Hermès presented its Winter 2021 collection designed by Véronique Nichanian as part of Paris Fashion Week Men’s.

A collection that encourages us to embrace the new ways we are living life and take on a new approach to clothing. Creative Director Véronique Nichanian explains; “at a time when lifestyles are changing, we have been seeing new customs flourish. Our approach to clothing, now of utmost importance, is currently undergoing a transformation, and my job is to come up with propositions.”

Formal meets casual with relaxed shapes and elegant layering, while pieces are worn in a loose and laidback manner.

Technical cottons, luxury fabrics and sophisticated tartan prints make this a collection that combines the future of fashion with the elegant heritage of Hermès. The luxury garments are both stylish and practical, meeting the needs of the modern man and  blurring the lines between formal and informal.

Outerwear comes in the form of hooded jackets, parkas with high collars and hoods and straight coats with playful unframed pockets. Raincoats and three-button jackets are both practical and stylish.

There is a distinct uniqueness to the pieces with graphic lines, distorted pockets, and playful asymmetry. The graphic lines create optimistic illusions of movement.

Relaxed jogging pants, oversized trousers with drawstring waits or tapered trousers with drawstring waist offer a casual approach to day wear.

A colour palette of cumin, glycin, H red, frost blue are playfully blended with tones of liquorice, pepper and petroleum blue – combining warm winter colours with refreshing tones.

The film created by Cyril Teste was broadcast live from the Mobilier National in Paris, viewers were invited to get an insight into the inspiration for the collection thanks to the minimalist architecture which echoes the unique expression of masculinity behind the designs. Nichanian explains: “The inside and the outside now freely ow one into one another, as do the personal and the public, the private and the professional. I wanted my clothes to reflect that.”

She continues: “I want to believe in a form of optimism and pleasure indistinguishable from the creative spirit; and that is what this collection sets out to show. It offers new passageways between house and city, room and balcony, intimate and social. It erases landmarks, turns the formal into the casual and expresses an aspiration for lightness, and a welcome diversion.”

As part of Milan Fashion Week Mens Borsalino presented its Fall/Winter 2021/22 collection.

Titles The Borsalino Gentlemen’s Club hosted by  Karl Edwin Guerre this was a collection inspired by the Arts and Crafts design movement with its well-defined symbols and stylistic features, Creative Curator Giacomo Santucci explores the multiple functions hats have today with a key thought in mind: “True luxury is not only feeling good about oneself, but it also about making others feel good.”

Santucci contemplates a  personal inner retrospective and the need to reconnect with nature while giving added value to authenticity and savoir-faire through a homage to past recollections and memories.

The collection examines how hats are no longer just for covering one’s head but are a style statement and an opportunity for the wearer to express their personality.

The men’s collection features a harmony of authentic, stand-out pieces including classic Borsalino shapes with small, medium and large brims and the essential rollable Traveler styles.  Curated details, from the optical patchwork, foliage motifs, leather décor, to the visible stitching, all draw on a harmonious contrast against the precious felt mélange and added a new wool edition. The cult Plate model in the softest Alessandria felt features a leather back patch, handcrafted double pleating and a proposed colour palette of Black, Blueberry, Date and Porto.

For ladies, there is a play on decorative elements that enhance the timeless shapes of the Audrey, Claudette, Sophie and Violet styles as well as the two shapes: Lucy and Eveline.  Detailing is seen in the chenille trim, leather bands, optical ribbon patchwork and striped mohair décor. The new Eleonora style in pastel shades of Powder and Astral as well as chic elegant Nero, sports a delicate foliage motif found on the hat ribbon and lining.

A selection of unisex styles reflect and enhance the Maison’s seasonal themes. Baseball caps, sailor models, berets and the bucket hat are presented in a  range of new materials including the premiere of a calfskin-effect fabric, black Mystery patent leather and rainproof nylon. In precious eco-cashmere, the knitted tricot beanie is crafted in ribbed stockinette stitch.

The outfit choices throughout the Inauguration of President Biden have been much talked about across the globe.

As a day of celebrations came to a close, First Lady Dr Jill Biden was pictured in a stunning white ensemble and it seems her choice of outfit was more symbolic than you may realise.

Designed by Gabriela Hearst the First Lady wore an ivory double-breasted cashmere coat and matching silk wool cady dress and face mask.

The flowers were added to represent unity as Gabriela Hearst explained on her social media account: “The message of unity is the main inspiration for the creation of the ensemble. Unity makes strength and it is needed for the road ahead.”

The flowers used to represent this message are the federal flowers from every US state and territory of the United States of America. The flowers are embroidered onto the hemline of the coat as well as on the neckline and arms of the dress.

As a tribute to the First Lady’s love of embroidery, the flowers were added by hand in New York City. Each flower took approximately two to four hours to embroider and the careful colour selections and placements took weeks.

Inside the coat, is a coat from Benjamin Franklin. It reads; “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.”

And as a final touch, all of the materials were used from available existing fabric to minimise the impact on the environment, something which is certain to be a vital part of the incoming administration’s policies.

The Omani founder wanted to make a statement of modernity and traditional harmony through her fragrance creations that take inspiration from the landscape and surroundings of the UAE.

OJAR comes from the word HOJARI which is widely regarded as the finest quality of Frankincense resin in the world and found in Oman’s Dhofar mountains. So it’s no surprise that Frankincense is one of the key ingredients of the collection.

Burberry has unveiled its Autumn/Winter 2021 Pre-Collection, designed by Chief Creative Officer Riccardo Tisci.

The collection takes inspiration from Burberry’s connection with the outdoors which has sat at the heart of the brand since Thomas Burberry founded the house.

Camouflage and floral prints represent the great outdoors, while a colour palette of warm earthy tones highlights a connection to nature. The classic Burberry trench is revisited for this season, while mesh bodysuits, cargo trousers, short-sleeved shirts and jogging pants provide the perfect combination of daywear and eveningwear.

‘This is my uniform for the outdoors. My love for all the contrasting elements of nature has been explored and reflected throughout this collection, combining the romance and beauty of nature with utility and practicality. I have been inspired by the rich heritage of traditional British dress codes and given them a fresh perspective: tempering camouflage prints to blend harmoniously within natural environments, combining them with structured tailoring and romantic florals, broderie anglaise details and references to the animal kingdom. This collection is about mirroring the natural environments within its dynamic prints, colours and textures.’ Riccardo Tisci, Chief Creative Officer.

When it comes to coats they are always a key aspect of any Burberry collection. This season we see a number of camouflage-print coats including the trench, parka and car coat. The trench is revisited in technical wool with an oversized silhouette, worn with a lace overlaid shirt and foldover pleated shorts.

Protective diamond-quilting adorns a reconstructed barn jacket, as well as stitched into a technical wool cape and leather collarless coat. The Harrington jacket updated with badge appliqués and reimagined in the detailing of a trench coat.

A corset dress, second-skin skirts and tailored trousers recontoured with cut-outs. A wide-leg jumpsuit in wool twill, with exaggerated pockets and short-sleeved shirts with badge appliqués.

For evening, a sequinned gown with cut-out sleeves, a silk cady dress with a deep V-neck and box pleats, as well as a cut-out turtleneck dress worn with a reversible faux-fur car coat.

For men, camouflage also prevails across outerwear, on hoodies, cargo trousers and even kilts. The trench, parka and bomber jacket reworked in panelled florals.

Signature check coats with detachable bellow-pocket gilets are worn over coordinated plaid kilts and tuxedo trousers. Silk satin zip panels transform a grain de poudre wool tailored coat and wool silk tailored jacket.

While in evening wear, Restyled English-fit suits feature embroidered details and cropped trousers.

ETRO’s Fall/Winter 2021 menswear collection kicked off a new chapter for the brand with a virtual show this week as part of Milan Fashion Week.

Designed by Menswear Creative Director, Kean Etro, the collection takes on an optimistic, uplifting mood that embraces life and offers a bold new attitude.

With this collection, ETRO has asked itself what makes the House relevant for today’s customer and the result is an eclectic, colourful and ironic approach.

A sense of freedom runs through this collection which brakes fashion rules and pairs together unlikely pieces of daywear and eveningwear.

A combination of casual and smart, function and aesthetic, bold and muted this collection is a coming together of colours, prints and styles with a classic ETRO twist.

Impeccable blazers with cadet details and robe coats in rich fabrications are layered on colour- blocked sporty anoraks decorated with discreet Paisley patterns. Recycled wool maxi sweaters find place next to shirts featuring collars made of archival silk linings, while the Pegaso logo pops up on bomber jackets and oversized hoodies.

Prada’s Fall/Winter 2021 Men’s collection explores our need to touch and have contact with each other.

Designed by Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, it features geometric prints, bold colours and a flurry of textures.

This thoughtful collection focuses on the need to feel and the pleasure we can gain from various surfaces. Through a sensory experience of fabrics, this men’s collection fills the current gap in many of our lives.

Geometric-patterned jacquard knits and leathers are combined with re-nylon, bouclé tweeds and classic pinstripe wool suiting, in both traditional and unanticipated colours. Jacquard-knit bodysuits create a streamlined “second skin”, allowing movement and freedom for the wearer.

Silhouettes are mostly oversized, inadvertently emphasising the shape of the body. Single and double-breasted coats are constructed on rectilinear lines; bomber jackets are generous. Executed in leather and bouclé, lined in geometric jacquards, garments are sensual – crafting a topography of feeling, enjoyed by the wearer alone. Colour and pattern excites the eye; surfaces entice touch.

Devised by Rem Koolhaas and AMO, the show’s ‘non-spaces’ are defined by panes of marble, resin, plaster and faux fur. Inviting and seductive, they can pretend to be both interior and exterior, hard and soft, warm and cold: simultaneously both and neither, they allow absolute freedom of interpretation and expression.

After the digital show, Prada commits to upcycling the materials used in the production of the set through special product installations around the world. Once finished with the materials will be donated to Meta, a circular economy project based in Milan, which offers sustainable solutions to waste disposal within ephemeral events by collecting and recovering materials for selling and rentals. Meta works in collaboration with La Réserve des arts, an association offering a service of collection and recovery of raw materials and decoration waste from fashion shows, making them available to professionals and students in the cultural sector.

Tod’s revealed its latest menswear collection today through a film titled #sevenT.

Designed by Creative Director Walter Chiapponi the collection features a reinterpretation of classics through which he explores the Tod’s lifestyle of connecting with nature.

Tailoring is relaxed throughout the collection, while warm earthy tones are used on tweeds, wools and sturdy cottons that reflect the Italian landscape in which the film is set. This collection is all about being outdoors – something we have all come to appreciate and embrace of the recent months.

There are clear key pillars of the collection: the trench coat, the shirt-jacket, the hunting jacket and field jacket; all reflecting the traditional great outdoors and a passion to be at one with nature. Riding pants, ribbed sweaters and the college sweatshirt give the collection a young preppy feel. The classic Italian gentlemen combined with a young, free man embracing the day.

Of course, accessories were key to this collection as they always are. Shoes were built to be worn. Robust lace-ups with Norweigian stitching, ankle boots with Texan heels, multi-material sneakers and desert boots with enlarged gommini. These are durable shoes, perfect for winter months outside.

The “T” symbol returns this season on belt buckles and loafers. It is repeated on soft leather deconstructed backs. These almost seamless pieces were carefully handmade with minimum cuts.

A timeless collection that embodies the man of today.

Fendi presented its men’s Fall/Winter 2021collection as part of Milan Fashion Week Men’s via a virtual presentation.

Designed by Silvia Venturini Fendi the collection was playful with rich jewelled tones – exactly what we all need at this time. An optimistic adventure that provides hope for the future.

The film directed by Italian artist Nico Vascellari sets the scene for ‘What Is Normal Today ft. Silvia’ – an exclusive dance-pop track composed by Not Waving. Models appeared inside a 360-degrees mirrored tunnel.

Menswear classics are given a new sense of playfulness with a rainbow of colour and bold prints. The jeweller colour palette consists of sees emerald, vermillion, saffron, orange, fuchsia, cobalt and periwinkle colour-blocked against black, camel and charcoal, as linings, inlays and slashed seams flash with contrasting textures and shades.

The pieces are more than just fashion statements, they are multifunctional pieces with inspiration taken from workwear and uniforms offering a relaxed silhouette. Belted overcoat and trench shapes in cashmere flannel, satin, striped fur and shearling are infused with a cosy peignoir attitude and piped pyjama hemlines bring the indoors out and the outdoors in.

Diagonal quilting inflates all manner of silk jacquard separates from a shawl collar lounge coat to pullovers, shirt jackets and Bermuda shorts in a luxuriant expression of cocooning comfort, and ‘inside-out’ tailoring features deconstructed panels that expose padded FF logo linings. The conventions of ribbed and cable knitting are reimagined as long johns, cardigan scarves, mitten cuffs, and a wrapped ‘sleeve’ neck sweater for a weird and wonderful take on the ‘new normal’.

Fendi collaborated with British artist and performer Noel Fielding who created a series of colourful psychedelic artworks for the collection which featured a reimagined design of the Fendi logo which was emblazoned on some of the pieces. This multicolours scribble art embodies the season’s cosmic spirit while faces and creatures from Fielding’s imagination allow us all to dream. Fielding’s outré pop sensibility is the latest evolution in Silvia Venturini Fendi’s playful selection of artistic collaborators, that has previously included British artists John Booth, @HeyReilly and Sue Tilley, to name a few.

When it comes to accessories this season’s bags matches the uplifting mood of the ready-to-wear collection. Bold coloured leathers matte satin and hardware creates dipped-effect Baguette and flatpack shopper shapes, and miniature luggage styles reprise an embossed stripe FF monogram leather as backpacks and crossbody pouches. The Baguette takes on the form of a satchel and is also minimized as a cardholder.

Noel Fielding’s graphic art adorns the Peekaboo and an FF buckle tote in grainy calfskin.

The Ermenegildo Zegna XXX Winter 2021 collection was revealed via a virtual film set in Milan.

Designed by Artistic Director Alessandro Sartori, the collection titled “The (Re)set” opens a new chapter of tailoring for the modern man. Reflecting the new needs of men today and the ever-evolving demands for more fluid, functional and adaptable clothing, the collection sets new rules and style codes.

“We all are experiencing a new reality concerned with new needs, which lead us to previously unseen lifestyles and attitudes. It is precisely at a time like this, when everything is under discussion, that we, at Zegna, have decided to (Re)set. We have looked at our roots to (Re)interpret our style codes and (Re)tailor the modern man. Outdoor and indoor come together and a new way of dressing takes hold, where comfort and style blend to create a new aesthetic”,  Said Alessandro Sartori.

In a soft neutral colour palette with just a hint of red tones, new jersey fabrics were the basis for the collection. A material that is both soft, fluid and comfortable, allowing men to move freely whatever their way of life. Inspired by the idea of “staying at home” Sartori introduced track pants, hand-cut jersey slippers and shawl collars for the ultimate loungewear.

Chore coats in cashmere were wrapped like robes, while hybrid suits are made in double cashmere, knitwear replaces shirts, new sweaters, made of felted cashmere and knit, or knitted out of leather, are meant as outerwear; trousers and jackets are cut in shearling. Even briefcases, the very epitome of business, are deconstructed. Sartori is re-writing all of the rules.

This collection was about comfort and functionality. Suits were reimagined in loose fabrics or with a blazer tailored close to the body. It can be as supple as being cut entirely in knitted cashmere or jacquard and is worn with loose turtlenecks or zip-up tops in place of a shirt. Volumes are relaxed for the dropped shouldered jackets and the shirt jackets matched with full trousers, for the belted coats, the blousons and the double front jumpers.

Zegna’s #UseTheExisting concept also returned in this collection, while Sartori’s decision to use female models as well as male ones was an interesting one – perhaps suggestion the collection is even more adaptable and unisex than first realsed.

How have you spent this year and adapted your businesses to the changing times? 

It’s definitely been a very strange year for all of humanity, it’s the first time in my lifetime that I’ve seen something that affects everyone in the world and we are seeing human beings empathising with each other no matter who they are or where they are from. It has been a year of both positives and negatives. I do think it has given us the slap on the head we needed to slow down and not get so carried away with life, achievements, titles and money. It gave us a chance to revise our priorities, which is one of the positives. I feel sad for a lot of businesses who have struggled this year and a lot of people have lost their jobs which is extremely sad, but hopefully, things can start to look brighter and these people will have a forced opportunity to start a new chapter. Sometimes we need something to force us into new things.

Personally, my goal was to be as positive and focused as possible and not wallow in the misery of it all, so I worked out like crazy! I was stuck at home and I was thinking about my different teams and companies and the responsibility I had to ensure that they got their salaries and they don’t lose their jobs so I wanted my mind to stay sharp so that I could assess what was possible and ensure that we still made enough money to pay rent and bills and most importantly to pay the salaries of our staff. Most months we have managed to break even and pay our staff on time at a time where everyone really needs their salary. The way we worked was to be as creative as possible. We looked at what kind of content people actually need during this time: safety videos, social media campaigns on health, information on COVID etc. And once you start thinking differently about these things and change your mindset you can start to be successful even during the most difficult times. When it comes to ABtalks we were fortunate that we had created a lot of content before COVID so I already had a lot of videos to share, which was a great opportunity for us. At Chalk, we closed for a month and then we opened at 30 per cent capacity and we were immediately fully booked.

What does UAE National Day mean to you?

The UAE National Day is a beautiful celebration of the diversity of this country. I have travelled a lot and I have never seen a country that has so many nationalities, religions and cultures living alongside each other in such a peaceful state. It’s beautiful to see and I don’t think we sit down and realise often enough how nice it is. Secondly, the UAE National Day allows us to appreciate just how much this country has accomplished in less than fifty years. It’s nice to see how far we have come as a country and think about how far we can go.

What is the message of the UAE that you want to spread to others? 

I think it trickles down from the leadership all the way to us as individuals. The UAE is a country that has proven that with strong leadership and a good vision, anything is possible. The legacy of our leaders will always be there because they have touched everyone with their vision and this has filtered down to every Emirati and expat that lives here. My message would be that it’s a beautiful country and people who have already witnessed it will know that. It has taught us that anything is possible. Not in a cheesy way but it has shown us that we can do anything. People come here and they really do achieve their dreams. I think the United States marketed their country very well when they presented it as the “land of dreams” but I think it’s saturated now and it’s time for a new land of dreams and I think the UAE could be that. The great thing about the UAE is that if you have a unique idea, there’s a huge chance that you are the first because everything is new, but if you did it in London or New York, for example, the chances are someone will have already had that same idea and that is a great concept to have.

How do you think the younger generation in the UAE has become more entrepreneurial and daring? 

There is definitely an entrepreneurial spirit and I think the more people are seeing that you can actually export an idea rather than import it from another nation there is more desire to follow through with ideas in the UAE. The more the younger generation are seeing examples of this, the more they have confidence that they can do it. If you always think that the entrepreneurs are abroad, it’s difficult to personally relate. So I absolutely think the new generation will have that gutsy approach more so than my generation, because we are helping to build that confidence for them.

You are of course very close to your brothers – what are the challenges and benefits of working as a family business? 

The brother that works with me is Harith and he is by my side in everything! To be honest I don’t recommend working with family in general. It’s very tricky because there are a lot of emotions coming together and different types of relationships to manage. You can’t shout at a family member in the office and then go home and have a nice dinner. So it can be a bit tricky and honestly I wouldn’t recommend it generally, but if it does work, it can be hugely successful. Many of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs started out with their best friends or family members – so when it actually works, it really works. But it doesn’t always work! I would suggest clearly defining the boundaries if you are going to work with someone close to you because if things are not clear, you are bound to come up against problems.

How do you think your heritage has inspired you in what you do today?

No doubt being born in the UAE has inspired me. My childhood was spent in the sand there was literally nothing else. I would play in the sand every single day and we didn’t have any of these towers that we have today. The UAE was very different when I was born in the eighties and I think witnessing all of the development happen is of course inspiring. When you see things coming to life I think, whether consciously or subconsciously, it imprints on your mind and you have this ideology that your thoughts can transform into reality. That’s what this country has done and that’s why as Emiratis we are inspired to do the same.

You are a man of many roles, how would you sum up your professional life?

In simple terms, I do things that I love and that I’m good at. I think it’s a magical combination. A lot of people do things they love but they’re not necessarily good at them and that’s when they get disappointed, but if you have enough self-awareness and you have the right people around you who tell you what you’re good at and what you’re not, then you have a great combination and a huge chance of success.

What is a message that you would send to young Emiratis hoping to achieve their dreams?

I would ask people to try. It’s a minority who know what their passion is at a young age and if you don’t try anything how would you know? The only way to find out what you love doing and what you’re good at is to try. Secondly, it’s important to remember that some really good things in life take time and effort and you can’t have shortcuts.

We know you are very social media savvy – how do you think new technology and social media is helping the development of businesses in the UAE today? 

Social media has its positives and negatives of course, but it is a huge blessing to the world. When I was young and I wanted to travel, I would go to the book store and buy a book about the city I planned to visit. Today, I can go onto social media or Google and immediately know everything about the place I’m visiting. It’s beautiful how this large earth has become a small village and we are all so connected. These days you can contact almost anyone through social media and it has made everything so accessible. For my businesses, social media is a great marketing tool and it’s something I use a lot to showcase my brand.

What is your biggest achievement so far?

It’s so funny because when people ask me that question it diverts me to an emotional answer which is being a father. Suddenly my kids pop into my mind. Being a father is a beautiful thing, it’s one of the most meaningful things to do in life. Even if you can’t have kids I really think you should consider adopting, there are a lot of great kids who need good parents and that’s something that I would love to do one day. In terms of career, I would say my biggest achievement is being my own boss and owning my own time.

If you could give a message to your younger self what would it be?

I don’t like to go back into the past because if I did I would alter my present, but something that I wanted to do at a young age was to become a footballer. I’m quite sure I had the potential to be a professional, I played at a high level, but circumstances meant it didn’t happen, so maybe I would push my younger self to try it, but not doing that also made me who and what I am today.

We love your style, how would you sum it up?

I just know that I’ve always wanted to do things my way. Even if I’m wearing a traditional kandura, I’ll do something a bit different and that’s my personality. I love fashion and I think clothes are an expression of our personality. You can tell so much about a person by the way they dress and accessorise. So to sum up I would say my style is “subtle edginess” (something I stole from my clothing brand Buka!)

What can you tell us about your upcoming projects for the rest of the year and into 2021? 

I really tried to stop being a serial entrepreneur and I did put the handbrake on for a while but then this year we came up with an idea and I have to do it! I kept preaching that I wouldn’t because I already had so much on my plate, but I guess I was fighting against my nature which is to create new brands. So we will start something in food and beverage soon and I think it will be very interesting. It’s a space my brother Harith has really wanted to go into for a few years and I think we finally have a nice idea. Other than keeping the businesses healthy and profitable and growing, I want to expand ABtalks. This is my focus now and I want to be regarded as the best interviewer in the world. That’s my ultimate goal. It’s something that I love and I see myself in that space in the future.

What is the biggest challenge you face in what you do? 

Time management. I am quite good at it, but it is challenging. It’s really important to keep balance, which may differ from someone to another, but you have to get it right and prioritise. It’s important to have a holistic healthy life that balances everything.

What is the professional motto you live by?

Do something you love and what you’re really good at, if you combine these two you have a good chance of succeeding.

How would you describe yourself in three words?

Curious, passionate and focused.

Who or what inspires you the most?

It would be a very boring answer but nobody, me challenging myself is what inspires me.

How would you like to greet the UAE on its 49th anniversary?

I just want to say congratulations on a beautiful country. We’ve done so much and achieved so much in the UAE and I wish it safety, prosperity and joy. These are all important things that represent this country.

A duo of hyaluronic acid and plant-based glycerin delivers a sense of freshness and hydration that sets in with each application. A biopolymer extracted from manioc firms the skin and immediately smooths the features. The serum glides over the skin, leaving it divinely soft.

Le Lift Serum

Selected by Chanel Research, the black peppermint was grown was sustainable agriculture methods in the Drôme region of France. This key ingredient has an incredible ability to adapt to different environments and resist stress. LE LIFT Sérum uses Chanel’s signature technology PolyFractioning, to extract only the quintessence of the plant. This results in a pure and powerful extract; Peppermint PFA. Naturally and extremely antioxidant, Peppermint PFA was molecularly designed with new protective properties.

The active ingredient Black Peppermint PFA Complex offers a protective shield on the skin and is effective on all skin oxidation targets. It provides cells with overall protection against the stresses of our daily lives and provides the Peppermint PFA potential of the mitochondrion, the “power plant” that supplies the cells with energy. Its hydrophilic HYDROROS form acts on the surface to block external free radicals, linked to UV rays and pollution. And its lipophilic LIROS form, it penetrates the cell and reaches the mitochondrion to counteract oxidative stress caused by energy production.

LE LIFT collection

The black peppermint PFA complex completes the action of the botanical alfalfa concentrate, which combines performance and gentleness on the skin. In the epidermis, the botanical alfalfa concentrate stimulates epidermal differentiation to consolidate the skin barrier, reactivates the cellular proliferation of keratinocytes and thus induces epidermal thickening by 13%*. In the dermis, it increases synthesis of Type I collagen.

These two key ingredients together ensure the skin is protected against internal and external aggressors. The serum instantly delivers a tensing action which lasts for up to 24 hours. Your skin will look smoother, firmer and more luminous, whatever your age.

Etro’s Resort 21 collection is inspired by travel, representing all the personalities of the different guests of a hotel.

The collection was presented at an informal gathering at Milan’s iconic Four Seasons Hotel earlier this week and the pieces themselves paid tribute to the hotel’s guests who come from all walks of life.

In keeping with the brand’s continuous commitment to sustainability, Etro used eco-friendly fabrics as well as archival textiles which were put through an upcycling process.

All identified by the BENETROESSERE special tag, these unique pieces include patchwork denim pants and jackets crafted from vintage cloths, while shirts are made of eucalyptus yarns and polo shirts are realized in a special textile obtained through the recycling of plastic bottles.

Accessories come in the form of foldable totes in archival material and cross-body pouches showing the brand’s signature Paisley motifs.

Rami Al Ali has launched an initiative titled Ard Dyar that will support Syrian talent in the region.

The initiative began earlier this month with a series of intimate dinners. Ard Dyar is derived from the Arabic word that refers to the private courtyard inside a Syrian house. Taking a space usually reserved for close friends and family and reimagining it in a figurative sense in order to open it up to the rest of the world. Al Ali has decided to replicate this idea with the way he presents this project. Inviting new talent as well as established Syrian figures to come together and talk about their career success.

Rami Al Ali

Each Ard Dyar is themed around a particular industry with the first two sittings being centred on art and fashion. These initial dinners are designed to launch the concept, share experiences and to build a network that can support rising talent.

Rami Al Ali and guests

Rami Al Ali explains: “Many people are familiar with old Syria and what it has to offer from its rich history and culture, however, few people know about modern Syria. The objective of Ard Dyar is to spotlight the region’s talent and to create a community that helps these budding entrepreneurs succeed.”

The vision for this initiative is to continue to host Ard Dyar’s and grow the community in order to build a foundation of industry professionals who can assist with the development, success and opportunities needed to cultivate emerging Syrian talent.

Al Ali has always been dedicated to encouraging talents from his home country of Syria. The couture designer already has a mentoring programme at the ESMOD Fashion Institute in Dubai and In 2019, the designer took part of the non-profit organization Atassi Foundation exhibition in Dubai that aimed to shed light on the early beginning of the women’s art movement in Syria. He is also working with Dubai Design & Fashion Council (DDFC) as a Mentor to help regional talent.

The next Ard Dyar is scheduled for January 2021 and will host guests from industries relating to architecture and interior design. For more information on the initiative please don’t hesitate to get in contact.

Chanel has unveiled its new makeup collection Les Fleurs de Chanel.

Delicate meets bold and the liveliness of shimmering colours are combined with soft, subtle radiance. Soothing colours such as golden peach pink are juxtaposed with warm intense tones like bright red and orange to create a bold yet understated makeup look.

The new Les 4 Ombres palettes consist of soft tones that will illuminate the eyes. Add a touch of the Le Volume De Chanel mascara and a touch of the Ombre Premiere Laque on top of the powder eyeshadow to intensify shine and a touch on the corner of the eyes to create a point of light.

Lips

134 Pivoine Noire: a dusty berry red

New bright and bold lip colours come in the form of Rouge Allure Laque and Rouge Allure Velvet Extreme which will dress up the lips with shimmering colours that are both vibrant and radiant in matte, shiny or metallic finishes.
