On the Pulse
Just launched at Dover Street Market, Jewellery for Chromantics - a sumptuous book about one of our most imaginative and enigmatic jewellery designers, Solange Azagury-Partridge. With interests stretching from word origins, the principles of maths and the occult to the romance of coloured gemstones, her designs are equally wide ranging and the book examines each area of influence in her artistic and highly-crafted work.
Where Sun Meets Extraordinary
Escape from the ordinary and uncover adventure at Hilton All-Inclusive Resorts. Soak up the sun, jump into paradise, create unforgettable memories and enjoy exclusive savings.
Possibly the quirkiest watch collaboration ever - everyone's first watch brand, Timex, with fount of all things fashion avant-garde and repurposed, Maison Margiela. Timex x MM6 Maison Margiela takes the watch brand's workhorse T80 digital model and returns it to its 1970s roots, adding MM's signature numeric logo on front and clasp and an extra bracelet to create a stack; also a ring version. A collector's piece at a bargain piece.
Of the many designer-to-high street collaborations this autumn, this one has real heart. Jo Hooper, founder of easy-dressing, colourful, mid-level range NRBY and polymath Tracey Boyd - illustrator and print, fashion and interiors designer - have poured their long friendship into timeless, ageless party season specials, in silk velvet and crepe with embroidery, beading and delicate details, straighforwardly titled Boyd x NRBY, limited editions out now.
Ultra-Luxury Safari
A rare, refined and highly personalised experience in the African bushveld, Cheetah Plains indulges you in a sophisticated, innovative, sustainable safari experience of a lifetime.
Perfect for an exclusive family vacation or a luxurious sojourn with friends with world-class comforts and prolific wildlife experiences.
Probably the most extensive exhibition on hats, and one stellar milliner, has just opened at the Palais Galliéra in Paris (until March 16). The in-depth review of Stephen Jones’s career spans early days in London and the influence of 1980s New Romantics clubs like Blitz, a recreation of his workroom focusing on its intricate crafts, his love of French culture, his clients from rock stars to royalty and his creations for couturiers including Mugler, Gaultier, Galliano at Dior and Daniel Roseberry at Schiaparelli that make a Paris exhibition so appropriate.
With just 11 seats available this one-of-a-kind dinner on 17 October at the three-Michelin-starred Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester in London, will be a dinner to remember, pairing dishes from Chef Patron Jean Phillipe Blondet with wines from Chateau Cheval Blanc, including some more than 30 years of age.
Jewellery meets art at PAD London, the premier location for mid-century style. A select group taking design, materials and execution to the next level includes Hemmerle’s adventurous metals and extraordinary hardstones, Boghossian’s exclusive techniques with the most peerless gems, Glenn Spiro’s ancient stones treated in unexpected ways and a new addition - Parisian jeweller Elie Top and his elegant take on Gothic fantasy. A collector's paradise, from October 8 to 13.
