team of qualified therapists oversees wellbeing and rejuvenation during your stay, with spa treatments inspired by holistic principles, combining ancient wisdom and modern expertise. There is also a gym on site, but for a more serious workout the hotel provides passes to a nearby health club.

A CULINARY DESTINATION

The Twelve Apostle’s restaurants are consistently rated amongst Cape Town’s best, from the refined and special retreat of Azure Restaurant, to the laid-back charm of The Café Grill, famous for Sushi By The Sea.

The Azure Restaurant, with a terrace that overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and enjoys incredible sunset views, is the ideal location to indulge in a succulent meat or fresh seafood dish. The modern French menu with South African influences is updated regularly by executive chef Christo Pretorius. The Café Grill offers a more casual and relaxed dining experience with a 24 hour accessible menu.

The Leopard Bar is the most scenic spot in Cape Town for sundowners and cocktails. Breathtaking views of the Atlantic, coupled with live music and the longest hours of sunshine of any hotel in the city make the bar a popular hot spot with hotel guests and local residents alike. In winter, fire places and blankets keep guests cosy while sipping on a glass of wine.
