First a disclaimer: I have long had a soft spot for the Four Seasons New York. In fact we go way back. That’s because, during the four years I spent in Rhode Island studying for my bachelor’s degree, I would often try to explore as much of the East Coast of the United States as […]
Is Morocco on your bucket list? It oozes wanderlust, yet for us, it somehow always seems to slip in terms of travel priorities. Perhaps it’s too close to home, or maybe over popular with our region’s masses, but the North African country certainly deserves a fair shake. With its colourf…
Santoni make shoes. Perhaps best known for their men’s lines – although since 2005, they have been making shoes for women, too – they occupy an interesting niche, somewhere between the artisanal and the industrial. They’re also 100 per cent made in Italy – in a stunning eco-friendly fac…
Hollywood superstar Will Smith stays at the Kempinski in Dubai’s Mall of the Emirates and has a go on the neighbouring indoor slope: first on some skis then in a giant inflatable ball. If nothing else, his enthusiasm is wildly contagious.

In her Ashrafieh office, Nadine Labaki's career is written across the walls: framed posters, production stills, scouts' photographs and hundreds of Post-its, a slapdash record of an extraordinarily busy year in film.
It’s said that La Perle won’t turn a profit for the first five years. That provides some inkling into how much money was spent conceptualising this mind-blowing show and turning it into a reality. Indeed, the four credits pages at the back of the show’s official programme read like a Ho…
Backstage at Gucci’s A/W 2018 show in Milan, Alessandro Michele merges past, present and future in a collection inspired by ‘A Cyborg Manifesto’, a 1985 essay by Donna Haraway that rejects rigid boundaries separating human from animal and human from machine.
